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. Wednesday, March 13, 2002 12:21 PM Proper benefits distribution Dear Sir/Madam: I'm writing in response to recent statements that the 911 fund will not be distributing monies to Gay and Lesbian partners of the deceased in cases where state law does not recognize domestic partnership. Although you are entitled to make choices as you see fit, your suggestion is incensing and disrespectful to the longterm partners/companions of those who perished. By saying that all types of partners (including alien's partners) will be recognized, except for gay and lesbian ones, you are making an implicit judgement about the worth of our relationships and the people involved. Remember that if (an openly gay man) had not helped to bring down flight 93, we might have had an even larger tragedy on our hands. Your actions dishonor his memory, and those of the countless dead Gay and Lesbian servicepeople, firefighters and average-folks who perished on 911. I urge you to reconsider your position.
