    To date we have confirmed that Cofer Black attended the meeting. He wouldappear to have been the most senior attendee. We are working on the remainingpossible names. The one item that Clarke claims came out of the meeting ameeting of the federal building security committee may have happened.There was a meeting of the committee on July 9. We will be receiving from theFBI tomorrow documents regarding the July 9 bldg sec. meeting, including thesign in sheet. Do not yet have confirmation that this meeting was explicitly aresult of the July 5 Clarke meeting. It may have been a regularly scheduledmeeting.Barbara

    The two week-target date set by the Front Office for chapter submissions is Friday, April30th. The m ore material the Front Office receives early, the m ore we can wo rk with you inshaping that material, and the less painful the process will be later in the month. In all casessend material to Stephanie Kaplan; she will take care of further distribution.

    We understand that not eve ryone will be complete with drafts by that date, but if you canpush hard this wee k to get the first draft done, please do so. We will start the editing processthis weekend. The deadline for a first draft final report submission to Com missioners is Monday,May 31st.Monographs.To Team Leaders:

    We want to clarify priorities on written products. For Team 8, the top priority is staffstatements, which will fold directly into the final report. For all other teams the top priority is thefinal report. The next priority is the monographs. Monographs can take forms that suit the wo rkof your Team; they are of no set length or fo rma t, but we believe it is important for every team tocomplete a monograph. The purpose of the monograph is to mem orialize each Team's body ofwork, and provide the investigative and intellectual underpinning for your contribution to the finalreport.The outside deadline for monographs is July 1st. What this means is that all work shouldbe complete by that date, subject to final edits by the Front Office and copy editing. Teams willhave the month of June to complete monographs wh ile the Front Office is engaged w ith theCom missioners turning the draft report into the final report by July 1st. Any monographs

    completed before July 1st would be welcome.The target date for issuing the Final Report, not later than July 26th, is also the target datefor issuing monographs.

    Dan,It's still unclear what shape Team 3's monograph will take, but assuming there is time to produce one after all thework on the Final Report, then:Classification is likely to be Top Secret/Codeword.Given that, its readership will be restricted to a limited number of people in the compartment at CIA, State, NSC,Office of Secretary of Defense, Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Senior officials in thecombatant commands (such as CENTCOM and SOCOM), DoJ, Treasury Department, Senior levels of the FBI,and congressional leadership. Most of the people in the compartment are at CIA, the number of people in thecompartment at other agencies is limited.If we can get our work through pre-publication review, then the readership would be broader, and would includeinterested officials in the major foreign policy and national security departments and agencies, the think-tankcommunity, former government officials, reporters writing on national security, academics, and the families of thevictims of 9/11.Mike

    The summ er of threat: border lookouts placed on Hazmi and Mihdhar.Primary records of lookouts placed on Hazmi and M ihdhar show that borderlookouts were not received by INS and Customs until after Mihdhar had returnedJuly 4, 2001. (It appears that the INS acted qu ickly to upload the inform ationonce the information was received.) On August 23, 2001, the CIA sent a classified electronic message to the StateDepartment, FB I, INS and other government agencies, recommending thatMihdhar and al Hazmi be added to TIPOFF and the Treasury E nforcementCommunications System (TECS) which contained a database accessible to theINS and Customs. On August 24, the State Department's T IPOFF office created a dual record foreach terrorist, a classified side with intelligence reporting, and an unclassified

    record with their name, passport number, andplace and date of birth. Theunclassified information was entered into the Consular Lookout SupportSystem (CLASS) for use by consular officers running checks on visaapplications. The TIPOFF office also transmitted the information to INS. August 24, 2001. Both al Hazmi and Mihdhar are entered into TECS aslookouts, automatically scanned at ports of entry. The lookouts are identical,and warn of "possible travel to the U.S." and instruct inspectors to refer theterrorists to secondary inspection, where both investigations and intelligencedivisions at headquarters were to be notified. In addition, passport numbersand travel itinerary were to be recorded in secondary results. August 31, 2001. Mihdhar is listed in TECS as "armed and dangerous", andinspectors are instructed to transport him to secondary inspection. September 4,2001. The State Department revoked Mihdhar's visa undersection 212(A)(3)(B) of the Imm igration and Nationality Act for hisparticipation in terrorist activities. September 5,2001. The INS entered Mihdhar's notice of revokation into theINS lookout system, NAILS. September 5,2001. Mihdhar is listed in TECS as a potential witness in anFBI investigation, and now inspectors are told not to detain him.

    Attached is a memorandum from Philip and me setting forth guidelines and procedures to be followed in draftingchapters of the report (which drafts we hope to see from you soon!) to assure that we keep on the right side of theline on treatment of classified or possibly classified material pending executive branch review and clearance ofthe report as unclassified. The rules are pretty much the same as the ones set forth in my March 22 e-mail restaff statements. Our successful experience in navigating the classification shoals (or rapids?) with staffstatements underlines the importance of following the attached guidelines for the report chapters. So please readthe attached memorandum carefully.

