Victims compensation fund

Kenneth Zwick
Department of Justice

I would like to express my disagreement with the rules issued by Kenneth
Feinberg, the Special Master, for the Victims Compensation Fund of 2001,
P.L. 107-42.

Mr. Feinberg is not satisfying the intent of this legislation. Asking
victims families to sign documents that sign away future rights for an
unknown settlement is ludicrous. Deducting insurance, 401K and other assets
from this unknown settlement is an insult to the victims that acted
responsibly to provide for their families.

I hope you will see to it that these interim rules are reevaluated in the
interest of fairness.

Sincerely,

Individual Comment
Glen Head, NY
