Re: World Trade Center Disaster
Dear Honorable Representatives:
This office represents one of the victims of the United Flight 93.
I note that regulations were published by Special Master Kenneth Feinberg and the
Department of
Justice with regard to compensating victims of the World Trade Center disaster. I believe that the
regulations
are totally inadequate in that they place arbitrary limits on both economic and non-economic loss.
Additionally,
they establish predetermined, presumptive guidelines that will be utilized to make awards. In
essence this means
that the award has been predetermined without listening to any evidence whatsoever. I ask that
you contact
Kenneth L. Zwick, Director of the Office of Management Programs, Civil Division, at the United
States
Department of Justice and express your dissatisfaction with these regulations.
Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation.
Very truly yours,
Individual Comment
