that is what we are told here let the truth be known the the 911 families dont what him there.
Members of the 9/11 community have prepared the following statement:
Six months ago the 9/11 community had great hopes that President Joe Biden would be the long lost
champion of those directly affected by this murderous attack on our nation, finally placing the values of
truth, justice, and accountability before the interests of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Biden the
campaigner, in an October 2020 letter, promised the 9/11 community that, if elected president, "I intend
to be a President for all Americans, and will hear all of their voices. The 9/11 Families are right to seek
full truth and accountability...I will direct my Attorney General to personally examine the merits of all
cases where the invocation of privilege is recommended, and to err on the side of disclosure in cases
where, as here, the events in question occurred two decades or longer ago."
We understand President Biden's desire to mark the solemn occasion of the 20th anniversary at Ground
Zero. However, we cannot in good faith, and with veneration to those lost, sick, and injured, welcome the
president to our hallowed grounds until he fulfills his commitment.
Since the conclusion of the 9/11 Commission in 2004 much investigative evidence has been uncovered
implicating Saudi government officials in supporting the attacks. Through multiple administrations, the
Department of Justice and the FBI have actively sought to keep this information secret and prevent the
American people from learning the full truth about the 9/11 attacks. Despite numerous requests by
Democratic and Republican members of Congress and hundreds of 9/11 family members imploring
previous and now the current administration to bring transparency to the matter, these efforts have been
rebuffed and the issue has remained inexplicably ignored.
As we approach the 20th anniversary of 9/11, and having been used as a political bargaining chip for two
decades, our patience has expired. We had great hope that President Biden, who campaigned on bringing
truth and trust back to the Oval Office, would value the lives and sacrifices of America's citizens over
diplomatic relations with a country accused of mass murder.
To be clear, the Biden administration still has a historic opportunity to fulfill his campaign promise and,
more important, finally give our families and the American people the truth they deserve about 9/11.
Twenty years later, there is simply no reason – unmerited claims of “national security” or otherwise – to
keep this information secret.
But if President Biden reneges on his commitment and sides with the Saudi government, we would be
compelled to publicly stand in objection to any participation by his administration in any memorial
ceremony of 9/11, given its continuation of polices that thwart Americans’ rights to hold accountable
those who, known evidence reveals, materially supported the 9/11 hijackers.
Accordingly, we implore President Biden to:
