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. Tuesday, January 22, 2002 3:30 PM Victim Compensation Fund I have been watching and listening to the stories that have been presented on the news for the last several months. I am growing concerned about this Victim Compensation Fund. Please don't take me wrong. I believe that the events of September 11th was the most horrific thing that I hope and pray that I will ever see in my lifetime. However, I am continuing to hear stories about the survivors of the victims from September 11th and how they are not be fairly treated....they haven't received any money from the charities or from this fund...when is it coming...and so on... My question/concern is that this money that is going to be given to the survivors/victims of September 11th is EXTRA. Had any of these people been killed in a car accident, drowned boating while on vacation, or any other accident that claims the lives of innocent people everyday, the EXTRA fund/monies would not be given to them. One story that caught my attention was about a widower who had already been given approximately $20,000. She had spent this money in about a month's time. That is more than some people make in a year or even 2 years! Are their bills that astronomical? Was there no insurance? What would have happened if their loved one was killed in an everyday accident? How would they have survived then? Were the families of the Oklahoma City bombing treated in the same manner? Are families that lose everything and/or loved ones in hurricanes or floods or earthquakes treated the same? My thoughts and prayers go out to the many who lost loved ones on September 11th. We have shown since September 11th that we are one of the greatest countries in the world and that we are United.
