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, December 21, 2001 10:44 AM Complaint from Victim's Family As the brother-in-law of a WTC victim who had the forsight to purchase additional life insurance out of his own pocket to protect his family, I see it as the ultimate insult that his wife and two surviving children will now be penalized by his actions, as their government award will be reduced by about 80% due to the fact that he was insured. Never mind the fact that his total insurance benefit only represents what he was on track to earn himself within the next 5-10 years, and now it must last his family for 30 or more years. Needless to say, those victims from high wage earning families with the most robust insurance coverage are the ones who will be most penalized by the "collateral offset" policy, and, no surprise, they are the ones most able to initiate and sustain aggressive, high profile class action lawsuits against those parties, among others, who instructed them to "return to your desks, Tower 2 is secure, there is no need to evacuate". I am amazed and crestfallen that the US government made the conscious decision to open the floodgates to this type of long-term litigation.
