Subject: ABC News Network Coverage

Continuing coverage from the late Peter Jennings and colleagues. Coverage centers around the President and his location/safety during this segment.

Portion of Pool Report from ABC's Anne Compton with Peter Jennings beginning about 13 minutes into the segment:

"Peter it has been a frightening couple of hours for President Bush"...

"The White House was unable to tell us where we were headed or how long it would take"...

"We were high enough so that the Air Force was able to catch some television signals"...

"I thought the President not only looked grim but very solemn, and his eyes looked very red"...

Anne Compton: "Peter we are leaving"
Peter Jennings: "Where are you going Annie?"
Anne Compton: "Peter, I have no idea"

Incredible coverage once again on an infamous day. I continue to find it nothing short of pathetic and sad that individuals wish to use their freedom of speech to speculate that some grand Government conspiracy was in effect on this day. The simple fact is that many things were caught in time in the past to prevent tragedies - this time we were not as fortunate.

Subject: Major Giuliani Got Warning of Twins Towers' Collapse

Interesting to note that at about 19:51 into the video Rudy Giuliani says "...we were told that the World Trade Center was gonna collapse and it did collapse..."

Foreknowledge of collapse??

"Peter it has been a frightening couple of hours for President Bush . . . "
