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. Monday, January 07, 2002 6:27 PM Comments on Victim Compensation Fund My comments will be short and to the point: 1) The victims of 9/11 should NOT be compensated by the government using our tax dollars. They should not be allowed to sue the airlines, who were NOT responsible, for any amount of money. In fact, none of those actually responsible for 9/11 are in a position to sue, being either dead or otherwise unavailable. 2) The money collected from donations amounted to an awful lot. Isn't THAT money supposed to go to the victims? Time and energy would be better spent making sure that money gets to where it was supposed to go. There are a lot of people out there who donated money that they needed themselves and who wouldn't have donated if they had known they would be paying twice. 3) What makes the victims in New York any better than the other people that died that day? If you are to compensate NY victims families, compensate ALL victims families. The government is screwing this up and making really bad decisions in the area of victim compensation. Please fix it, on behalf of the rest of the citizens of this country.
