Summary
This document is page 42 of a Westlaw printout concerning 'In re: TERRORIST ATTACKS ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001.' It is a legal text discussing the Alien Tort Statute (ATS), customary international law regarding terrorism, and the Military Commissions Act of 2006. While the document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp (indicating it is part of a Congressional investigation production), the text itself focuses entirely on legal precedents regarding 9/11 and al-Qaeda liability; there is no direct mention of Jeffrey Epstein or his associates on this specific page.
