Inadequacies of the Federal Victims' Compensation Program



Victim: &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp WTC&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp - DECEASED CASE NO: &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp
RELATIONSHIP: &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Proof provided upon request

NOTE: &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp is survived by her husband &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp , brother &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp , Mother &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp , and I her Father.
We are still grieving over her loss. It has been more than three months, and I am still living in the
horror of the days of September 11th.
The vision of her dismembered and partial remains lives on in my nightmares, my tears will not stop.
No one can restore her to us, the promise of her life, our future as a family has been destroyed.

We will not share her future, see her smile, or laughter, or enjoy the grandchildren that might have been.

Her partial remains were found on September 17th, the date of what was suppose to have been her first

wedding anniversary.



COMMENTS: The formula as I have seen it explained on Television and in reviewing the posted documents on

the WWW do not compensate adequately for the pain and suffering and loss sustained by her husband,

and the other family members.

The goal was to provide a mechanism to seek compensation in a time frame which would be considerably

less than the normal litigation route, but should not penalize the next of kin for choosing the shorter route.

Or placing the burden on the families to prove what the master had stated himself, that it is impossible

to play Solomon. To force the family members to go before a board and request a review of these

intangibles, would only defeat the purpose and goal of expediting these claims..

I voice this opinion as a father who is not the next of kin, but has a concern for the well being of

my son-in-law, and in having to deal with the eternal loss of our daughter, and his wife, and as a

family member who is still quick to tears. And who wishes to state his opinion.



ACTION: I respectfully submit that the formula should be changed to allow a more just compensation award.





If at all possible please acknowledge receipt of this submission, either to the email address or to the voice/fax number.
