Subject: Coup Sanctions

Hi, Scott - relaying what Carol Schwab has told me -

The annual appropriations act coup sanction was first lifted for Pakistan for FY 02 - the
sanction provision itself stated that it would not apply to Pakistan for the FY - this was
PL 107-57 passed 10/27/01.

The next FY there was Presidential waiver authority in the (FY 03) appropriations bill
and the President did waive.

The current waiver is provided for in the FY 04 supplemental, PL 108-106 sec. 2213.
However, for most of the FY thus far we have been under a continuing resolution, which
carries forward the status quo for FY 03, so until recently we were still operating under
the FY 03 waiver.

All,

FYI, here is the brief writeup on the Saudi effort I did for coordination with other teams.

Warren: a point or two may be of interest for adding to the outline.

Best,

§ 2 Proposed Division of Labor on Saudi Arabia 081503.doc application/msword 15.76 KB §p

Proposed Division of Labor on Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is a vital topic for our Commission. In addition to its obvious importance in the 9-11 story itself, it is also an important
/'~Niartner
in the war on terrorism as well as a possible source of violence and radical ideology. Excluding the compartmented work, the
Commission final report should address three topics with regard to Saudi Arabia:

The priority of counterterrorism in the overall bilateral relationship with Saudi Arabia, both before and after 9-11. What was the
quality of counterterrorism cooperation from Saudi Arabia, both before and after 9-11? It would examine cooperation on past
investigations, such as Khobar Towers and OPM/SANG. In addition to intelligence, what other forms of assistance did the
Saudis provide to the United States (e.g. on oil production, basing for Operation Southern Watch, and so on)? What issues, if
any, prevented a stronger relationship on counterterrorism? [ [Team 3 lead, with support from Team 2]

1.

The treatment of Saudi citizens by U.S. authorities. Were the activities of Saudis of appropriate interest to U.S. intelligence and
consular officials? Was proper direction given if intelligence indicated Saudis might be a threat? This section may be
extremely short. [Team 6 lead, with support from teams 3, 5, and 7]

1.

The threat emanating from Saudi Arabia, both before and after 9-11. Assessing the threat would include al-Qa'ida's ability to
recruit, raise money, and enjoy a haven in the Kingdom. In addition, it would include Saudi efforts to spread Wahhabism
beyond the Kingdom and the effects of this campaign. [Team 1 lead, with Team 4 handling the financing issue]

Team 3 will take the lead on integrating the various sections into an overall report. In addition to handling much of the drafting, this
may involve asking various teams to contribute to short pieces on narrow topics (e.g. the spread of Wahhabism, which Team 1 is
already working on) and passing on questions related to Saudi Arabia for other teams to ask in their interviews.

iither a staff member or team leader with the knowledge of the compartmented investigation should read the report over to ensure
that there are no gaps and that the two reports inform each other.

Subject: Saudi workplan
Mike,

Attached is a slightly revised version of the Saudi workplan. My

attempts to coordinate with other staff members had a bit of progress,
but I don't think anyone read it over too carefully. (Some key folks
are on vacation, which doesn't help.)

Given the importance of Saudi Arabia, we may want to run this by the
Front Office. If we do, I think it would be appropriate to coordinate
this with various team leaders, as in essence I've signed up almost
every team for some aspect of this.

An alternative -- one that may be easier -- is simply to begin the work

and get fairly far down the road before we attempt further coordination.

My initial plan was that we'd coordinate first, research second. But it
may be good to do a good chunk of our work before bothering with the
coordination process internally, which seems a bit cumbersome.

Best,
Dan

Proposed Division of Labor on Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is a vital topic for our Commission. In addition to its obvious importance in the 9-11 story itself, it is also an important
partner in the war on terrorism as well as a possible source of violence and radical ideology. Excluding the compartmented work, the
Commission final report should address at least four topics with regard to Saudi Arabia:

1. The priority of counterterrorism in the overall bilateral relationship with Saudi Arabia, both before and after 9-11. What issues,
if any, prevented a stronger relationship on counterterrorism? [Team 3 lead]

2. The treatment of Saudi citizens by U.S. authorities. Were the activities of Saudis of appropriate interest to U.S. intelligence
and consular officials? Was proper direction given if intelligence indicated Saudis might be a threat? [Team 6 lead, with
support from teams 3, 5, and 7]

3. The quality of counterterrorism cooperation from Saudi Arabia, both before and after 9-11. This would include intelligence
cooperation in particular, but also other means of support. [Team 2 lead, with support from Team 3]

"^ 4. The threat emanating from Saudi Arabia, both before and after 9-11. This would include al-Qa'ida's ability to recruit, raise
money, and enjoy a haven in the Kingdom. In addition, it would include Saudi efforts to spread Wahhabism beyond the
Kingdom and the effects of this campaign. [Team 1 lead, with Team 4 handling the financing issue]

Team 3 is willing to take the lead on integrating the various sections into an overall report, if appropriate.
