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, December 04, 2001 9:05 PM (no subject) Dear Mr. Zwick, I am distressed to learn that the Department of Justice is receiving recommendations to withhold funds from families of gay and lesbian victims of the September 11 disasters. Just as the terrorists who caused the deaths of thousands of Americans of all faiths and ethnic backgrounds made no distinctions among their victims, so should relief funds be distributed to all familes without discrimination. The loss of a loved one is no less painful to a lesbian woman or gay man than to anyone else suffering such a loss; the support of our government and its citizens should be no less generous to the survivors of any of the victims of these tragic attacks. I urge you to treat all families alike, to treat families of gay and lesbian victims as any others. Sincerely, Individual Comment Vernon, CT September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2001-12-04 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
