I want to thank Senator Bob Graham of Florida for taking the national lead to declassify the 28 pages about 9/11, when so many Americans were killed. The information is critical to the freedom of America. Representatives Lynch, Massie, and myself have introduced H. Res. 14. We have over 54 colleagues in both parties who have joined us to say to President Obama: You have the authority--you don't even need Congress-- to declassify this information. You promised the 9/11 families that you would do this. Mr. President, keep your promise to the 9/11 families who are in so much pain. Keep your promise to the American people and let the American people know the truth about 9/11. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair reminds Members to address their remarks to the Chair. ____________________
