Andy, thank you for all your coordination. FYI, Kevin Shaeffer and Lisa Sullivan will accompany me for the Sasserville/McNulty sessions. Dana and Lisa will be with me for the Caine session. I have a 0915 medical appointment in Fairfax on the 11th, which I can't postpone. Thurs pm should work for McNulty and Sasserville. The McNulty interview will be narrowly focused and will be the shorter of the two. For Lt Col Sasserville, we will want to go over the tape with him. That will require the capability to look at the VHS tape with him. Concerning the VTC with Major Caine, we also want to go over the VHS tape with him. Will the VTC room equipment allow the concurrent viewing of a VHS tape at both ends? If not the video, how about the audio? Concerning the VTC session itself, the Commission position on one agency rep will require that you decide at which end that representative be located. We also ask that the room controllers at each end not monitor the session itself, once established. I will be back at the office on Monday, please call if you need any additional information.

Please keep me advised on our legal representative for this next round of interviews. Location will be the Operations Group Building (3029) here at Andrews in the OG Conference Room. This is two blocks south of the Wing building on the flight line side (there is a small F-16 on a pedestal in front of the building). It was a pleasure meeting you last week. Let me know if I can provide any more assistance for Round 2. V/R, J.C. JAMES C.

r W: Andrews Visit (FOUO)

Thank you again for everyone's cooperation and support for today's interviews. Please excuse me for departing abruptly to escort the Commission members out the gate. On Monday, may we follow up and discuss the first interview? The Commission staff said they offered for Maj Hutchison to review the cockpit tapes and materials the 113 WG provided and to advise us whether he wants to add anything else, perhaps in a phone call we could set up (Maj Hutchison told them he had not had a chance to do so before the interview). Please let us know early next week whether he intends to accept their offer. I will gladly assist or provide further info (FYI, Mr Wagner will be away much of Mon & Tue). Should Lt Col Sasseville and Maj McNulty not have reviewed the materials, please talk with them about doing so prior to their interviews, to save time. Please select some half-day periods during 8-12 Mar best for the Commission to return for interviews with Lt Col Sasseville and Maj McNulty. I will try to tie down the details for an 8 Mar VTC with Maj Caine. It appears facilities are available in Tucson and the Pentagon. Thank you again. v/r Andy UNCLASSIFIED FOUO Mr Andrew Huddleston, GS-14, DAF Dep Ch, Plans, Integration & Transformation Div, AF/XOHP (703) 696-0024 This may contain information exempt from mandatory disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Please contact her directly in advance for specifics or questions. She's at DSN 858-2042. Should she be affected by a local exercise, another legal counsel rep will be prepared to assist you. Expect the Commission to record the interview. The legal counsel rep will likely be the only other DoD person present during the interviews. The Commission staff will have reviewed the materials you provided, and formed questions from those or other documents/interviews during the past few months. They have been asking questions about the person's role, experience, position, and what they recall about the events that transpired on 9/11. I would expect them to ask about the unit's mission and training
