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 13, 2002 11:06 AM comments on 9/11 victims compensation I hadn't heard about this place for comments until after the deadline, or I surely would have commented sooner. While I care about the victims of the 9/11 attack, I think it is a HUGE mistake for the US Government to compensate survivors of war victims. This is the job of charities and insurance companies, and for the federal government to set this precedent is misguided and incredibly dangerous, opening a Pandora's box of sorts. Personally, our family donated far more to charities toward those affected by this horrendous tragedy than they could ever expect to recover from our tax dollars. (I believe our gift was equivalent to about an eighth of our annual income tax bill.) Americans care. They care that needs these met responsibly. They will respond generously. But I, for one, do not want my government going into the business of negotiating the worth of the lives of victims of this or any other tragedy.
