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. January 15, 2002 Kenneth L. Zwick, Director Office of Management Programs Civil Division U.S. Department of Justice Main Building, Room 3140 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20530 Re: Comments on Interim Rule Dear Mr. Zwick: I was unable to access the e-mail address for comments "victimcomp.comments@usdoj.gov." 1. The interim rule fails to make provision for possible conflict arising out of disparate interests of various survivors of a deceased victim, where one survivor does not wish to accept the benefit offered by the Fund but intends to sue but another survivor desires to accept the benefit and does not intend to sue, where both survivors would qualify as "heirs" under state law. 2. The interim rule fails to make clear whether the Fund award is divisible between multiple survivors and whether, if it is divisible, how the division is to be made and whether one survivor's claim would preclude another survivor's determination not to claim but to sue (see comment 1). 3. The interim rule fails to make clear whether the Fund award is the property of the decedent and accessible by creditors of the decedent or whether the Fund award is the property of the survivors and therefore immune to claims of creditors of the decedent.
