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, February 20, 2002 7:39 PM Victims Compensation Bill I was married to a 26 year old beautiful woman, who had her whole life ahead of her. She did what she was suppossed too, was a productive member of society and paid her taxes. One morning - 6 days before our 1st wedding anniversary, she was murdered by terrorists. Not only do I blame the terrorists, but I also blame the US Government from not doing anything to stop this tragedy before it happened. You were more than aware of the threats to our citizens, but did not release this info. My wife worked on the floor of tower 1 and this is something we discussed on a weekly basis. She had a plan to evacuate and kept a gasmask in her desk. If she was aware of the imposed threat, we would have gone on vacation that week. But because, you the US Government failed to inform us of said threat and failed to protect its citizens from terrorism, my wife and 3000 others are dead. Then, i find out I am being forced to take a settlement from the GOVT, because they are more interested in bailing out the airlines and saving face. This totally disgusts me. And the fact that most americans dont seem to understand, is that this is not charity, but a bailout by the government so that airlines do not go bankrupt. Most americans feel that the amount of money is way to high. Let me tell all you farmers out there, we are talking about people who made millions a year. 1.65 million is not even a years salary, let alone more than most people make in thier lifetime, as others have written to you. My wifes potential was unlimited, but you are definately limiting the respect I will show the government in the future. Treat our families right. I will give back all the money , if the government comes to me and admits its mistake and role in the death of my wife. May I not be mad forever. For everyones sake.
