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 5:50 PM Victims comp fund Dear Mr. Zwick: The deduction of proceeds from "collateral sources" (life insurance, pensions) from the total compensation amount from the Fund clearly penalizes those who have acted responsibly and planned ahead. Yet there are constant reminders from government reports and the media that Americans are not saving enough for their future and need to save more. To "penalize the planners" may have a substantial and perhaps undesired effect on the future personal saving habits of Americans. I feel that payments from privately purchased life insurance policies or collateral payments from pension sources should not be a consideration in the calculation of government compensation. Thank you for the opportunity to voice my opinions.
