Created by congressional legislation and President George W. Bush near the end of 2002, the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States is an independent bipartisan commission that was chartered to prepare a "full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks." This authoritative site provides biographical information about the members of the Commission, a frequently asked question section, and information about the dates and times of the various public hearings. Not surprisingly there is an extensive section of press releases and detailed statements from various staff members of the Commission regarding its ongoing work. The hearings section provides detailed information on upcoming and previously held hearings, along with archived broadcasts of each hearing and complete hearing transcripts. So far, the Commission has held nine public hearings, dealing with topics such as emergency preparedness, security and liberty, and counterterrorism policy.
