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.

Tuesday, November 06, 2001 7:15 AM VICTIMS RELIEF FUND To Whom It May Concern: First, in a nutshell the government let down the victims of the World Trade Center disaster. I believe the government spends almost $30 billion a year on the FBI and CIA combined and there is no doubt that those groups let these people down by not doing their jobs correctly. Consequently, the government, and that means us the people, owe those who were affected by the tragedy compensation. Just as we require other government to compensate victims, i.e. holocaust victims, we should expect the same from ourselves. No money should be deducted from the funds awarded the families of the victims. Furthermore, I know that I for one will never give a dime again to any charity if this is done. I gave money for the victims regardless of other monies they received and I would feel duped by my own government if they dared to decide not to give the money I selflessly gave to help out the victims. What I gave and collected at my theatre in Naples, Florida, was intended to go to all the victims not just some. I know that the amount I gave will not go to all the victims but in my heart that is where I wanted it to go if the amount could''ve been large It was a symbolic gesture but one which I do not want my government to mess around with. I think the government's lack of protection caused enough tragedy for these families and the country in general without compounding it with taking away from the victims moneies which individuals and organizations gave to them with an open hand and open heart. Sincerely,.
