US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand announced new bipartisan legislation, known as the Transparency for the Families of 9/11 Victims and Survivors Act of 2015 that would require President Obama to declassify and make publicly available the redacted 28 pages from the Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 2001.
