Dan Marcus, General Counsel National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States 2100 K Street, NW, Suite 300 Washington, DC 20036 Dear Mr. Marcus: This responds to the Commission's Document Request No. 13 to the Department, which requested materials in four categories relating to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and information sharing matters. As we have previously indicated, some of the materials within the scope of this Request, which goes back to 1978, have been retired to the National Archives and, hence, are no longer available to the Department. We have provided you separately with an list of those documents which may be responsive to this Request so that you can request them directly from the Archives. Enclosed are documents from the Offices of the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, and Legal Counsel that we have located in response to categories two and three of the Request. In order to respond to your Request as promptly as possible, we are providing these documents before they have been formally processed, but we will make available Bates stamped versions at a later time. We note that some of these materials are classified and trust that the Commission will treat those materials in accordance with the requirements relating to their classification. We also are prepared to make Appendix D to the Bellows Report, which is classified and responsive to the first category of the Request, available for review by cleared Commission staff at the Department this afternoon. The Department has substantial confidentiality interests in this collection because many of the documents are deliberative in character and contain advice and recommendations that would not usually be disclosed outside of the executive branch. Several of the documents have already been made available to the Commission. One of them, the Dellinger opinion of 1995, has previously been publicly disclosed and is enclosed with this letter. We anticipate that the document requested in the fourth category of this request will be available for review at the Department in the near future.

I hope that this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like additional assistance regarding this matter. Sincerely,

National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States 21 00 K Street, NW, Suite 300 Washington, DC 20036 Dear Mr. Marcus: This responds to the Commission's Document Request to the Department, No. 5, which requested all after-action reports relating to the response of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The ATF has located two internal memoranda, totaling 20 pages, that are responsive to this Request. The first memorandum, dated October 25, 2001, is deliberative in character and the ATF asks that the Commission maintain the confidentiality of this document and its contents. ATF believes that public dissemination of such documents would have a chilling effect on the agency's ability to obtain candid internal assessments and recommendations. The ATF also asks that the Commission not disclose the names of line ATF agents that are set forth in the second document, dated October 23, 2001, in order to protect their privacy. Both of these documents are enclosed. I hope that this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like additional assistance regarding this matter. Sincerely,
