I have consulted with the designated representatives of the Clinton and Bush
Administrations. Neither representative, on behalf of the administrations or
institutional interests they represent, objects to your being interviewed by the
Staff of the Commission. Cheryl Mills, the designated representative of
President Clinton, expressed no objection to your appearing and discussing
matters that are or may be covered by an applicable privilege, including the
attorney-client privilege. She has conditioned such concurrence on an
understanding that you will be afforded access to any documents in the
possession of the Commission about which you are asked, as well as any
documents in our possession that you authored or in which you concurred,
In a separate conversation, I have assured you that any persons who will
participate in your interview or have access to any notes derivative of your
interview will hold the necessary TS/SCI/Codeword access and possess the
requisite "need to know."
Sincerely,
Daniel Marcus
General Counsel
