This letter responds to your request for an update on the litmus test items
addressed in your memo of August 26, 2003 and my previous letter to you dated September 5,
2003.
These visits have also been aided by expedited access for your staff to documents
responsive to Document Request #10. To speed access to the Commission, the FBI has allowed
selected staff to review unredacted documents responsive to Document Request #10 before they
are put through the normal processing. Once again, we have received positive feedback from
your staff on this process.
Since September 5, the Commission has also continued to enjoy extensive access
to FBI personnel. In addition to the interviews mentioned above, the FBI, with the CIA,
provided two separate day-long briefings for the Commission staff on the history and leadership
of Al Qaeda and to discuss various individuals and their possible roles or participation in the
9/11 plot. Commission staff also received a briefing on the FBI's approach to working
counterterrorism cases through the use of two case studies. The Commission has also continued
DCT-08-2003 17=56 p03
to have extensive access to FBI personnel in the field. Since September 5, 2003, the
Commission completed its visit to the New York Field Office and completed a separate visit to
the Miami Field Office. In total, your staff conducted a total of 50 interviews in New York and
35 more in Miami. This is in addition to four interviews of Headquarters personnel during this
period as well as an interview of the FBI's Legal Attache in Ottawa and the visit to the LA Field
Office mentioned above. To date, the FBI has provided approximately 162 interviews and 21
briefings to the Commission since the Commission began its work. In the coming weeks, we
expect to facilitate additional field office visits to Phoenix and San Diego. We are also receiving
requests for additional interviews at FBMQ, which we are scheduling as they are received.
Senior officials of the FBI have also worked cooperatively with your Executive
Director to accommodate your desire to gain access to FBI and other personnel overseas and
appropriately address the sensitive issues raised by such an endeavor.
Finally, with respect to the specific litmus test items identified in your memo of
August 26, 2003, the FBI can report the following:
