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 1:00 PM victim compensation here are 2 scenarios: 1.- mr. jones dies in the attack. he was a stock broker and earned $10,000 a week. he lived in a 1 million dollar house on long island with his wife and 2 children. he owes $750,000 on his house and his wife doesn't work. do you tell them to use their savings and to sell their house and use the equity and charity to buy another house or rent an apartment or do you help them pay off their house and provide enough money for the kids to go to college. 2. mr. mercado worked in the kitchen of "Windows on the World" he earned $350/wk at that job and at his second job he earned $250/wk. his wife cleaned apartments to help make the ends meet and spent the rest of her time taking care of their 5 children. do you give them the same amount of money as the jones family, less money than the jones family or more money than the jones family? how can the charitable monies be distributed so that it is equitable for all involved but not unfair to large wage earners or small wage earners? i believe that the charity money as well as federal aid should be distributed based upon need rather than maintaining the lifestyle that the family was used to. but how do you distribute money to a family who lost someone who was not a wage earner but someone who was raising a family? how do you compensate a family who lost a child? how can you place a monetary value on that? i do not really have any suggestions. the reason i am writing is to say that it very difficult to figure this out, but there are people who need money right now just to survive and those people should be given priority over others. we must help those the most in need first....... don't wait for decisions. please help them now and deal with larger sums later. thank you Individual Comment Los Angeles September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2001-11-06 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
