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. 1/15/2002 1:12:11 PM Eastern Standard Time Dear Mr. Zwick, I am a widow as of the result of the September 11th attack and that is why I am writing to you. After going to the information meeting that Mr. Feinberg held for the Cantor Fitzgerald families I came away a little discouraged. I know Mr. Feinberg has some control but I know there are others in the justice department that are helping set these guidelines up for the compensation amounts. There are 3 points I would like you and your colleages to consider. 1. Set a minimum amount that the families can receive. After insurance, pensions and chartiable donations there will be little left if any. 2. Extend the tables that calculate the compensation for people who made above $236,000 to at least $500,000. How can you expect a person to sign a legal document forgoing any type of legal action if they have no accurate idea of what they might end up with. 3. Make the awards and compensation consistent all the way up the chart. I'm sure that justice department is hesitant to provide these tables and make these rewards public because middle America will not understand why these people are getting this money from the government. I can just say that the people that worked is those building were not the average working person. They were in the tops of their fields and the countries economic growth and development depended on them. As well as the fact the airlines, security companies and our government let these people down. They should have been safe in their place of work and we should have seen this coming. Please don't take these accusations personally I know you are trying to do your job, I just hope you take my three points into consideration when you are finalizing the rules. Sincerely, Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-01-15 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
