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. Tuesday, January 22, 2002 6:38 PM comments on interim rule Dear Mr. Feinberg - I lost my brother, &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp , in the WTC attacks. I am urgently requesting you to reconsider that portion of the fund distribution plan which deducts collateral sources such as life insurance and pension/social security benefits from the amount awarded. My preference is for a straight amount for each person lost - regardless of age, sex, number of children, or other sources of income - this fairly compensates each for the true value of their loss - the person not the paycheck. My sister in law will be raising two small children without a father for the rest of their lives. To deduct for life insurance, pension, and other benefits my brother worked for is to doubly punish them for my brother's prudence. The purpose of the plan was to prevent lawsuits against the airline industry and others (the city of Boston, New York, the airports, the security companies, etc.) if the amount under the settlement is too low, there will be no incentive to settle and lawsuits will be the inevitable result. Please reconsider the 'collateral source' deductions! Thank you and God bless.
