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, March 12, 2002 3:17 PM Compensation for gay and lesbian partners I have just read with dismay the comments made by Mr. Kenneth Feinberg of the September 11 Fund denying compensation to gay and lesbian partners of victims of September 11. I urge Mr. Feinberg to reconsider and, in fact, to make history by reversing the pattern of discrimination against gay and lesbian partners. Because individual states discriminate is no reason for the September 11 Fund to follow suit; supporting bad policy is not okay. If anything the Fund should take this opportunity to let the American people know about its gay heros. To know that , a gay man, helped to bring down United Flight 93 and to spare our capitol a devasting attack is to know that the American people owe him our gratitude. That gratitude should be expressed in a policy of fairness in compensation. Please honor memory with a policy of inclusion that takes all victims partners, gay or straight, into account.
