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, January 09, 2002 4:56 PM I lost a son at the WTC @ &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp and I myself worked there as well. I was fortunate to not have been in the building at that time. My son is survived by his wife and two children. She has read the fund's regulations and so have I. She being the personal representative has a choice of accepting or rejecting this offer. By signing this agreement and the way it is written I object to the fact that I as the parent have no recourse in this matter if she (the wife) accepts this offer. I feel that my civil rights are being violated by this agreement. My daughter-in-law and children are a separate and apart from my husband and I. Do you or Congress think that I have not suffered from that day and every day that goes by I don't think of my son suffering during this attack. I lost most of my friends in those towers and I will never recovery from the heartache. Who in his right mind would deny me the RIGHT to sue for pain and suffering? Has anyone in Congress lost family in the WTC? I think not, otherwise why would this fund be written to accommodate the airlines and not the grieving families of all those who have died for no accountable reason other than being there. Can anyone explain this to me? You people have quite a bit of revamping to do on this document if you expect families to accept this as is. I for one would totally reject it, we are not fools and don't think for one moment that we can't see how sugar coated this was for the airlines. I am one sorry American to have to read all the restrictions that go along with this fund, besides all the deductions as well. You people in Congress should be ashamed of yourselves for trying to pass this off to the American public.
