President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney will answer questions together and in private before the commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on April 29, the White House said on Wednesday.

They will meet at the White House with the five Republican and five Democratic members of the commission. Their appearance had been planned but a specific date had not been announced.

The two will not testify under oath.
