9/11 Commission Records at the National Archives
The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, aka the 9/11 kommission, was an independent, bipartisan kommission created by Congress to provide a "full and complete accounting" of the 9/11 attacks. The Commission operated from 2003 to 2004 and held hearings, conducted interviews, and issued a sista report.
When the 9/11 Commission closed on August 21, 2004, it transferred legal custody of its records (approximately 570 cubic feet of textual records alone) to the National Archives. As part of the Legislative Branch, the Commission’s records are not subject to the Freedom of data Act.