    April 21,2004MEMORANDUM

    To: StaffFrom: Philip Zelikow and Dan MarcusRe: Classification Issues in Drafts of Report Sections

    While we plan for the Commission's final report to be a public, unclassified document,the reportor at least most portions of itwill have to undergo a pre-publication reviewby the executive branch to assure that result. In addition, many if not most of you will beusing informationalbeit information we believe should be declassified or regarded asunclassifiedthat is derived from classified documents or interviews. It is thereforeimportant to adhere to the following guidelines and procedures, similar to those we havefollowed in preparing draft staff statements, in working on drafts of chapters of thereport:

    1. Drafts of chapters that rely on any information derived from classified sourcesmust be handled as classified documents based on the highest classification ofsource documents or interviews. In particular:

    a) such chapters must be drafted and edited only on classified computers;b) draft chapters derived from material up to the Secret level may be worked

    on in any Commission office; draft chapters derived from TS/SCI materialmust be worked on at the K Street office or another SCIF;

    c) such draft chapters must be transmitted by secure meanse.g., classifiedfax or lock bag;d) such draft chapters must be stored and transported securely.

    2. Drafts of chapters that rely on any information derived from classified sources(documents or interviews) should be marked on each page as "Subject toClassification Review."

    3. Draft chapters should include endnotes thatset forth both the proposed citation forthe actual public report, along with the classification (if any) of the source andadditional information (such as Bates numbers) that would facilitate the retrievalof the source. Stephanie Kaplan will circulate citation guidelines for both thefinal report and monographs later today.

    14/67

    4. Such draft chapters should be treated as classified until you are notified by thefront office that the pre-publication review process for that chapter has beencompleted.

    We recognize that it may be clear from the outset that some draft chapters contain nomaterial derived from currently classified sources (e.g., the chapters on the immediateresponse in New York or chapters based solely on material in staff statements that havealready been cleared by the executive branch). Such draft chapters may be treated asunclassified from the outset with the consent of the front office.If you have any questions, please talk to Chris, Steve, Stephanie, Graham, or one of us.

    Dan,Per your request. This is a start, I'll send more as I think of them. I suggest youspeak to John Roth about changes at Treasury that relate to the emerging shape of awar on terror (FR, Section 9.3):

    TTIC-established in spring 2003 to consolidate threat reporting and ensure that all relevant info from cia, fbiand other collectors resides in one place and is easily accessible. Unclear, at this point whether individualagencies will cough up their most sensitive info. Tenet is banking that this answers the mail for a newcapability.

    CIA's management of the war on terrorism is conducted in its daily 5:00 meetings, which bring togetherreps of all elements within CIA, the 1C, State, DoD, Treasury, etc. to coordinate their efforts. Tenet toutsthis as a highly effective management mechanism.

    The al Qaeda Senior Leadership Group: This is a highly sensitive group of deputies, sometimes includingprincipals, that manages the USG's hunt for bin Laden, Zawahiri, and other a Q high value targets.Chairman Myers runs it.

    Task Force 121 now has a new name. But it is the special operations forces group, now under CombatantCommander for CENTCOM, that hunts down UBL and his henchment in the field.

    Rumsfeld/Tenet lash-ups: Both Tenet and Rumsfeld say they meet frequently and converse constantly.As DoD and CIA have the leading roles, this close bilateral relationship ensures, they say, that there is nodaylight between them on important issues. The question is whether this will be institutionalized, orwhether it's personality dependent, i.e., it works because Tenet and Rumsfeld get along.

    NSC Office of Combating Terrorism: Stood up in fall of 2001. Has coordinated an overall CT strategy.How much power and authority does it have. In less than three years it has had three different DeputyNational Security Advisers for Combating Terrorism: Wayne Downing, John Gordon, now FranTownsend. Can it really prevail over Rumsfeld and DoD? Tenet and CIA? Powell and State?

    NSC also stood up in summer of 2003 a new directorate for Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran. It's now headed byBob Blackwill who has the title of Deputy National Security Council. What is its role vis-a-vis Townsend'sshop? Just a coordinator? Or does it have real authority?

    FBI: Mueller says that it is moving in the right direction: emphasis now not just on developing criminalcases, but on collecting domestic intelligence. Problem is that his requires a huge cultural change.Mueller does not want congress, or our commission, to force change on the bureau, so he is doing his bestto address concerns and demonstrate he is our in front of the wave. Bureau needs to establish a wholenew career track for analysts. These people w on 't be cops; but they need to know they can rise in theBureau. Lots of skepticism about whethe r the Bureau is really capable of making such a dramatic changefrom how it has done business in the past.

    FBI Director briefs President Bush every day. In press interviews, Andy Card makes clear that theDirector's access to the president is unprecedented. These daily briefings began on September 14, 2001.According to Card, this channel alone is a huge step forward toward enhancing the country's security. Thebackground is that the FBI for years had stayed away from the White House as a result of the dysfunctionalClinton-Freeh relationship, and concerns that the White House would m isuse the FBI in some way (seeTravelGate).

    McLaughlin on Sum mer of Threat:But it was a reflection of the degree of frustration he was feeling at the time. Given thefact that policy was proceeding so slowly w hile the threat warnings w ere at their height,McLaughlin's feeling at this time was, "what more did you need to know?" (He addedthat he understands that before 9-11 one could not expect the same consensus as was seenafter 9-11).

    "We were going nuts at this point," McL aughlin explained, and yet it was at exactly thistime when C IA was asked whether the warnings it was receiving were, perhaps,disinformation. These questions came m ostly from the Pentagon, McLaughlin observed,but they were "from all over." In response, a study was put together by CIA whichreported that the warnings were indeed for real. McLaughlin explained that hiscomm ents on this matter were not meant to be critical, but "imagine the extra energy thatwent into that."
