Observation

The Commission chair states the FBI represented that nothing was being withheld.

Interpretation

If later FBI products contain material the Commission never saw, that is a documented process failure. Motive (incompetence vs concealment) is not established by this quote.

Source text

Tom Kean, Commission chairman, reacted to later reporting that FBI had not shown the Commission all Bayoumi-related material. This is a statement about the Commission's access, supporting H009 as a process hypothesis.

It is not independent proof of the withheld content — the content is the FBI documents themselves (EVD-009–013).
