their federal unemployment boost of $300 a week. that's not all. other unemployment benefits are also ending for freelance and part-time workers. there are jobs to be found, just not as many as the biden administration had hoped to see added in the august jobs report. the outbreak is surging again, while unemployment ticks down. the jobs that are available aren't necessarily matching up with the people who remain unemployed. >> we're still in a pandemic. the idea of being close to hundreds of strangers a day even while being vaccinated, that's not something that appeals to me in any way. >> reporter: the president is counting on his $3.5 trillion spending plan to rebuild the economy and get more americans back to work. >> it's about investing in america's future. >> reporter: but that won't happen if a single democrat defects. and west virginia's senator joe manchin says that he's not looking like a lock, however,

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm jericka duncan in new york. thanks for staying with us. saturday will be a grim milestone in our nation's history. it will be 20 years since the terrorist attacks on 9/11. nearly 3,000 people died that day. and the families of some of the victims hope president biden's new executive order will answer some lingering questions about the possible role of saudi arabia. on friday president biden directed the justice department to review, declassify and release government documents related to the attacks. it's something the families have been demanding for years. katherine herridge has that

story. >> reporter: brand eagleson was 15 years old when his father bruce was killed in the world trade center south tower. >> that's my dad. >> reporter: eagleson is now leading a group of 9/11 families battling their own government to release still secret fbi files from the case. >> it's a ten-year long investigation that specifically investigated the role that the kingdom of saudi arabia played in supporting the hijackers. >> reporter: the case code named operation encore centered on the two hijackers that lived in san diego and who assisted them. >> is that the first in san diego? >> this is it here. >> reporter: danny gonzalez was an fbi agent who worked on operation encore. he showed us the neighborhood the hijackers lived in. this is his first television interview about the case. >> it's 19 hijackers cannot commit 3,000 mass murders by themselves. >> reporter: based on what you found, do you believe there was a domestic support network for the hijackers? >> obviously.

>> reporter: no question? >> i can't comment on it, but you don't have to be an fbi agent with 26 years of experience to figure that out. >> reporter: gonzalez says the two hijackers hasmi and kaladar were helped by a number of saudis by yumi. he randomly ran into the two hijackers at a restaurant in los angeles and urged them to move to san diego. >> he lived in this apartment complex. >> reporter: there he helped them find an apartment and open a bank account. the two hijackers even started flight school nearby. >> i can't sit on the side lines when i know the truth. >> reporter: gonzalez says he's under fbi orders not to reveal certain classified information about operation encore, as is another former agent ken williams, who wrote a memo before 9/11, warning potential terrorists were taking flight lessons in arizona. both men are now working for the families. >> the evidence is there. i've seen it.

but i can't get into specifics because of protective order. >> reporter: the 9/11 families are suing saudi arabia for money. the saudis deny official involvement. and the 9/11 commission report found no connection. operation encore started two years after the team's report. what would the public learn? >> a lot, a lot. >> reporter: would it change our understanding of 9/11? >> sure, yes. >> reporter: successive presidents have kept it secret citing security. they say the executive order is a critical first step, but he remains skeptical. two decades after the attacks, eagleson wants his daughter to know the secrets of 9/11. >> your grandpa was a hero in the world trade center. >> reporter: and who killed her grandfather. katherine herridge, cbs news, washington. many of the images of that day are burned into our collective memory, and perhaps the most famous was the photo

that came to be called "the fallen man." john dickerson spoke to the photographer. >> reporter: after almost six decades as a photographer, richard drew has learned a basic rule. >> that you can be two hours early, but you can't be a 60th of a second late. in other words, if you're not there when it happens, you can't take a picture of it. >> reporter: drew, who has worked for the associated press for the past 51 years, was there in time to capture frank sinatra escorting jackie owe nasa i. muhammad ali with the knock-out punch. and ross perot in a way that so captured the pepper pod billionaire it helped win a pulitzer prize. but in september 11, 2001, when he made one of the most searing pictures of that day, he was not at the world trade center at 8:46 or 9:03 when the planes hit the towers.

