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. Wednesday, January 16, 2002 5:37 PM Victim Compensation Fund Life is full of imperfections, and perhaps it's difficult to find an equitable way to recompense the loved ones of those who died in the 11 September tragedy. But Congress appears to have certainly exacerbated the matter greatly by slicing the pie in a manner which denies a widow and seven children any portion of the Fund simply because he had life insurance. As a retired Federal Government worker myself, I have insight as to how the U.S. Government functions and how politically-oriented thinking can make decisions which are coldly bureaucratic and supposedly "in the best interests of all." Well, I don't think Congress was at all equitable in coming up with the rules applied to who would get what in this case. Therefore, I respectfully urge the DOJ to carefully consider the matter and act accordingly.
