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. Monday, November 05, 2001 6:03 PM Victims Fund Being as this fund was set up to avoid litigation against airlines and other entities, I believe the following should be considered for each case: If the intent of this fund is to prevent litigation then you will need to pay a large sum to the families. I would suggest researching amounts won by survivor's of airplane crashes and terrorist acts in the past five years. You could contact any member of the Products Liability division of Perkins Coie, LLC in Washington, DC or even in Seattle for this information. Everyone hurts after losing someone in their family. Everyone who lost someone lost them the same way. Everyone is enduring a loss committed with criminal intent. For these reasons I believe a base amount of compensation should be set. At least three million dollars for each victim should be put into a trust fund and/or annuity to be given to family members. Any good accutuary and accountant team could come up with a formula that would provide continued support for the family into the future. Also this could benefit children of the victims. Then look at other donations the family received. If the family received no other monies then they would be entitled to another amount in addition to the million dollars. However, I believe that many people have received funding from pensions, insurance policies, charities, etc. If monetary support has come from the victim's family that should not be included in determining further amounts. Thank you for your time.
