A. Yes.
Q. Have you seen that before?
A. I have, but not for some time.

any document as it relates to this. To my
knowledge, that was done. I don't know what he
found or what he submitted, but that's what we
asked.
Q. Do you have any additional
documents?

A. No.
Q. Could you just briefly tell me who
comprises the membership of the union, is it
every firefighters in the city of New York?
A. Every firefighter of the City of
New York is a member of the Uniformed
Firefighters Association which is the union.
The elected officials of the union are really
11 members, five borough trustees elected by
the members of each borough, so i.e. Brooklyn
elects the Brooklyn trustee. There are five
citywide officials; president, vice president,
treasurer, recording secretary and sergeant at
arms.
And there is a fire marshal
representative, the 11th, which represents only
fire marshals which are also part of my union.
Q. When you say you have been
president since 2002, do you remember the exact
date that you were elected?
A. I took office effective August 1,
2002. I was elected sometime in July.
Q. How long are those terms?
A. Three year terms.

A. Yes.
Q. And how many people are on that
executive board?
A. That's the 11 people that I
mentioned earlier.
Q. It would be the five borough
trustees, the president, vice president,
recording secretary, treasurer, health and
safety/sergeant at arms and the marshal
representative; is that correct?
A. Yes.
Q. As best you can recall, do you
remember who held those positions when you
first started as UFA president in August of
2002?
A. Yes. When I first took office in
August 2002, I was the president, Jim Slevin
was the vice president as he currently is.
Phil McArdle was the sergeant at arms, Kevin
McAdams was the treasurer. And Joe Miccio was
the recording secretary. The borough trustees
were Bob Straub, Bronx trustee; John Kelly,
Brooklyn trustee; Rudy Sanfilippo, Manhattan
trustee; Tom DePalma, Queens trustee; and Don

that time?
A. Well, prior to 9/11 I had been
assigned light duty at headquarters due to an
injury, two injuries that I suffered when I
fell through a floor at a fire. I was working
for the public information office so I was
working at Ground Zero for public information,
trying to coordinate in the first week
communications between headquarters and staff
chiefs.
In the first few days, there was no
cell phones that were working. It was very
much like the Pony Express.
And in the weeks that followed, as
communications got better, I was there dealing
with the media in some kind of backup role.
Q. Were you working at that point with
Frank Gribbon?
A. Yes. He was the -- I'm trying to
think what his title is, but he's in charge of
public information for the city. I think he's
assistant commissioner for public information.
I was working for his office.

station is?
A. The transfer station?
Q. Yeah, it's a term called transfer
station in reference to Ground Zero?
A. I don't know what you mean by that.
Q. Okay. Do you know where everything
at Ground Zero was taken after it was taken off
site?
A. No, I don't know.
Q. Have you ever heard of Fresh Kills?
A. Oh, Fresh Kim's landfill. I do
know that much, I don't know if all, of the
material after it had been sifted through was
taken to Fresh Kills.
Q. During your time working at Ground
Zero, generally how long were the shifts?
A. In the -- in the first -- I would
say in the first few weeks the shifts were 24
hours on, 24 hours off.
Let me back up. In the first week
to ten days there were 24 hours on, 24 hours
off. Then I think the department shifted to
maybe twelve-hour shifts. You know, to be
honest, I can't remember. They did change

their chart. In the first few weeks it was -definitely guys were there for extended periods
of time.
Q. And when you're doing the
communications work, were you set up at some
kind of a command post near Ground Zero or
where in general were you working?
A. It wasn't that structured, to be
honest. You know, when we had -- I want to say
maybe day four or five, when we had cell phones
that were working, you would just go wherever
they needed you to go and it may have been
simply to find a particular chief and get an
update on a report that came in.
There were many, many rumors
circulating about people being found, items
being recovered and. So, the public
information office needed to be able to respond
to the media and one of the ways they needed to
do that was to verify whether or not
information that they were hearing from
reporters was true. One of the things that
they had asked me and others to do is find a
particular chief or track down a particular

remnant?
A. Remnant, I'm not sure what you mean
by that.
Q. How about victims' personal
belonging?
A. I know what you mean by that, yes.
Q. What would you describe that as?
A. Anything that was being carried by
any one of the victims who was killed in the
terrorist attack, i.e., clothing, wallet,
pictures, money, watches, jewelry, any of those
things.
Q. Do you know whether or not there
are any policies in place for workers at Ground
Zero as to removing items from Ground Zero,
meaning for their own personal use as opposed
to going for the landfill?
A. Yeah, absolutely, prohibited.
Q. Were private citizens who were
involved in some way in the efforts at Ground
Zero allowed to or have the authority to remove
any of these items from Ground Zero?
A. No.

