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. December 15, 2001 Fair Treatment for the families of the Victims of September 11th I am writing to ask you to ensure fair treatment for all surviving families of the tragedy of September 11th, including the children and families fo low-wage workers and gay and lesbian families. I have learned that under traditional rules, compensation is based on income, so that the survivors of a bond trader earning millions of dollars per year might receive thousands of times as much compensation as the survivors of a dishwasher in one of the restaurants destroyed. This is outrageous. Please dispense compensation in such a way that the families of low wage earners receive at least as much as wealthy families. Please also recognize the partners and families of gay and lesbian victims as legitimate family, deserving of as much compensation as people whose relationships are recognized and sanctioned officially. Fortunately, both the Red Cross and the State of new York have already announced that they will not discriminate against gay and lesbian families. The Department of Justice should do the same.
