Thank you Individual Comment -----Original Message----- From: Comments, VictimComp [mailto:VictimComp.Comments@usdoj.gov] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 8:49 AM Subject: Reply from Special Master Dear Sir or Madam: I write to thank you for your comments concerning the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 (the "Fund"). As you know, Congress passed the legislation that created the Fund and gave the Department of Justice, acting through a Special Master appointed by the Attorney General, the responsibility for drafting regulations that will govern how this important program operates. The Department and I are committed to creating a program that is an efficient, simple and fair method to compensate eligible individuals. Your comments are a crucial step in this process. They help to ensure that our decisions are well-informed and are based on the valuable input of those most affected. Your comments have been entered in the official record. I am grateful for the opportunity to consider your views. Sincerely, Kenneth R.
