WASHINGTON
June 30, 2004
Consistent with the President's clearly stated policy of support for the work of the
National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States ("Commission"), and as a
matter of comity between the legislative and executive branches, I am sending you an updated
index of documents made available to the Commission by the Executive Office of the President
("EOF"). This version supersedes the index I sent to you on February 23, 2004, and reflects
documents provided in response to the Commission's document requests to the EOF.
Please be advised that, to the best of my knowledge, the EOF has now completed the
reasonable steps necessary to find documents in its possession, custody, or control responsive to
the Commission's eight document requests. Additionally, the EOF forwarded the Commission's
eight document requests to the National Archives and Records Administration ("NARA") to find
the documents in NARA's possession, custody or control responsive to those document requests.
And, to the best of my knowledge, the EOF has made available to the Commission all such
responsive documents located by the EOF or by NARA. As you know, however, some
document requests were modified by communications - oral and written - with the Commission.
The EOF and the Executive Branch as a whole have provided the Commission with
unprecedented access to Executive Branch information, recognizing the unique and
extraordinary circumstances of the Commission's responsibility, assigned to it by Congress and
the President, of preparing a detailed report on the facts and circumstances of the attacks on
September 11, 2001. Since the Commission issued its first document request in May 2003, the
Executive Branch has made available to the Commission (in response to well over 500 separate
requests for information to the EOF and nearly 20 different departments and agencies):
• Approximately 2.5 million pages of documents;
• More than 1,000 audio cassette tapes and compact discs of interviews, radar data,
and other information;
• More than 900 current officials for private interviews and meetings, including the
President, Vice President, Chief of Staff, National Security Advisor, two Deputy
National Security Advisors, Homeland Security Advisor, Director of the Office of
Management and Budget, and several other Cabinet officials;
• Nearly 50 current officials for public hearings, including the National Security
Advisor, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland
Security, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Transportation, the Attorney
General, the Director of Central Intelligence, and the Director of the FBI; and
• More than 170 briefings, including at the head-of-agency level.
The Executive Branch dedicated tremendous resources to provide the Commission this
extraordinary and unprecedented access. By conservative estimate, several hundred individuals
in the Executive Branch -- many of whom are also responsible for helping fight the war on
terrorism — spent a substantial part of their time directly responding to the Commission's
requests for information. This is in addition to more than 900 current Executive Branch officials,
many also on the front lines of the war, who met with the Commission. Moreover, to ensure that
the Commission received the necessary cooperation from Executive Branch departments and
agencies, the Attorney General designated at the President's request a senior member of the
Department of Justice to serve as the primary liaison between the Executive Branch and the
Commission, and each department and agency designated an appropriate senior official to serve
as its principal point of contact for Commission matters.
The Executive Branch cooperated with the Commission as a matter of comity between
the legislative and executive branches and with due regard for the constitutional separation of
powers, reserving all legal authorities, privileges and objections that may apply. We look
forward to continuing to work with the Commission as it completes its work in a timely manner.
Sincerely,
lonheim
Associate Counsel to the President
