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. Friday, November 16, 2001 12:51 PM Victim's Fund Operation Suggestions To Whom it may concern: The fund should give everyone the same amount of money, as no life lost was more or less valuable in the eyes of the government. Private sector charities are free to give money as they chose, and this must not be infringed upon by the government. If the fund docks money from a victim's family who has received private sector aid, the government is in effect negating these charitable donations, instead of those given involuntarily (by taxes). No life lost was more or less valuable in the eyes of the American public, either, and therefore equity in distribution of charity should be achieved as well. Political leaders should implore the organizers of charity funds to distribute the money donated evenly, as a means to this end. We are not socialist, and therefore should not force equal distribution of money.
