Washington ( CNN ) It 's been more than a decade since the 9/11 report was released , and the leader behind the effort is pushing President Barack Obama to hand over the final 28 pages to the American public . Those redacted pages from the congressional investigation into the attacks specifically focus on the role of foreign governments in the al Qaeda plot . `` They primarily deal with who financed 9/11 , and they point a strong finger at Saudi Arabia , '' former Democratic Sen. Bob Graham of Florida told CNN 's Michael Smercornish over the weekend . He co-chaired the panel that released the report in 2002 . Graham , along with Rep. Walter Jones ( R-North Carolina ) and Stephen Lynch ( D-Massachusetts ) will hold a news conference Wednesday asking Obama to declassify those remaining pages of the 832-page 9/11 report . In the months after 9/11 , the House and the Senate convened joint hearings and produced the massive report . But the 28 pages were classified by then-President George W. Bush . The government feared releasing them `` could adversely affect ongoing counterterrorism efforts , '' according to a letter from the Senate Intelligence Committee . Terry Strada , whose husband died in the September 11 , 2001 , terrorist attacks , said 9/11 families like hers have been pushing for the release for 13 years . The families say Obama personally promised he would release those redacted pages -- but it has n't happened . `` They are protecting the Saudi regime over protecting the American people , '' Strada told Smerconish . `` And that is the travesty . '' Bill Doyle 's son was working in the World Trade Center on the day of the attacks and was among the nearly 3,000 killed . `` If these pages were to be released , we could hold them accountable -- the people that financed 9/11 , '' Doyle told CNN .
The pages focus on the role of foreign governments in the plot . `` They point a strong finger at Saudi Arabia , '' says Bob Graham .