he had been on assignment at a maternity fashion show in mid town when his office called. >> the planes at the world trade center. planes at the world trade center. >> reporter: he dove into the subway and emerged at the southern tip of manhattan. when did you start making pictures? >> when i came out of the subway. >> reporter: what goes through your mind? >> you just do your job. all of your senses are heightened. >> reporter: on the other hand, you have to basically shut something down in order to do your work. >> you do. you have to pretend it's not there. you just do your thing. >> reporter: richard drew has been doing his thing since age 19 when growing up in a suburb of los angeles called temple city he bought a police scanner. >> i would listen to the police and go chase a car accident or a fire or something. >> reporter: if he wasn't chasing breaking news, he learned to put himself near where news might break. >> we can start to work together. we are a great country. >> reporter: on june 5th, 1968, he decided to see presidential

candidate robert f. kennedy speak at the ambassador hotel in los angeles. >> the office didn't know i was there. i just assigned myself to go to this job. >> reporter: drew went into the kitchen looking for a glass of water. robert kennedy was there, too. so was a gunman. as the 42-year-old junior senator lay on the ground, drew climbed on a table photographing the chaos. kennedy's wife approached one the other photographers. >> i also have a picture of ethyl, please don't take pictures, don't photograph it. >> reporter: what did you think when she said, don't take the picture? >> that was her choice, not mine. >> reporter: what's that? >> my job is to record history. every day. >> reporter: what happens if you mess with that rule? >> you're not a journalist. you're a person with a camera. >> reporter: what's the difference between a flphotogra and just a picture? >> whether you're going to want to look at it. >> reporter: or in the case of

his most famous photograph, whether you're going to want to look away. a warning, some of you may not want to see the next photograph. when you made the falling man picture, did you know that you had done something extraordinary? >> i didn't take the picture. the camera took the picture of the falling man. and when these people were falling, i would then put my finger on the trigger of the camera and i'd hold the camera up and follow them going down. the camera would open and close and take the pictures as they were going down. i have i think eight or nine frames of this gentleman falling, and the camera just happened to cycle in that time when he was completely vertical. if i didn't see that picture really until i got back to the office and started looking at my stuff on my laptop. i didn't see it. >> reporter: were you scared when you were making pictures on the day you were at the world trade center? >> not really because it's interesting that this camera is a filter for me. i didn't know that the building, the first building had collapsed because i was -- i'm looking at

it through a telephoto lens and i'm only seeing a piece of whatever is going on. >> reporter: drew's image which came to be known as the falling man, appeared in a number of newspapers the next day. many people founded lonesome vision too shocking. one high-profile viewer was mesmerized by its deeply human pull. >> there's not a shot a lot of people would want to hang on their wall. >> reporter: five years ago sir elton john told anthony mason he had to purchase the picture for his collection. >> i had that photo. >> reporter: why did you want it? >> because, again, it's the most beautiful image of something so tragic. it's probably one of the most perfect photos ever taken. >> reporter: 20 years after the attack it captures, perhaps more than any other picture, the horror of that day. >> i'll show it to somebody and they'll say, oh, the falling man. on my phone -- oh, i don't want to see that.

>> reporter: why do you think they have that reaction? >> because they can identify with it. they can identify, that could be me. >> repr: when you look at the pictures you made from that period today, what do you think? >> i think that i would do it the same. i wouldn't change anything because, like i said before, it's my job to go to record history. >> reporter: a picture stops a moment in time. it captured a moment in time. >> and hopefully i can stop a reader for that moment in time and catch their attention. that's what it's really about. >> reporter: is it about transporting them back to that moment? >> it's to show them what happened in that moment in time. if they weren't there to see, i have that privilege and i can do that. >> reporter: and the reader can then come to their own conclusion. >> they can come to their own conclusion about the falling man also, that's what that's about. >> reporter: the identity of the falling man has never been determined, though journalists have found two possibilities. >> there's a jonathan briely. over here is alberto hernandez. only one name apart. >> reporter: but drew was able to help identify another victim

on that day. >> i can't remember how many actual people i photographed, but it wasn't just one or two people. a gentleman called the a.p. and said that he knew what his fiancee was wearing that day, and they had not recovered her body or anything. and he was wondering if he could look at my photographs at the a.p. i actually sat with him on my laptop and we looked at it frame by frame of the people falling from the building and he saw it. and he said, yeah, that's her. and that was it. >> reporter: for a month after the attack, drew photographed the aftermath. >> and my cell phone rang. and it was my daughter and she says, dad, i just want to tell you that i love you. and to this day she calls me on september 11 no matter where i am to say, dad, i love you. because i might not have survived. >> reporter: 20 years of phone calls that in an instant
