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. Tuesday, November 06, 2001 8:51 PM victims' fund payments I am against government payments to families of those killed in the World Trade Center disaster. Those families already are qualified for government payments in the form of Social Security and other such payments. Tragedies happen across this nation every day that leave families without breadwinners and money to pay their debts. That is just a part of life. The government does not rush in to help those in desperate need. Those associated with the WTC event are no different. The money you propose to give those select individuals belongs to the people of this country. We have worked and sacraficed to pay 'tribute' to a government with profligate spending habits. It already gives money to so-called artists and others who are deemed more worthy to have it than those who earned it. Why is the government liable? Was it negligent in causing the destruction of the buildings? Were the airlines negligent in being hijacked? Are the insurance companies lliable for a deliberate act of destruction? It seems the only ones who need to make restitution are the ones who deliberately caused the destruction. If any payments are made, make it from their funds -- not the money of the People. Donations of hundreds of millions of dollars have been given for this tragedy. Use that, and keep records so that the money is dispensed judiciously and equitably.
