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, January 17, 2002 1:05 PM comments I am the mother of a victim &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp from the World Trade Center. Here are a few comments. I believe all vicitms from Sept 11 should be treated equally by the govt. Rumor has it (although perhaps incorrectly) that the airlines victims are receiving $2million for their pain and suffering, whereas the WTC victims would be receivng $250m I do not think the families of victims who were financially responsible should receive less from the govt. Specifically, life insurance proceeds , for which victims had to pay premiums, should not be deducted. In some cases, the life insurance deduction would result in virtually a $0 payment. Likewise, 401k funds should not be deducted. This was the victims own money! I have heard Mr. Feinberg speak that he cannot play Solomon. So I believe if you take a victims earnings potential and proceed on an actuarial basis, and account for dependents. it will be fair. While &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp did not have dependents, I believe that her beneficiaries should be compensated for the loss....in this case of their only child. Thank you.
