15In the New York Times November 4, 2001 report, immediately after the attack, the CIA dispatched a special team to Building 7 with no meaningful explanation as to why they were needed. The agency's New York station operated behind the false front of another organization which the New York Times did not identify at the request of the CIA. This may be because to identify the floor would confirm the fire started in the CIA's SCIF.
One of the most noteworthy tenants at Building 7 was Giuliani’s Office of Emergency Management on the 23rd floor. This emergency command center cost $15 million and was designed with independent air, water, food, communications and even special bullet proof windows specifically to manage a terrorist attack on the Twin Towers. On the day of the attack, Guiliani elected not to use this special command center bunker.

SEC. 310. <<NOTE: 40 USC 1101 note.>> DESIGNATION OF DANIEL PATRICK
MOYNIHAN
PLACE.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
[[Page 114 STAT. 2842]]
(1) during
the second half of the twentieth century, Senator
Daniel Patrick Moynihan promoted the
importance of architecture
and urban planning in the Nation's
Capital, particularly with
respect to the portion of
Pennsylvania Avenue between the White
House and the United States Capitol
(referred to in this
subsection as the ``Avenue'');
(2) Senator
Moynihan has stressed the unique significance of
the Avenue as conceived by Pierre
Charles L'Enfant to be the
``grand axis'' of the Nation's
Capital as well as a symbolic
representation of the separate yet
unified branches of the
United States Government;
(3) through
his service to the Ad Hoc Committee on Federal
Office Space (1961-1962), as a member
of the President's Council
on Pennsylvania Avenue (1962-1964),
and as vice-chairman of the
President's Temporary Commission on
Pennsylvania Avenue (1965-
1969), and in his various capacities
in the executive and
legislative branches, Senator
Moynihan has consistently and
creatively sought to fulfill
President Kennedy's recommendation
of June 1, 1962, that the Avenue not
become a ``solid phalanx of
public and private office buildings
which close down completely
at night and on weekends,'' but that
it be ``lively, friendly,
and inviting, as well as dignified
and impressive'';
(4)(A)
Senator Moynihan helped draft a Federal architectural
policy, known as the ``Guiding
Principles for Federal
Architecture,'' that recommends a
choice of designs that are
``efficient and economical'' and that
provide ``visual testimony
to the dignity, enterprise, vigor,
and stability'' of the United
States Government; and
(B) the
Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture further
state that the ``development of an
official style must be
avoided. Design must flow from the
architectural profession to
the Government, and not vice
versa.'';
(5) Senator
Moynihan has encouraged--
(A) the construction of new buildings along the
Avenue, such as the Ronald Reagan Building and
International Trade Center; and
(B) the establishment of an academic institution
along the Avenue, namely the Woodrow Wilson
International Center for Scholars, a living memorial to
President Wilson; and
(6) as
Senator Moynihan's service in the Senate concludes,
it is appropriate to commemorate his
legacy of public service
and his commitment to thoughtful
urban design in the Nation's
Capital.
(b) Designation.--The parcel of land located in the northwest
quadrant of Washington, District of Columbia, and described in
subsection (c) shall be known and designated as ``Daniel Patrick
Moynihan Place''.
(c) Boundaries.--The parcel of land described in this
subsection is
the portion of Woodrow Wilson Plaza (as designated by Public Law 103-284
(108 Stat. 1448)) that is bounded--
(1) on the
west by the eastern facade of the Ronald Reagan
Building and International Trade
Center;
(2) on the
east by the western facade of the Ariel Rios
Building;
[[Page 114 STAT. 2843]]
(3) on the
north by the southern edge of the sidewalk
abutting Pennsylvania Avenue; and
(4) on the
south by the line that extends west to the facade
of the Ronald Reagan Building and
International Trade Center,
from the point where the west facade
of the Ariel Rios Building
intersects the north end of the west
hemicycle of that building.
(d) References.--Any reference in a law, map, regulation,
document,
paper, or other record of the United States to the parcel of land
described in subsection (c) shall be deemed to be a reference to Daniel
Patrick Moynihan Place.
(e) Markers.--The Administrator of General Services shall
erect
appropriate gateways or other markers in Daniel Patrick Moynihan Place
so denoting that place.

SEC. 701. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ``Public Interest
Declassification
Act of 2000''.
SEC. 702. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) It is in
the national interest to establish an
effective, coordinated, and
cost-effective means by which
records on specific subjects of
extraordinary public interest
that do not undermine the national
security interests of the
United States may be collected,
retained, reviewed, and
disseminated to Congress,
policymakers in the executive branch,
and the public.
(2) Ensuring,
through such measures, public access to
information that does not require
continued protection to
maintain the national security
interests of the United States is
a key to striking the balance between
secrecy essential to
national security and the openness
that is central to the proper
functioning of the political
institutions of the United States.
SEC. 703. PUBLIC INTEREST DECLASSIFICATION BOARD.
(a) Establishment.--There is established within the executive
