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. Saturday, February 02, 2002 8:34 AM Sept 11 fund distribution I've been quite shocked as to how much money has been allocated to the Sept 11th victims. I personally feel that the average of $1.6 M is way out of line and that taxpayers dollars shouldn't be used for this purpose. I don't see how you can pay the Sept 11th people a sum of money like this and then only pay US servicemen who have been killed the $250,000 value of their SGLI. Also, considering that some of the victims of Sept 11th were military families, how can you justify paying them $1.6M and then pay other servicemen killed in Afghanistan OR other wars only the value of their SGLI? To sum things up, I think the level of compensation bothers the average American who is struggling to save enough money to retire someday. Its even more bothersome knowing that the taxpayers are footing this bill and making the Sept 11th families wealthy. In conclusion, I'm not sure that the taxpayers owe the Sept 11th victims any compensation since past victims of accidents, etc... haven't been compensated. If we have to compensate them, we certainly shouldn't be giving them an affluent lifestyle and making it so they never have to work again. That is not right.
