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. Wednesday, November 07, 2001 7:17 PM my comments The definition of victims should definitely be defined in such a way that it includes the residents of neighborhoods near the WTC. My life savings, which I thought were fairly secure as the equity in my condominium, have been wiped out. While some say "the market will come back", that is by no means certain, and it assumes that people are in a position to simply wait until the market strengthens. Many people have lost their jobs as well, and cannot afford to stay. Nor can they rent out their homes - nobody wants to live here. They will be forced to sell at a huge loss. Please also give some thought to non-US citizens. Many people devastated by the WTC attacks are here on work visas. They are not eligible for disaster related unemployment insurance (although they pay premiums while they work, they are not eligible to collect benefits), and they are not eligible for FEMA (US citizens only).
