Occurrences

25 years after the 9/11 attacks, this Committee is re-examining the Commission’s Final Report to inform our decision making about our national security policy priorities today. We have three primary objectives as we conduct our review: First, how effective were the 9/11 Commission’s reforms on our nation’s intelligence enterprise and what areas require further attention. Second, how has the threat landscape evolved over the last 25 years. Last but certainly not least, what recommendations can we offer to address new and emerging threats that undermine the safety and security of the American people.

In his opening statement, Crawford committed the House Intelligence Committee to reviewing the 9/11 Commission recommendations, evaluating past reforms and current threats, and developing recommendations for emerging national security challenges.

Evidence

The committee said Chairman Rick Crawford and 9/11 Review Co-Chair Elise Stefanik led a bipartisan Pentagon 9/11 Memorial visit as part of the year-long bipartisan review. The same release says the review will evaluate intelligence-related 9/11 Commission recommendations, identify gaps, and inform a report with actionable recommendations before the 25th anniversary.

Within the 30-day lookback, Crawford was still actively leading committee work tied to the year-long 9/11 review, but the final recommendations were still forthcoming.

The committee reported that Crawford and Stefanik opened a full committee hearing with experts on progress made on the intelligence-related recommendations in the 9/11 Commission Report and possible gaps. Crawford’s prepared remarks listed three review objectives: effectiveness of reforms, the evolved threat landscape, and recommendations for new and emerging threats.

This is strong official evidence that Crawford’s committee had begun the promised review and assessment work, including the claim’s stated recommendation topics.

The committee said it held a closed briefing with the FBI Counterterrorism Division as part of the bipartisan review, covering recent U.S. terrorist attacks, threat trends, and how detection and deterrence have evolved since September 11, 2001.

The FBI briefing shows concrete oversight activity assessing the evolving threat landscape under the 9/11 review, short of final recommendations.

The committee said it held a closed CIA briefing as part of the bipartisan review of 9/11 Commission intelligence recommendations. The briefing updated members on the intelligence community’s counterterrorism mission and current threat landscape, with Stefanik and Gottheimer leading the session.

This supports partial fulfillment through agency briefings on counterterrorism and post-9/11 lessons, but not completion of the promised recommendations.

The committee said HPSCI and Homeland Security held a closed briefing with NCTC, FBI, DIA, and DHS leaders to assess the current counterterrorism mission, how post-9/11 intelligence reforms are working, and where improvements are needed.

This is concrete review work across intelligence and homeland security agencies, consistent with the pledge’s assessment component.

The committee announced that Crawford and Ranking Member Jim Himes established a bipartisan HPSCI review of the 9/11 Commission Report recommendations. It said the review would hold public and closed events, hearings, and briefings to inform a findings report with actionable recommendations before the 25th anniversary.

This establishes the promise was formally launched, with a future report and recommendations planned; as of July 10, 2026, later evidence shows work underway but not final completion.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Crawford, as House Intelligence Committee chair, formally launched and led a bipartisan review of the 9/11 Commission intelligence recommendations during the same federal term. The evidence shows hearings, closed briefings, agency consultations, and stated review objectives covering intelligence reforms, threat evolution, and gaps. However, the promised final report or actionable recommendations had not yet been issued as of July 10, 2026, so the full outcome was not delivered.
