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. Friday, December 21, 2001 10:35 AM (no subject) I have to ask why the Federal government feels obligated to compensate the 911 victims? People die every day in this country from all sorts of things and the government is not expected to compensate their families. Why is this situation any different to the greiving families of family members lost to accidents, murder, illness, etc.? Not only do I disagree with any Federal payment using my tax dollars, but the amounts are outragious. No one needs insurance or compensation payments to last them for the rest of their life. The survivors could and should work sometime during their lifetime and many will remarry and bring large sums of unearned government give away money with them. People are responsible to provide their own life insurance for their families. Help to those in need is one thing, but giving many people more than a million dollars is stupid and unjustified in my opinion. When I die my family will have to support themselves and settle for whatever insurance and savings I provide on my own. The government will NOT provide any help to them.
