Commission Investigating Pre-War Intelligence on Weapons Will Not Seek

Subpoena Power

WASHINGTON (AP) - The presidential commission investigating the intelligence agencies' mistaken pre-war assessments of weapons of mass destruction will not seek subpoena power, a spokesman says.
Meanwhile, the Republican chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee says he and other members are concerned that agency leaders have failed to hold anyone accountable for three years of blunders.

The inquiry commission's chairmen - former Sen. Chuck Robb, D-Va., and Republican Laurence Silberman, a retired federal appeals court judge - have decided they do not need subpoena power to require people to testify or provide information, said spokesman Larry McQuillan.

"At this point, they are satisfied that they can get all the cooperation they need," McQuillan said. "Both men have been assured personally by President Bush that every federal department and agency will cooperate."
