context_page_description: The Federal Bureau of Investigation 9/11 Review Commission was formed by Congress in January 2014 to conduct a comprehensive review of the recommendations related to the FBI that were proposed by the original 9/11 Commission. The commission, which was publicly announced by Republican Congressman Frank Wolf of Virginia, consisted of three Congressionally appointed members supported by an executive director and staff.
  On March 26, 2014, the commission's members testified regarding their initial progress before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies.
  Following 14 months of research, interviews, briefings and field visits the commission issued an unclassified public version of its final report titled The FBI: Protecting the Homeland in the 21st Century on March 25, 2015. Its overarching conclusion was that while the FBI had established comprehensive structures to support its intelligence mission, there remained a significant gap between the articulated principles of its intelligence programs and their effectiveness in practice.
