RESOLUTION
Urging the president to release information regarding the September 11,
2001, terrorist attacks upon the United States.
Whereas President George W. Bush classified 28 pages of the Joint Inquiry into
Intelligence Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of
September 2001;
Whereas the contents of the redacted pages are necessary for a full public
understanding of the events and circumstances surrounding the September
11, 2001, attacks upon the United States;
Whereas the Executive Branch's decision to maintain the classified status of
these pages prevents the people of the United States from having access
to information about the involvement of certain foreign governments in
the terrorist attacks of September 2001; and
Whereas the people of the United States and the families of the victims of the
September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks deserve full and public disclosure
of the results of the Joint Inquiry: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives
that--
(1) the President should declassify the 28-page section of
the Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities Before
and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 2001; and
(2) the families of the victims and the people of the
United States deserve answers about the events and
circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001, attacks upon
the United States.
