The ranking members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) and John D. "Jay" Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), also have inquired about the report, but have not written a letter asking for it to be turned over, aides said.
The FBI conducted a similar inquiry and has provided a copy of its report to congressional committees, aides said. The FBI has not disciplined any of its employees in connection with Sept. 11, officials said.
The scuffle over the CIA report could pose a problem for the CIA's new director, Porter J. Goss, who now is head of the agency he helped investigate when he was chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
Goss, a former Republican congressman from Florida, was a principal member of the joint congressional inquiry into Sept. 11 intelligence failures. The report was sharply critical of the CIA, and the request for an internal investigation of employee accountability was among the dozens of recommendations in that congressional probe.
