Safer World
http://www.saferworld.org/site/c.luLVJaMQKpH/b.2015945/k.BE85/Home.htm
Show your concern and learn about how to prevent nuclear terrorism.
Act now for a safer world. NTI and Families of September 11 have joined forces to raise awareness about the threats from nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and materials so citizens can help reduce these threats. The 9/11 Commission recommended an all-out effort to secure weapons of mass destruction, but its final report card gave the U.S. government a "D" for its progress. We want to turn that “D” to an “A ". Click on the link below to learn how you can help.
9/11 Public Discourse Project
http://www.9-11pdp.org/
A public education campaign initiated by members of the 9/11 Commission.
Members of the 9/11 Commission initiated a nationwide public education campaign, titled 9/11 Public Discourse Project, to press for enactment of the panel's recommendations. The organization aims to fulfill the 9/11 Commission's original mandate of guarding against future terrorist attacks, while adhering strictly to the same bipartisan and independent principles that have guided it over the last 20 months. To learn more, visit the website link above.
The 9/11 Commission
http://www.9-11commission.gov/
The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the 9/11 Commission) was chartered to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, including preparedness for and the immediate response to the attacks. The Commission was also mandated to provide recommendations designed to guard against future attacks. It wrapped up its 20-month inquiry and officially closed on August 21, 2004. Its website was frozen on September 20, 2004, and is now a Federal record managed by the National Archives and Records Administration. Visit the site to find out more about Commission members, Commission guidelines, and to view archives of transcripts. A copy of the Commission's Final Report is also available on its website.
Family Steering Committee
http://www.911independentcommission.org
Though formally disbanded after three years of work toward making America more secure, the FSC is transitioning in order to address issues such as the release of the still embargoed 9/11 CIA and FAA reports; terrorist financing; immigration reform; the remaining recommendations of the 9/11 Commission; and other issues that continue to emerge. Although the FSC as a group will no longer exist, many of its members will continue to work individually and through other 9/11 related groups for these causes. FOS11 is proud of its Board members, Carie Lemack and Robin Wiener, who worked tirelessly as members of the FSC. FOS11 will remain a presence in Washington, working for policies that will address the safety and security of our members as well as the broader public.

Kean, Hamilton Send Letter to Patriot Act Conferees on Risk-Based Funding
November 1, 2005
Thomas H. Kean and Lee H. Hamilton sent a letter to Rep. Peter King, Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, and members of the conference committee on the USA PATRIOT and Terrorism Prevention Reauthorization Act, supporting the inclusion of bipartisan House-passed language on first-responder funding formulas in the final conference report. The letter notes that "[t]he 9/11 Commission recommended that homeland security assistance should be based strictly on an assessment of risks and vulnerabilities." The enactment into law of the House-passed language, the letter states, "would represent a significant step forward for national preparedness," in line with the Commission's recommendation.

August 4, 2004
Families of September 11 reiterates its call for the urgent, efficient and effective implementation of all of the 9/11 Commission’s recommendations listed in its final report, released in July 2004.

FOS11 Statement Regarding the 9/11 Commission Report
July 21, 2004
Families of September 11 believes that there are a number of agencies, organizations and people whose actions point to a history of passivity and negligence. To that end, while we appreciate that the Commission report will “shine a spotlight on these problems” and offer specific recommendations, we must urge the media and the American public not to reduce this discussion to whether 9/11 should have been prevented.
