NY Times: Administration Faces Supoenas From 9/11 Panel

MADISON, N.J., Oct. 25 — The chairman of the federal commission
investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks said that the White
House was continuing to withhold several highly classified intelligence
documents from the panel and that he was prepared to subpoena the documents if
they were not turned over within weeks.

The chairman, Thomas H. Kean, the former Republican governor of New
Jersey, also said in an interview that he believed the bipartisan 10-member
commission would soon be forced to issue subpoenas to other executive
branch agencies because of continuing delays by the Bush administration
in providing documents and other evidence needed by the panel.
