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. Saturday, November 24, 2001 10:36 AM Comments To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to provide my comments on the current proposal for the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund. I would like to first express my appreciation that such efforts have been initiated and that public comment has been requested. Unfortunately, these issues are very dear to me, because I lost my husband, who was working at One World Trade Center on September 11th. I read the proposed regulations quite closely and feel that much of the plan for the Victims' Compensation Fund is fair to the victims and their families. I am quite concerned, however, with one of the specific clauses in the proposal: I believe that families' compensation should not be reduced by the amount of supplemental life insurance received. Such a reduction would punish those victims who sacrificed some of their earlier earnings to offer their family some extra security. Certainly, we do not want these earlier sacrifices by the victims to result in less funds being obtained by their family members. In addition, we do not want to discourage others from planning in the future for their heirs. I hope you consider my suggestion when you develop the final rules for the Fund. Thank you once again for seeking the input of the public. Sincerely, Individual Comment Green Brook, NJ September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2001-11-24 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
