Pelosi said in a letter to lawmakers that the commission would be modelled on a similar one convened after the Sept. 11, 2001 attack on Washington and New York.
Pelosi said the panel will also look at the “facts and causes relating to the preparedness and response of the United States Capitol Police and other federal, state, and local law enforcement in the National Capitol Region.”
