We have met the generations test to stand for freedom against a tough challenge, and we have persevered. We are wiser, better, stronger. Today, as we remember the fallen, their families, the bravery of those who face saved countless lives on those dark days and those who are still fighting today, we stand united, dedicated to never forget, never give in, and never lose hope. May god surround and comfort those who lost so much of that day, and may he bless and protect our great nation. It is hard to believe it has been 15 years since 9 11. For many of us, we will never forget the memories of that day. For me, i had breakfast in the pentagon and left 20 minutes to before the plane hit. I remember getting back to my office on capitol hill and a policeman comes running through the halls saying, get out, get out, there is another one coming for us. And people streamed out into the streets not knowing what was happening, how many attacks there would be, or who might be affected. I also remem

And i just to the extent that you can say time and date and if you will, accountable individual who you think is the Decision Maker or the impediment, i would like that answer as succinctly as possible. Miss buller . In my case its very easy to pinpoint the time and the person. The passage of the act mandating the restrictive reporting was the impetus. The person was the general counsel. Basically, he has taken the opportunity to interpret the act to impede our access. Mr. Elkins . In my case, you know, i have two agencies that i oversee, the csb and Environmental Protection agency.

Today marks 15 years since the 9 11 attacks here in new york city, also in washington, d. C. , and shanksville, pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 americans died on that day. This morning we honor those who lost their lives and those who sacrificed their own lives to save so many others. Its hard to believe it was 15 years ago. Brian and i were in these chairs 15 years ago. Yeah, they were chairs then, not a couch. To be exact, 2,997. Its so good, for one thing, to see something downtown.
