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, January 25, 2002 11:13 PM Dear Mr. Feinberg: I am writing to urge you to keep the current system in place for victims' compensation. I've been surprised at the protests from the families against a perceived unfairness of the distribution. Our country and our government has been placed in an unfortunate position that is unprecedented, and we simply can't be 'all things to all people'. Because of September 11, the airline industry is suffering, businesses and manufacturers are suffering, and people are losing and have lost jobs. All of these things must be considered when determining how much the government can afford to pay out. Unfortunately for the victims, the good of the country must be first and foremost. The victims have the option of declining the government's money in hopes of obtaining a bigger payout from the airlines. I believe in the current state of our country, this is more than fair.
