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. Sunday, January 06, 2002 10:28 PM Taxpayers are not responsible! Mr. Feinberg, As a law-abiding and sympathetic taxpaying American, I am troubled by greed of other Americans. The Federal Government is not responsible for supplementing any insurance payouts from Sept. 11. It is a tragedy what happened. We have all mourned the loss of life, but surely I would not be eligible for any monies besides insurance for my wife's or son's untimely demise. If these people died in a hurricane or tornado or snowstorm or any natural disaster, then this compensation fund would not exist. Does this fund apply to the Oklahoma federal building bombing? How about the victims of the flood in Houston in June,2001? It is only because these horrible things took place in New York and Washington,D.C. that so much is being dedicated to them. Middle America doesn't matter to media and political types. If charities want to donate, then I applaud them. The victims' families should feel blessed that so many gave from their hearts to ease their suffering, but taxpayers should not be obligated via this fund to pay anything to them. If so, then anyone that dies by whatever means will be compensated lest they be discriminated. Let's leave this to the charities.
