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, March 17, 2002 6:17 PM 9/11 Hello, I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the policy of the victims fund as expressed by Kenneth Feinberg in his appearance on the Sunday, March 10 broadcast of NBC's "Meet the Press"...to say that partners of Gay people killed in the tragedy would not receive compensation like everybody else is appalling...To use a situation like this for political play is distressing to say the least. I think that it is morally wrong to disregard the partners of gay victims - or the partners of any victims for that matter. They are suffering the same tragedy as everybody else...They too are feeling pain and loss...They too won't get to grow old with their partner...They too have had their lives torn apart...Isn't this a time to show solidarity...Isn't this a time to overcome bigotry... I watched the tragedy unfold form a country almost half way around the world and was moved by the strength and love that Americans showed throughout the following months...Kenneth Feinberg's comments are making me feel sick and cheated...like I have been taken for a ride...like the whole thing has been a farce... What Kenneth Feinberg is saying is that although these people died as Americans, they are less than the other Americans that perished because they are Gay and therefore shouldn't be given the same courtesy and respect. I would be ashamed to be an American if this is the case...What a horrible state of affairs...I only hope you can realise the error of your ways and recognise all partners/families of all killed in the tragedy...Don't let your fellow Americans down.
