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 23, 2002 9:51 AM Compensate equally Mr Zwick: I have recently learned that you plan to descriminate against gay and lesbian victims of the 9/11 attacks. You state that you would not compensate the surviving partners of gay victims if the state in which they lived at the time of their death currently practices discrimination against them by not recognising their partnership. Does that mean that if a victim lived in NJ where descrimination is not legal their surviving partner would be compensated but if they lived across the river in Yonkers NY where descrimination is legal they would not be compensated? What if the victim lived a few miles south in NYC where descrimination is illegal under city law but legal under state law? You will have created a monstrous and fundamentally unfair system that will be mired in controversy and court challenges. I urge you to compensate the families of all victims fairly and equally. There is no other just and moral solution.
