Kean and Vice Chairman Lee H. Hamilton said in a joint statement to the House Armed Services Committee. The remarks came as part of the September 11 commission's continuing effort to persuade Congress to endorse the recommendations in the commission's 567-page final report, the most significant of which calls for the creation of the national intelligence director and center. www.washtimes.com /national/20040811-121644-7817r.htm   (473 words)
