September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 and Special
Master Kenneth Feinberg
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am writing to express my disappointment with certain comments apparently made by Special Master regarding the legal claims of survivors of the victims of this terrible tragedy. I will comment in a separate communication regarding the substantive changes that need to be made to the Regulations issued last Friday in order for them to be legally consistent with the Act.
Please note that my mother-in-law, , is one of the survivors. My father-in-law, , was killed by the terrorist operated plane that crashed into Tower 2. I am the family spokesperson on legal issues.
On Saturday December 22nd, I read certain comments attributed to with utter disgust and shock. Coming just days before Christmas, may have been misquoted. Perhaps his comments were taken out of context. If so, then he needs to explain that. If not, then he owes all of the survivors a sincere apology.
People are grieving and they are scared. comments hurt people personally. His comments also hurt the cause of thousands of people who may have no choice but to file lawsuits - since the Fund virtually guarantees them a recovery of $0.
I would like to hear from personally. Please forward this e-mail to him with my request for a reply.
Thank You,
Individual Comment
