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, March 13, 2002 10:24 AM 9/11 Fund I am writing in regards to Mr. Kenneth Feinberg's remarks on Sunday's Meet The Press. I sincerely urge Mr. Feinberg to extend funds to all of the victims' families, regardless of the victim's sexual orientation. I am one of the many New Yorkers who witnessed the Trade Center collapsing (from 10 blocks away), a site I will not soon forget. I also lost friends to this attack. And I am a gay man. Please do not allow politics to prevent the families of the victims from receiving some sort of closure. This is the only way for them to make some sense of all of this and to be able to grieve their loved ones. Do not deny them this decency, as it will only drag on their pain for an extended period of time as they fight for what was rightfully theirs to begin with. As the law has been bent to allow illegal immigrants to gain compensation, so should it be "bent" here. The reasoning behind the former is to allow ALL victim's families to receive compensation, not SOME. Otherwise this exception would not have been made. Be consistent in this ideal and allot all family members the necessary compensation.