A. Yes.
Q. Do you recall when this board
meeting took place?
A. No.
Q. Do you recall the year, generally?
A. It could have been late 2002, but
it was probably sometime in 2003.
Q. Do you recall why Mr. Sanfilippo
had brought this issue to the attention the
board?
A. The first time that I heard his
name, I don't know if that's when he raised
this topic, but he subsequently, if he didn't
do it at that point in time, raised it to say
that the UFA had granted Mr. Suson the mantle
of official photographer of the Uniformed
Firefighters Association.
Q. You don't recall whether or not he
said that at that board meeting?
A. He said it at a board meeting. I
don't know if he said it at the first board
meeting that I remember him mentioning this.
Q. The first time that he mentioned
this at a board meeting, do you recall why he

designation?
A. I don't believe anybody else was.
Q. Again, that's the 11 member board;
is that correct?
A. Let me clarify one thing. On the
11 member board, the fire marshal rep doesn't
get to vote. It's a ten member board. The
president only votes to break ties.
Q. You didn't vote?
A. I would only vote to break a tie
and it was not necessary for me to vote.
Q. Before today, have you ever met
Mr. Suson in person?
A. I don't believe so.
Q. Do you recall if you've ever spoken
with him on the telephone?
A. I think that's possible that I have
spoken to him, but I don't recall any
specifics.
Q. Do you recall whether or not he
might have called you and left any voicemails
or anything like that?
A. I don't recall any specifics about
that, but it's possible.

and Mr. Gorman. Mr. Gallagher said that -after reviewing it, said that that's a stamp.
It's not his signature. He never stamped that
letter or authorized that it be stamped.
When I spoke to Mr. Gorman, he said
Rudy Sanfilippo showed up at his office with
this letter with Kevin Gallagher's name on this
side. The letter already drawn up and asked
Pete to sign it. He said -- Pete told me that
he signed it because he thought that if it was
okay with Kevin, it was okay with him.
Q. Did you ever discuss with Mr.
Sanfilippo whether or not he knew how it came
to be that Mr. Gallagher's signature or stamp
ended up on the letter?
A. No.
Q. Do you know, other than bringing
the letter to Mr. Gorman, what role
Mr. Sanfilippo played in either writing or
procuring the letter?
A. I don't. I know that the
secretary -- the presidential secretary for the
UFA who is Fern Iodice, who was Kevin's
secretary. She's been the secretary for the

has.
Q. Generally, do you know whether or
not they ever stamp your name without your
knowledge; "they" being the secretary or the
treasurer?
A. I think the answer to that is
probably they do on occasion.
Q. You mentioned Rudy Sanfilippo. You
worked together at the UFA, right? He was the
Manhattan trustee?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you have a good working
relationship?
A. I would say no.
Q. And why is that?
A. It just wasn't. It was adversarial
from the beginning. I can't really give you
any details as to why it was that way. It just
was.
Q. Is there any incident that took
place to cause that initially?
A. Well, when I ran for president the
first time he campaign pain and supported the
person that I beat in the election.

is that correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you know whether or not there
are minutes that reflect any discussions
regarding Mr. Suson?
A. I haven't looked at the minutes
from, you know, back then, but there should be
minutes.
MR. LEFKOWITZ: Are you moving on
to another topic now?
MR. CONTI: Yeah.
+ MR. LEFKOWITZ: Before we do
that, I want to put on the record, please
look for minutes of these board meetings.
THE WITNESS: I absolutely will.
It never even crossed my mind to do so.
Q. So, you've testified that it came
up before the board. Was Suson ever the
official photograph at Ground Zero for the UFA?
A. No.
Q. Has the UFA ever had an official
photographer at Ground Zero?
A. No.

time.
(Recess taken.)
Q. Mr. Cassidy, earlier you testified
that the board, the UFA board, discussed
Mr. Suson on a couple of occasions?
A. Yes.
Q. Are there minutes of those
meetings?
A. There should be and one of the
things I said earlier I wanted to clarify. I
said there was a vote. There certainly was a
discussion of the topic. I can't be certain it
was a vote because it may have been that
Mr. Sanfilippo couldn't even get a second to
have a vote, so there may not have technically
been a vote not to do this.
It's my belief that there was a
vote and we voted not to do it, but certainly
the action was the board had decided not to
grant Mr. Suson the title of official
photographer for the UFA, which Mr. Sanfilippo
was trying to secure for him.
Q. And, again, minutes are kept as a
regular course of business for these meetings;

A. No.
Q. I'd like you to turn to Exhibit 24
which is going to be in that same binder there.
A. Yes.
Q. If you could take a look at that.
A. Okay. (Reviewing.)
Okay.
Q. Have you ever seen this document
before?
A. I don't recall ever seeing it
before.
Q. Are you familiar at all with the
dispute that's described in this letter?
A. Mr. Butler has told me that it's
his belief that Mr. Suson is talking about
somebody else, has him mistaken for somebody
else.
Q. Does Mr. Butler know who that other
person is?
A. No.
Q. Do you know whether or not Tom
Butler spoke with the Associated Press on
August 28, 2005 as is asserted in the first

