In Berger incident, conflicting versions presage months of political intrigue
WASHINGTON — The Sept. 11 commission had access to every document needed to complete its report even though former national-security adviser Sandy Berger improperly took some highly classified terrorism materials from the National Archives, commissioners said yesterday.

Thomas Kean, the commission chairman, said he and Vice Chairman Lee Hamilton were told by Bush administration officials about six months ago that Berger was the subject of a Justice Department investigation into removal of the documents.

The commission staff concluded that no document was withheld or lost, because of Berger's actions, that was deemed essential to completion of the panel's 567-page report, which was released Thursday, Kean said.

"We don't think the integrity of the report is affected," Hamilton said.

Kean said the commission has been assured that it was able to get copies of each document that apparently was lost. If those lost documents had written notations from former President Clinton or others, they would have been included in those copies, Kean said.
