The Public Interest Declassification Board (PIDB) is pleased to share the rescheduled date for its Public Meeting. Originally planned for October 2025, the meeting was delayed by the federal government shutdown and will now be held on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The meeting will be hosted by the Senate Visitor Center in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC.
We welcome your attendance in person. The event will also be streamed live.
The PIDB Public Meeting will focus on the substantial body of classified records concerning the September 11th terrorist attacks that are approaching their 25-year mandatory declassification deadline, and the governmental measures needed to respond to the public’s call for their release.
At the Public Meeting, the Board welcomes the participation and engagement of many stakeholders who have long been advocates for transparency on the events surrounding 9/11. We look forward to remarks from U.S. Senators John Cornyn of Texas, Ron Wyden of Oregon, and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan.