A. Okay.
Q. Quickly just review this one-page
document.
A. (Reviewing.)
Okay.
Q. Have you ever seen this document
before?
A. I haven't seen it, but -- not
before.
Q. It's a one-page document e-mail
from Mr. Suson to Jim Spollen and in the first
paragraph, "If you would be so kind as to ask
Mr. Cassidy to call me as soon as possible
regarding erroneous and slanderous remarks made
yesterday to the Associated Press from Tom
Butler, Re: Ground Zero museum workshop and
myself."
Do you recall whether or not
Mr. Spollen ever discussed this document with
you or this request from Mr. Suson that you
call him?
A. I do remember that he did speak to
me about being contacted by Mr. Suson now that
I read this e-mail. I don't believe I've read

official photographer?
A. Yes.
Q. And the board continued to take the
position that that was inaccurate?
A. Absolutely.
Q. If you could take a look at Exhibit
164, which is going to be in that other binder
which you have open there still.
A. Okay.
Q. If you want to take a quick look at
this from below the "Good morning Linda" line,
just that next e-mail portion.
A. (Reviewing.)
Okay.
Q. Have you seen this document before?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you read this document?
A. I did.
Q. It's an e-mail from Mr. Gallagher
and you in addition to other folks who have
been CC'd. Do you know if you replied to
Mr. Gallagher?
A. I don't know if I replied in the
form of an e-mail but I did speak to him about

before?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you know about this letter
before it was sent to Mr. Suson?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you authorizes this letter to
be sent?
A. Yes.
Q. What was the reason that this
letter was sent?
A. Again, to clarify for -- again, to
clarify this particular issue with Mr. Suson
claiming that he was the official photographer
for the UFA. He had now apparently sent us
some checks to the UFA Widows and Childrens
Fund and this letter clarified that although we
appreciated it, we could not accept it as he
was continuing to say he was the official
photographer for the UFA.
Q. So in November of 2006, more than a
year after the initial cease and desist letter,
Mr. Suson was still claiming he was the

the topic.
Q. Do you remember the details of the
conversation with Mr. Gallagher?
A. Just a rehash of what we had
previously discussed, that he had never
authorized his stamp to be on such a letter,
that he never signed that letter and that he
didn't know anything about this guy and that
the UFA, prior to me being the president, did
not grant Mr. Suson the title of official
photographer in the UFA.
Q. Did you speak with anyone else when
you got this e-mail?
A. Pardon me?
Q. Did you speak with anyone else
about Mr. Suson when you got the e-mail?
A. I'm sure I spoke to my attorney,
Mike Block, but I don't remember any specifics.
Q. Did you do anything else as a
result of the e-mail, contact Mr. Suson, for
example?
A. I don't believe so.
Q. Did Mr. Sanfilippo ever state that
he had appointed Mr. Suson the official

me, yes.
Q. Do you remember when it was shown
to you?
A. Sometime after it was written.
Q. Reading from the second paragraph,
"In my capacity as an elected representative
for New York City firefighters, I interviewed
Gary and reviewed some photos he had taken in
the first days following 9/11/01. After some
lengthy discussions, we outlined the guidelines
for this work and agreed to introduce him to
certain members and chiefs at the site so that
he could record a truthful as well as sensitive
photo account."
Do you know anything about any
guidelines that Mr. Sanfilippo discussed with
Mr. Suson?
A. I don't, and it's interesting to me
that he says, "I interviewed Gary and reviewed
some photos he had taken in the first days
following 9/11" and then it says "after some
lengthy discussions, we outlined the guidelines
for his work." I have no idea who "we" is.
Q. Would "we" refer to anyone at the

emblem?
A. I'm trying to think of the answer.
I don't recall that I have seen it. I'm not
sure where it is.
Q. Have you ever seen any of the
crosses that were made of Ground Zero steel?
A. I haven't personally, but I think
I've seen pictures of the FDNY cross that
you're referring to initially.
Q. Where is it?
A. I don't know. I've seen a picture
of it. I don't remember where it is.
Q. You don't remember from the context
where it was?
A. I don't remember.
Q. Mr. Conti talked to you a little
bit about the Fresh Kills landfill. Do you
know what that is?
A. Sure.
Q. What is it?
A. That's where the rubble from Ground
Zero was dumped, much of it.
Q. When you say "dumped," are you
talking about garbage?

Q. He's a salaried employee?
A. Yes.
Q. You talked about charges that Rudy
Sanfilippo brought against you and I know you
said that some were withdrawn and others were
dismissed or voted down.
Would you please tell me what those
charges were.
A. I don't recall specifically. I
don't have them in front of me.
Q. What was the nature of the charges?
A. As I said, they were -- I might
have them.
Q. You have some file in your
Blackberry there?
A. I might, I might.
MR. LEFKOWITZ: For the record, the
witness is looking through his
Blackberry, because he suspects there may
be something.
A. I don't have them on my Blackberry.
Q. + Well, I would ask you if you have
it back at the office to produce a copy of it.

Mr. Sanfilippo brought the topic up because he
wanted to secure for Mr. Suson something from
us that said he was the official photographer
