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, January 08, 2002 2:26 PM September 11,2001 Fund Rule Making My wife, , died at the World Trade Center. I had previously commented on the proposed regulations. Please accept my additional comments on the proposed regulations. I have read the comments of various individuals, Congresswomen and Congressman, as reported in the January 7, 2002, edition of the New York Times. I believe the best method to reconcile those views with those of Mr. Feinberg would be to raise the uniform award for non-economic losses to be at least $750,000. Raising this minimum could save many families from making an agonizing inquiry and investigation as to the circumstances of the victim's death in their attempt to argue that "special circumstances" warrant an award higher than $250,000. One point that appears to have been overlooked recently is that when the Fund was established by Congress, the estimate of dead and missing was between 5000-6000 people. Thankfully, the toll has now dropped to approximately 3120 people, and accordingly, the Fund should be able to respond, more generously, per victim than previously thought.
