Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Tuesday, November 06, 2001 11:24 PM My comments I work with crime victims in three cities near Dallas and Fort Worth. I highly recommend that you look at the program of Crime Victims Compensation in Texas and California. Both of these states have very good programs and you might learn from them. I think that if you are using tax payer money, you need to be even more careful how you disburse it. The other aspect is to be sure that you have adequate manpower and the latest fax/scanner/computer equipment to do the job. The State of Texas now has machines that you fax to and the document is scanned directly into the computer of the worker and decisions can be made quickly. Outsourcing documents is a disaster. Hiring some consultants from other states might save you a lot of time and money. I definitely think you should make the fund a "payer of last resort". As much as I am for helping the victims of New York, nothing will erase the pain and sorrow. Money will ease the hardship to some extent but overreaction can serve to victimize the tax payers if you don't use discretion. I wish I were there to help.
