The leaders of the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks complained again yesterday that they still have not received all the sensitive documents they need from the Bush administration to properly do their job.

Despite "substantial progress," Thomas Kean, the chairman of the commission, and Lee Hamilton, the vice chairman, said they are "continuing to press for necessary access to some key items."

In a statement, Kean, the former governor of New Jersey, and Hamilton, a former Indiana congressman, said the White House "recently produced a large set of sensitive policy documents that the commission has been seeking" and has "agreed to brief all the commissioners of remaining issues regarding access to those documents."

"We will seek prompt resolution of remaining issues regarding access to these documents," they said. Kean and Hamilton also said the CIA and the Defense Department have "produced large numbers of important documents, but they have not completed production of the key policy documents."
