Saudi Foreign Minister Meets Bush Story aired: Tuesday, July 29, 2003
The White House said this morning that it will not declassify information contained in last week's congressional report on the September 11th attacks. That decision came just hours before a meeting between President George W. Bush and the Saudi foreign minister.
Twenty-eight pages left blank in the congressional report had reportedly suggested that people connected to the Saudi government gave money to the hijackers. Saudi officials, furious about those accusations, have been asking for those sections to be made public.
