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, December 29, 2001 12:08 PM Sept 11 Victims Compensation Fund The offset provisions contained in the legislation should be eliminated. They are inequitable. They penalize some families and not others. Furthermore, offsets for life insurance paid for by an individual and offsets for 401Ks have no counterpart in the tort system. Certain rights under the tort system were taken away from us by the "Airline Bailout" bill. Ken Feinberg himself has stated that the statute "stacks the deck" against litigating. It is completely unjust that we should be deprived of our full constitutional rights as potential litigants, and also be deprived of the full amount of our damages when forced to submit to the supposedly equitable alternative-the 'Victims Compensation Fund'.
