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. Tuesday, January 22, 2002 6:04 PM re compensation While I grieve for the families of the victims I feel that the families are acting very greedy. The victims of the bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City did not get nearly the amount of compensation from the government that the WTC victims are to receive. The victims of the first bombing of the WTC are still in court. We have to be careful not to set a precedent for the future. If there should be another terrorist attack are we willing to treat those victims in the same manner financially? The victims will also be receiving money and assistance from the various donations collected. The financial assistance they receive should be enough to help the families get on their feet and go on, not to support them for their entire life. As for the parents and brothers/sisters of the victims, were they being supported by the victims? And how much will the dishwasher or waitress receive as compensation? Also, I noticed that an estimated annual salary increase of 6% was used as a basis. My experience has been that in the past few years many companies gave salary increase of less than 3% if any at all. I think that the government compensation is more than adequate for the families. Thank you.
