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, November 08, 2001 3:22 PM Operation of fund Just wanted to briefly state my opinion on the matter: I understand the dilemma you must be in: on the one hand, you don't want to discourage charitable giving by reducing fund disbursements should victims or their families be compensated by other sources, but on the other hand taxpayers should be protected from double dipping. My personal opinion tends to the later. The idea is to compensate people; not enrich them. Perhaps some sort of compromise is possible: a contribution ceiling for each family can be determined based on factors such as the age of the victim, number of children he/she had, the victim's total worth, prior earnings, etc. If a private charity conferred enough funds to meet that family's ceiling, then the government need not allocate any additional monies to that family. If not, the government can step in and fill in the difference.
