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. Thursday, November 08, 2001 1:20 AM Victims Compensation Fund Comments When I read the article in the paper asking for public comments on the Victims Compensation Fund, I was outraged that the sanctimonious hypocritical people in Congress are concerned about the possibility that the victim's families might "Double Dip" in getting help. Since when have they been so concerned about "Double Dipping". These same people, in Congress, have been "Double Dipping" for as long as I can remember and long before that. How many of them take money from one branch of Government (Congress) and accept money from another branch of Government (Military Pensions, for instance). I was taught, when I went to school, the Constitution expressly FORBIDS this exact thing. The Congress is not the only branch doing this, I'm sure that there are other people that are doing the same thing. They should clean up their own "Double Dipping" before they worry about anyone else's actions. Now, as to the use of the fund. The money was donated for the use of the victims and their families and NOT for: expenses of the charities that are supposed to be disbursing the money but so far haven't done any disbursing of the money or, for other needs not connected to the attacks. Stop worrying so much about double dipping and see that those people are helped. While you're "discussing", those people are not getting any help.
