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. Monday, January 07, 2002 11:07 AM Victims Compensation I just want to voice my opinion that what started out as a goodwill gesture has turned the families of the victims into a greedy bunch. While I feel that there should be some monetary help for interim use - I, as a tax payer, do not want to support these families for years to come. That is why we have other avenues such as "life insurance". I think we are setting a bad precedence when we value these lives over those of other "ordinary" American citizens and our active military. We will see ramifications from this that we as taxpayers will not be able to afford in the future. Sympathy for the victims is turning to disgust over their greed - this is not good. We need to stop this before it gets any worse. Give each family a like amount - regardless of family size or income - but do not make it an extravagant figure. Does the family of a single person with no dependents really need $1 million-plus? No amount will bring these people back.
