Remembering 9/11
The 威尼斯人娱乐场 safeguards many records related to the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, including those of the 9/11 Commission, the 9/11 Federal Aviation Administration records, and the records of the George W. Bush Presidential Library.
Most of us remember where we were and how life changed that day. As an agency with facilities in Washington, DC, New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and California, the immediacy of the events felt that much closer to our homes and workplaces.

9/11 Commission Records at the 威尼斯人娱乐场
The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, aka the 9/11 Commission, was an independent, bipartisan commission 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 final 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 威尼斯人娱乐场. As part of the Legislative Branch, the Commission鈥檚 records are not subject to the Freedom of Information Act.
Due to the collection鈥檚 volume and the large percentage of national security classified files, the 威尼斯人娱乐场 staff continues to process these materials.
