INTERVIEW TALKING POINTS

If you are tape recording, don't forget to TURN ON THE TAPE RECORDER. Identify yourself and the Commission ("I'm Pat Doe, a staff member with the

National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States.") Give the date, time and location ("It's Monday, July 21, 2003, about 10 am, and weare at the FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C.") Identify the event ("We're here for an interview of Chris Roe.") So that everyone is clearly on notice, state that the interview is being recorded

("Pursuant to our standard policy, and our agreement with the Administration, thisinterview is being tape recorded.")

Ask everyone in the room, including other Commission staff, to identify themselvesand their affiliations for the record If classified material might be discussed, tell thewitness that all Commission staff

members present have Top Secret/SCI clearances (assuming they do). Ask thewitness to inform you during the interview if he or she discusses classifiedinformation, and if so, what the proper classification level is.

Give the witness general background information about the Commission The Commission was established by statute; signed into law by the President There are 10 Commissioners; all come from outside the government, but all have

prior government experience TheChair was appointed by the President The remaining Commissioners were appointed by Congressional leaders The basic statutory mandate of the Commission is three-fold:

to investigate and make a full and complete accounting of the facts andcircumstances surrounding the 9/11 terrorist attacks;

to investigate the country's preparedness for, and immediate response to,those attacks; and

to identify andevaluate the lessons learned from those attacks.


16/20

The mandate of the Commission is to determine the facts and make policyrecommendations, not to establish individual culpability.

The Commission will report its findings to the President, Congress, and theAmerican people, as well as make recommendations for preventing future attacks If the witness has any questions, offer the witness a copy of the statuteGive the witness general instructions about the conduct of the interview "If you don't understand a question, or if it isn't clear, please tell me so that I can

restate it or try to make it clearer." "If you need a break at any time, just let me know so that we can finish up a set of

questions and take a break." "As to historical facts, we are just looking for your best recollection. Please be as

precise as possible with details such as names, dates and locations, but also giveus your best estimate if you don't remember exact details."

Start the substantive portion of the interview by asking the witness to give his or herfull name, with a spelling of the last name, official title, andwork location oraddress.

Before turning off the tape recorder, make clear that you are ending the interview orthat portion of the interview. ("That concludes [this portion of ] the interview.")

Whenever you turn the tape recorder back on after any stop or break in the recording,re-state your name, the date, and the event. ("This is Pat Doe on Monday, July 21,2003, and this is a continuation of the interview of Chris Roe.")

If anyone not identified at the beginning of the interview joins the interview, pleaseask them to identify themselves for the record.

At the end of the interview, tell the witness that he or she can contact you if they havemore information to offer or want to change or add to any answers they have given.

Subject: Interviews of top policy officialsThanks for this, Dan--and for al your slugging on our behalf.Point 3 is, I fear, problematic throughout, we areexplicitly trying toreconstruct the Bush administration's CT policymaking pre-9/11, which entailsreconstructing a DC and PCprocess that was, by its very nature, predecisional .In that context, it's important for us to hear their perceptions of other-participants' positions, if only to understand how hey came up with theirownstances. Policy isn't made in a vacuum.Moreover, in many casessuch as the four key DCmeetings and the Sept. 4, 2001P C meetingwe will be looking for significant detail, including some exactphrasings. God is in the details, after al. It matters whether, say, Armitagesaid, "We'd like to hurt al-Qaida" or said "we're going to eliminate al-Qaida."O f course, we'd be glad to corroborate such information with other sources,including documents (which I trust more than interviews anyway).I'm not sure I understand point 5, either. Butagain, the idea that we'relimited to asking about generalities rather than specifics is problematic. Ise e nothing in our statute limiting us to generalities, serious history takesdetail work.I also worry that thedispute-resolution mechanism may hamstring us. what ifHadley's minder objects to some point, we can't resolve it, we defer the lineof questioning, and he then never comes back? Or he only comes back so late inthe game as to make it impossible for us to follow up on the information heprovides? Again, I don't think thestatute leaves much doubt about thewhiteHouse obligation to comply.Just a few quick reactionshope they're helpful.Best,warrenQuoting "" :
