WASHINGTON - February 20, 2009 - Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter and Gov. Ed Rendell, along with
National Park Service officials and members of Families of Flight
93, are planning to sign a letter of commitment Friday morning in
Somerset, Pa. A draft of the letter was obtained by The Associated
Press.
It outlines a timeline to complete the memorial, and says ground
breaking will take place in November.
A major hurdle was recently overcome with the owner of a key
parcel of land at the crash site agreeing to sell it.
The plane was traveling from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco when
it was diverted by hijackers.
