Dear Sir: Tragic as it is, I do not feel that the US taxpayer is
in no way responsible for the events of 9 11. If so, how and in
what manner? I feel these awards at our expense are nothing more
than a "bail out" for the insurance companys. The insurance
companies are in the business of insuring so let the taxpayers stand
aside and let them do their job. These "awards" set a very bad
president. We did not place any awards for the Oklahoma bomings,the USS
Cole, or at any other event in history of which I am aware. Where does
it end? My son is a policeman. If he is killed by a terrorist , do my
grandchildren receive 1.65 million dollars? How many people have to
be killed at one time for their relatives to receive awards? Are
one,two,two hundred lives any less precious than any others? I feel
the victim's relatives should receive only what they would be entitled
to if they were killed on the job and not one cent more, and not one
cent of taxpayer's money. Please don't do this to the taxpayer.
Respectfully,
