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. Sunday, January 27, 2002 11:22 PM Comment on 9/11 victim compensation I have been thoroughly disgusted by the behavior of many of the victims' families. Congress has set a terrible precedent by providing these funds; many others deserve help too, but the government shouldn't be doing this for just one group of people, nomatter how horrible their losses (does Congress or the vocal victims remember there are such people as the 40 million with no medical insurance?). Instead of being grateful for the private generosity of the American people and being grateful they will be the beneficiaries of large life insurance policies or other assets that are to be deducted from the $1.6 million average government payments (YES, we DO understand that not everyone is getting that much and many of us think your charity payments should also be deducted from the government payments) so many of these family members, such as Mr. , have behaved like avaricious game-show contestants. When did they even grieve??? And, for siblings and parents of victims, who presumably were not dependents of those killed, to feel such entitlement is especially disgusting.
