Bush praises 'constructive' 9/11 report

US President George Bush praised as ”very constructive” the recommendations in the September 11 report, though his administration has reacted coolly toward a key proposal to establish a Cabinet-level national intelligence director.

Thomas Kean, Republican chairman of the independent commission that probed the attacks, and Lee Hamilton, Democratic vice chairman, formally handed Bush a copy of the independent commission’s report in a Rose Garden ceremony.
