Messrs. Fanner and Azzarello;

I am enclosing the Port Authority's first supplement production of documents in response

to your office's Document Request No. 1.

The documents are described on the attached listing and we have indicated which
documents on it we believe should be treated as confidential, Most of the materials in
this group relate to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and our original copies
were in most cases lost on 9/11/01. We have reproduced these materials from scanned
files. The scanning was done for different purposes and therefore, some documents were
not scanned in their entirety and others were linked, although they were not when
originally created.

We will continue our efforts to locate materials responsive to your request and will
provide additional materials as we locate them.
