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. Saturday, March 16, 2002 5:49 PM September 11th I read with great dismay that the survivors of the gay and lesbian heroes from the Sept. 11th terrorist attacks will not necessarily be in line to receive compensation from the fund set up to help survivors of these infamous acts. I find it unacceptable that some survivors will receive benefits because of the state laws that pertain to those heroes but that others will not be acknowledged through this compensation because of the lack of non-discrimin- ation laws in other states. Further, I find it appalling that fetuses will be granted full and unquestionable compensation while living and breathing survivors of gay and lesbian hero victims will not. This injustice must not stand! I demand that the federal government follow the lead of New York State when it comes to the distribution of compensation funds. I thought these terrorist attacks were supposed to bering everyone together. In reality, division is being created.
