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, January 22, 2002 10:19 AM Response to the Compensation of Victims Sirs: Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the Compensation Fund. I find the amount being compensated to victims to be appalling. To compensate an average of $1.6M per victim (tax-free) boggles my mind. Given the sacrifices that have been made by American over the past 225 years, to decide to compensate the families of these victims is not consistent. What about soldiers who have died in wars, victims in Oklahoma City, those who have been victims of racial injustice, etc..? I agree that there needs to be some compensation for those in need, but that should occur only in cases of need and ONLY when dependents are involved. Are non-dependents eligible for compensation, including parents, siblings, etc? What claim should they have to compensation other than memorial expenses? This is a bad program. Given the federal expenditures spent in avenging the deaths, the costs incurred in rebuilding and the other sources of victim help which have occurred thru charitable causes, this is an additional cost that is unnecessary. Thank you for your ear.
