September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. 1/19/02 Special Master Kenneth Feinberg Victim's Compensation Fund Department of Justice Washington, DC 20510 Dear Mr. Feinberg, I am writing after hearing you speak on Wednesday evening at the information session. You encouraged individuals to contact you about our concerns. I do not need to reiterate the obvious complaints that have previously been voiced regarding the Victims' Compensation Fund. I do however feel it is necessary to let you know that I am most uneasy about the fact that it seems the federal government is forcing you to keep within the parameters of a program that ha s already been established. It seems the guidelines for the fund have been in place nationally for more "common" disasters, if there is such a thing as a common disaster, and I do not think that you will find anyone who would disagree that this unique tragedy calls for "new" unique guidelines. This is especially crucial considering our country's financial center was intentionally targeted by terrorists. Further, I respect the fact that the government is acting in order to save the airlines and ultimately head our country in a positive direction but at the same time you have presented this program as a competitive type of challenge. This seems to be an inappropriate approach considering the circumstances. I appreciate the fact that you have allowed yourself to be approachable and I hope that eventually we can all reach a common acceptable ground.
