Finally, we would like any additional information your Government may be holding on
Zacarias Moussaoui that has not yet been provided to the United States Government.

The Commission requests that the information described above be provided as soon as it
is available, even though all requested information may not be provided at the same time,
through means of a "rolling" production. If your government holds information on this
matter, but wishes not to share it at this time, please let us know the reasons for such
withholding of information and provide us the opportunity to discuss such withholdings.

If you have any questions regarding this request, please contact the Commission's point

Sincerely,
