9-11 COMMISSION EMAIL GUIDE

All staff members now have an official Commission email address. We encourage
everyone to begin using these addresses immediately, as staff announcements will be sent
exclusively via Commission email. If you would prefer to have your Commission email
forwarded to a secondary address, please contact Garth Wermter at gwermter@9-
1 lcommission.gov.

To access your Commission email:

1) 9-11 Commission email can be accessed from any location with Internet access
using an unclassified web browser.
2) Go to http://webmail.9-llcommission.gov. Do not type "www."
3) Click on "Webmail 3.1" in the upper left corner.
4) You will then be asked for your email and password. Your email is your entire
email address. Email addresses consist of your first initial and full last name,
followed by "@9-l lcommission.gov" (i.e. skaplan@9-l lcommission.gov'). Your
temporary password consists of your first and last initials, followed by the word
"pass" (i.e. skpass).
5) Please change your password as soon as you activate your account.

To change your password:

1) Go to the main webmail screen at http://webmail.9-l lcommission.gov.


2) Select the "Email Account Control Panel" icon.
3) Enter your username portion (e.g. skaplan) in the User Account field and "9-
1 lcommission.gov" in the Domain Name field.
4) Type in your current password in the Password field, and then click "Login."
5) On the following screen, select "Modify User" from the menu. Enter your
full name under "Real Name," and change your password by entering the new one
and then re-entering it under "Verify."
6) Leave everything else as is, and click "Modify User."
7) Once done, click "Log Out," and your password will be changed.

Other tips:

To communicate to the entire Commission staff, you may email staff® 9-


1 lcommission.gov.

In order to facilitate email communication between and among teams, we have


established "team" email addresses. For example, members of Team One can be
contacted by simply emailing teaml @9-l lcommission.gov. The same pattern applies to
the remaining eight teams.

Technical assistance may be obtained from Garth Wermter at gwermter@9-


llcornmission.gov or 434-242-5081.

Subject: Work already done

All, welcome.

As the several teams start their work it might be worthwhile to tell you about
work already done while on the Joint Inquiry Staff that our leadership is
working to obtain.

Using primarily the FBI PENTBOM spreadsheets on the hijackers I built


color-coded Excel spreadsheets/graphs that depict hijacker activity by month
since 1990, by week for the year 2001, and by day for the period Apr-Sep 2001.
Those files are on a CD at JIS and will migrate over here, hopefully, at an
appropriate time. They are largely unclassified, but must be handled as Law
Enforcement Sensitive. The compilation needs to be verified as you work with it
and is as accurate as the underlying FBI data.

In addition, at the TS Codeword C level I created a JIS Timeline 2.0 in


Powerpoint. That 80 or so page file is by month/week/day/hour/ depending on the
time period and extends back to 1998. Each chart displays current Intel, Intel
Community reporting, USG Actions, Key Events and hijacker activity compared over
time. It also depicts a running scorecard of which hijackers (with
pictures) were in the U.S. and when they arrived. JIS Timeline 1.0 was
displayed at the first Inquiry open hearing and dealt with major events up to
the summer of 2001.

Moreover, I have recently recreated/replicated a couple of charts that I have


passed on to Team 1. Those charts tell the story of the assembly of the
hijackers in 2001 in the United States and the story of the contrast between
hijacker activity and USG activity from 1 April onward. That start date was
chosen to coincide with the movement of Hanjour and Nawaf al Hazmi from Arizona
to Virginia, the beginning of a definable "assembly" phase.

A caution. I connect dots differently than most other people and often do so
chaotically. I also tend to think in pictures as opposed to words. Lew Moon
and Mike Jacobsen can reliably be counted on to keep me honest and to make sure
logic prevails.

The combination of the three of us should save each team time and effort in the
early going. Just ask us—whatever the subject at least one of the three of us
touched it at some point over the past year.

Over the past few weeks I have also built timelines for flights AAll, AA77 and
UAL175 for the day of 9/11 itself, based on information in the public domain.

Happy to help, and rest assured the "Force Is With You."

Miles

Subject: contacts with agency officials
Many of you have friends and former colleagues in agencies we are or will be
seeking information from. Now that we have been given official points of
contact at these agencies, however, we need to be especially careful in our
discussions with these friends and ex-colleagues. Philip and I are now engaged
in the process of inital meetings with the offical POCs, which will be followed
by more detailed meetings, in which some of you will be involved, once the team
work plans are set. While the pattern will vary from agency to agency, there
will undoubtedly be regular day-to-day contacts — on-site or by phone or
email — by many of you with the POCs and others designated by them once we
establish the particular mode of operation at each agency.
In general, we should restrict requests for documents, other information,
and interviews to those officals channels established with the agency POCs. Of
course, we do not want to cut off natural and useful contacts you may have with
friends and former colleagues. They can be useful sources of information,
e.g., as to who is doing what at the agency and it may be helpful if they
understand what the Commission is trying to do. But we should avoid making
requests of them that could be considered a circumvention of the process that
we have agreed to followw for seeking information and documents from the agency.
If you have any questions aboiut a proposed contact, talk to Philip, Chris
or me.
