ASHINGTON, July 8 — The leaders of a federal commission investigating the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, complained today that they had encountered "particularly serious" problems in obtaining materials from the Defense Department and lesser delays from some other government departments that could threaten the panel's work.

But Mr. Kean, a Republican, and the panel's co-chairman, former Representative Lee Hamilton of Indiana, a Democrat, did not particularly criticize the White House or President Bush, and they declined to use terms like "foot dragging" to describe the problems they had encountered, or to suggest any attempt at cover-ups.
