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. Monday, March 18, 2002 6:03 PM Compensate Gay Partners As an American, I am disgusted by the exclusion of compensation for the partners of gays and lesbians killed in the 09/11 terrorist attack. Had I known that this was the policy of the victim's fund, I never would have donated. You should carefully evaluate who gets the compensation. As part of this evaluation, you should allow partners of gays and lesbians killed to be candidates to be considered. How much effort would this really take? Establish criteria (i.e. living together, testimonials, etc.) and make a fair decision. Your current policy is a disgrace to America. How dare you suggest that some partners of those killed are more entitled than others. If the laws of this country allowed gays and lesbians to marry, they would be covered. Eventually, this will be the case and when it is, the Victim's fund will be remembered as bigoted and unfairly discriminatory. THANKS FOR MAKING A HORRIBLE SITUATION EVEN WORSE!
