The 9/11 Commission requested that all documentation and reports supplied to them be made available, through the National Archives, by January 9, 2009. We have learned that a significant amount of that information will, indeed, become available soon. http://www.911blogger.com/node/18996

Michael Kurtz, Assistant Archivist for Records Services was the next to testify concerning the initial release of some of the 9/11 Commission’s records in January 2009. In August 2004, the 9/11 Commission transferred custody of 570 cubic feet of textual records to NARA with the expectation that the materials would be made publicly available, to the fullest extent possible, in January 2009.
Because some of the records contain current intelligence, highly classified information and sensitive privacy information, NARA decided to prioritize the processing of segments of the collection. NARA focused on the declassification of Memoranda for the Record (MFR) that contains summaries or hundreds of interviews and briefings conducted by the Commission staff. NARA also began reviewing and processing the unclassified records created by the Commission that widely reflects its work (e.g., team files, front office files and staff files). These series total approximately 160 cubic feet. http://historycoalition.org/2008/11/26/electronic-...

National Archives To Open 9/11 Commission Textual Materials http://www.911blogger.com/node/19023
On January 14th at 9 AM EST, Memoranda for the Record (summaries of 709 interviews conducted by the Commission), series descriptions, and folder title lists will be available online (www.archives.gov). These records include information on the terrorists, past terrorist events, al Qaeda in general, and related subjects. The records also include information concerning the emergency responses to the attacks in New York City and Washington, DC.
The records that will open on January 14th represent 35% of the Commission’s archived textual records. Review and processing focused on the portion of the collection that contains unique documents created by the Commission and those that reveal the most about the scope of the investigation and the internal workings of the Commission and its staff. The arrangement of the records reflects the organization of the Commission with series consisting of front office files, team files, and files of individual staff members. Due to the collection’s volume and the large percentage of national security classified files, the National Archives staff was unable to process the entire collection by January 2009. The National Archives will continue to process materials.

3 Victims’ Families Ask Judge to Release Trove of Documents on 9/11 Attack
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/15/nyregion/15settl...
Saying that “the public interest in the aviation security failures on September 11th is beyond dispute,†lawyers for families of two passengers and a flight attendant who were killed in the 9/11 hijackings asked a federal judge on Wednesday to release a trove of secret documents that they said showed how those failures occurred.
“The public ought to know about the breakdowns in aviation security that allowed four commercial planes to become weapons of mass destruction,†the lawyers wrote to Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein of Federal District Court in Manhattan, who has overseen the wrongful-death and injury lawsuits filed after the attacks.
The documents, which the lawyers said number in the millions of pages, were obtained from airlines, security firms and other defendants that were sued in the attacks. In 2004, both sides agreed to a court order, which is standard in many large cases, that allowed the defendants to designate certain materials as confidential business information before turning them over to the plaintiffs.
