Facing a subpoena, New York City's administration has agreed to give the federal commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks unrestricted access to audio tapes of 911 emergency phone calls -- as long as the commission comes to the city to listen.
The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States will be allowed to hear the tapes at city offices seven days a week between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m., but it will not be able to keep its own copies.
The commission will also have access to full transcripts at the city offices and will be allowed to take unlimited notes, as well as quote callers in future reports upon receiving permission from the person or family members. The city agreed to send copies of redacted tapes and transcripts to the commission, and said it would respond to all outstanding requests by Dec. 31. article
That's the right thing to do. We won't talk about the White House's response to similar subpoena.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
