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. Sunday, January 20, 2002 12:49 AM My concerns To whom it may concern, I unfortunately lost a friend in the disaster at the World Trade Center. Your proposed resolution to the families of the loved ones lost in this tragedy concerns me greatly. I strongly believe that an attempt to have an individual waive their legal rights constitutes denial of due process. Our great country is all about freedom and the fundamental right of due process. It is more disturbing that this waiver of rights is being offered when the people entitled to relief do not know what they are entitled to. While it may be difficult to have a uniform plan for a recovery, looking at only the last three years income is patently unfair. Such a plan fails to consider the wage expectancy of a younger individual had they been able to keep working. Thirdly, the scope of dependency is too narrow. I urge you to consider a broader scope of dependency by including those family members who were dependent on the ones we lost at the time of the tragedy. I thank you for allowing me to voice my opinion.
