(by Paul Sperry, NY Post) — Two congressmen lawmakers concerned about a government censoring of Saudi Arabia’s alleged role in the 9/11 attacks will hold a press conference this week with families of the victims to step up pressure on the White House to declassify the information.
Three months ago, Reps. Walter Jones (R-NC) and Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) introduced a resolution urging President Obama to follow through on his campaign promise to 9/11 families to release the censored section of a 2002 congressional report on the attacks.
Their Dec. 2 bill, which has attracted five co-sponsors, was referred to the House Intelligence Committee, where it languishes. Panel chair Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) decides whether it will move on to a vote.
Jones says they hope to attract at least 10 more co-sponsors to compel the committee to take up the measure. To that end, they’ve enlisted the help of the organization 9/11 Families United for Justice Against Terrorism. Some of its members will speak at Wednesday’s event on Capitol Hill. They include Sharon Premoli, who was pulled from the World Trade Center rubble.
Jones, who has not heard from the White House, said, “We realize this is going to be an ongoing effort over the next few months to build the number of members who join the resolution” along with co-sponsors that include Michael Grimm (R-NY).
“They’ve all read the [censored] 28 pages and they have joined and agree with the families that they should be made public,” he added. “The families have a right to the 28 pages and so do the American people.”
