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 2:53 PM Victims Compensation Fund I am very confused about the purpose of this fund. Is this in addition to the millions of dollars this country has donated to the families (September 11 Fund, etc)? My heart aches for those who have lost loved ones and those whose livelihoods have been impacted by this tragedy. I have contributed privately to those funds already established but I don't know that I understand or agree with why the government is also going to be compensating the same set of victims. I think it is necessary to know how much each family has or will receive from other sources (other funds, Red Cross, life insurance, etc) before any public money is given. I'm still stuck on the point of why government monies are going to these victims when the private donations have been so generous. We need to be careful with this. Thousands of our innocent neighbors were killed on September 11 but thousands of our neighbors are being impacted everyday by job losses, etc. Are they to be compensated, too? If this program does come to fruition, the following things need to be considered: What financial resources does that family/victim already have? Where else have they applied for assistance? A cap needs to be established so the distribution of money is equitable and, therefore, providing enough to go around. Lawyer fees are not compensable! Money goes to the family for direct needs: food, clothing, shelter, education (within reason) Sincerely, Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2001-11-06 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
