On Monday, March 31, 2003, the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, also known as the 9/11 Commission, held its first hearings, at the U.S. Customs House in lower Manhattan. That same day, in the same building, a grassroots watchdog group known as 9/11 Citizens Watch held a press conference.
I spoke at that press conference, talking about the extensive work being done by numerous independent researchers and drawing attention to Paul Thompson's "Complete 9/11 Timeline". I had printed out and bound several copies; it was roughly 100-150 pages at that time and I handed out copies to various reporters in attendance.
