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, March 16, 2002 9:17 PM information on fund distribution Could you please tell me if it's true that partners of victims of the 9/11 terrorism will not get equal benefits from the fund if the partnership was homosexual? I just heard this from a source I usually consider very good, but this is hard to believe. Allegedly the justification was that if state law discriminates against gays, the the fund should follow suit. This makes no sense - the fund is not administrated by, funded by, or in any way connected to state government, and should be free to be handled BETTER than the states manage. Certainly those who died are just as dead, whether gay or straight, and their partners and loved ones are just as devestated! I hope you can reassure me that this is just another vile rumor and as wrong as most of them.
