Subject: RE: 9-11 Commission CONR/1FF Trip (FOUO)

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

Hi, Miles. This is our lucky week!

Reference the team's trip to CONR/1FF next week, as below, kindly forward thru Dan/Steve a formal
briefing request outlining your need for the ROCC/CONR/IFF to FAA and to NEADS/CMOC/NORAD/SPACECOM
comms path briefings and ROCC orientation. Like document requests, we consider briefing requests as
separate from standing interview requests -- and we'd like to keep formal track of them.

Also, please be advised that we cannot have "open-ended" interviews for Gen. Arnold, Gen McKinley, .-=>*
and Col Scott. Our procedures, as previously discussed between Stew Aly and Dan Marcus, allow for a 3-hour I/.
interview at one sitting/day during normal duty hours. If you need more than 3 hours, the follow-up interview P*
will have to be scheduled for another day - or another trip, if that is possible. Understand that you have W
much work to accomplish at CONR/1FF, but would appreciate your adherence to these procedures. If you
have any questions, Stew or I would be happy to discuss with you. Regards. Pat

> McKinley, Colonel Scott, the DO and FO and Intel Officer(on 9/11), and
> Major Arias. We also need to be briefed/oriented by the person most
> knowledgeable of the comms paths into and out of the ROCC/CONR/1FF to
> FAA at any level and to NEADS and CMOC/NORAD/SPACECOM. That
> requirement includes chat circuits and may entail an interview with
> the person who integrated the real world entries attributed to the
> 84th RADES into what appears to be the exercise chat log for 9/11. We
> will need a detailed understanding of the ROCC layout on 9/ll~who sat
> where, how the floor was tied to the Battle Cab, which phone lines,
> including hot lines, were tied to which desks, and how the exercise
> was/was not a part of floor operations that day.
>
> Second, we will arrive at various times on Monday, the 2d, and should
> not be tied to any interviews that day. We need to walk and
> understand the terrain first. John Azzarello, John Farmer and Geoff
> Brown will be arriving from New Jersey. Kevin Shaeffer and I will
> arrive from DC. We do have the capability to split into two teams, if
> necessary, but prefer not to on this trip. The practical requirement
> of a split will be the necessity for the presence of a 2d lawyer, and
> an additional room. Concerning lawyers, I believe Mike Chiaparras is
> coming down from DoD. At NEADS he and Lt Col Davies handled the split
> sessions and that seemed to work well.
>
> Third, we will be FEDEXing packages and Lisa/Laura can coordinate
> that. The packages will require subsequent classified storage
> throughout our visit. If possible we would also like internet access
> for two laptops so that we can access our website.
>
> Fourth, the General Arnold, General McKinley, and Colonel Scott
> interviews should be open ended. While the interviews won't go as
> long as the key NEADS interviews, the Commission Staff must complete
> necessary work on site on this trip.
>
> That should get the ball rolling. I will be at the hearing much of
> the day, as will Lisa. If you have specific questions today, or there
> are show stoppers, please contact John Farmer, the Team Leader. He
> may be reached at 212-264 2627.

> Surely, Tyndall will be warmer than either Rome or DC!!
