The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, also known as the 9/11 Commission, was set up in late 2002 "to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the" September 11, 2001 attacks including preparedness for and the immediate response to the attacks. The commission was also mandated to provide recommendations designed to guard against future attacks. Some have compared its important, and potentially controversial, role to that of the Warren Commission of 1963-1964. The Commission was composed of five Democrats and five Republicans. Its chairman was former New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean.
The members of the Commission were:
The Commission's Executive Director was Philip D. Zelikow, and the Deputy Executive Director was Christopher Kojm .
Past and present government officials who were called to testify include:
President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, former President Bill Clinton, and former Vice President Al Gore all gave private testimony. President Bush and Vice President Cheney insisted on testifying together, while Clinton and Gore met with the panel separately.
