Members Ask for Hearings on Withheld 9/11 Information

Reps. Waxman and Maloney ask Chairman Davis for hearings on whether the Administration misused the classification process to withhold official 9/11 Commission staff findings detailing how federal aviation officials received multiple intelligence reports warning of airline hijackings and suicide attacks before September 11. The members also ask that the hearing address the veracity of statements, briefings, and testimony by then–National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice regarding this issue.
