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.

Saturday, March 16, 2002 3:23 PM (no subject) I am disgusted and outraged at the decision not to compensate gay and lesbian partners of victims of the terrorist attacks. There is no justifiable reason for this except that America is once again turning her back on her gay and lesbian citizens. The reason given for this atrocity is that state laws have to be followed. But what about federal law regarding illegal aliens? Why is it that federal law can be broken, but state law cannot? I believe that this is just an excuse to discriminate against gays and lesbians. This decision makes their deaths look less meaningful than the deaths of others. And this is not the case. Please change this decision so that ALL Americans get compensated in the same way, for the same amounts. Don't turn your back on these forgotten heroes and their families.
