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, November 07, 2001 12:04 PM a comment or two First of all, let me say that I think it's a very good idea to solicit comments on this very difficult topic. It is unprecedented and since there are no rules, having an open forum is a very reasonable approach. I plan on thinking about this some more but just want to say for now that: A formula should be developed to come up with what would be fair and reasonable for the survivors of the people who were killed and a separate formula for those who survived but who have lost their jobs and their homes and businesses. I think it is reasonable not to have to give out all the moneys that were collected for the 9/11 tragedy because it is very likely there will be further rounds of terrorism to come for which people will not be able to be so generous. I think it would be wise to consolidate all the charities (ex the fire and police) into one - possibly a Red Cross special fund because they are nationwide and that's probably what we'll need. I think the fire and police probably have sufficient funds to take care of their people and if not, can come to the consolidated fund later. I think that the federal government should be the provider of last resort because they need to spend whatever they can on protecting us and helping out in all the future crises. I hope this helps and will write again if I think of more ideas.
