Sunday, April 04, 2004
WASHINGTON — The commission probing the military and intelligence issues surrounding the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks will soon decide whether thousands of classified counterterrorism documents from the Clinton White House were unduly held back by President Bush's aides.

The Bush administration granted the federal panel access to the documents in question Friday after Bruce Lindsey (search), who was legal adviser to former President Clinton, said officials didn't turn over all of Clinton's records to the panel.
The commission's lawyers will begin reviewing the material Monday and should know by Tuesday if more documents should be released, panel commission spokesman Al Felzenberg said Friday.

"If the commission wants to go back and verify that some documents are duplicative or nonresponsive to their requests, then we are more than happy to work with the commission so that they can do so," McClellan said. Meanwhile, Kean said Sunday that some of its findings will surprise the public when they're released this summer. Kean also said he expects the commission's final report to be published before the November elections, possibly as early as July, even though the White House must clear it for intelligence problems.
