The Honorable Daniel Marcus

General Counsel
National Commission on Terrorism Attacks
301 7th Street SW, Room 5125
Washington, DC 20407

Dear Mr. Marcus:

In response to your letter, dated July 9, 2003, Arlington County Fire Department will
make every effort to comply with the Commission's request to provide the department's
documentation relating to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. There is one issue. We are
not able to meet the deadline stated in the request. Many of the people who would be involved in
providing or retrieving the information is or will be taking vacation or fulfilling prior
commitments thus I am requesting an extension of time to collect the data. We respectfully
request an extension to August 22, 2003.

Please contact my administrative assistant, Jacqui Brown, at 703.228.3395 or Chief

Shawn Kelley at 703.228.4645 if you have any questions pertaining to our extension request.

Sincerely,

Edward P. Plaugher
Fire Chief
