MEMORANDUM FOR DAN MARCUS NATIONAL COMMISSION ON TERRORIST ATTACKS UPON THE UNITED STATES

SUBJECT: National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States Request for Information Request This is in response to the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States latest request for visa records. In a November 3 e-mail message, Mr. Tom Eldrige of the Commission requested "the first visa application (granted on 4/9/99) of Salem Mohammed Salem Al Hazmi, DOB 2-2-81, Place of Birth: Mecca, Saudi passport C562647 OR 582647," which it believes is covered by the Commission's second document request. We forwarded the Commission's request to the U.S. Consulate General in Jeddah. The Consulate General in Jeddah reports that Salem Al Hazmi received a visa from them in 2001. The Commission has received copies of these records. According to the Consular Section, it was his brother, Nawaf MS Al Hazmi, who received visa record 1999093 825 2 on April 3, 1999 in Jeddah. The consular section in Jeddah, searched the Jeddah NIV and the CCD, and found that no other visas were ever issued to Salem other than the one in 2001. Please note that all visa issuance records from 1999 were destroyed at post according to policies in effect before September 11, 2001. The Al Hazmi brothers were from Mecca. They were not in the CLASS record when issued visas in 1999 or 2001. Please note the above response contains information that is protected from disclosure under Section 222(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1202 (f), and, in accordance with that law, may only be used for the "formulation,

amendment, administration, or enforcement of the immigration, nationality, or other laws of the United States." Further, this should be considered "Sensitive but Unclassified" because it contains confidential visa information. Therefore, we request that the Commission protect this information from unauthorized disclosure. We hope this information is useful to you. As always, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have further questions.

Subject: request for additional information on hijacker records Paula I thought I would contact you since you have been our contact person on visa information requests. I do not believe that the Commission has received any data (CCD or other) on the first visa application (granted on 4/9/99) of Salem Mohammed Salem Al Hazmi, DOB 2-2-81, Place of Birth: Mecca, Saudi passport C562647 OR 582647 (I am not sure which). We would like unredacted copies of all State Department records in connection with this application. He was one of the hijackers. We did receive the CCD data and his application for his visa granted him on June 20, 2001 in Jeddah. That information probably had been collected in connection with the GAO investigation. The GAO did not include information on Hazmi's 1999 visa in their report. The earlier visa information is covered by our document request #2. Please let me know if locating and producing this information will pose any problem for State, or if you believe I should direct this request elsewhere. Thanks. -Tom

Please note that some of the material in this installment contains information that is protected from disclosure under Section 222(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1202(f) , and, in accordance with that law, may only be used for the "formulation, amendment, administration, or enforcement of the immigration, nationality, or other laws of the United States." Further, some of the material is marked "Sensitive but Unclassified" because it contains privacy information, confidential visa information, and law enforcement information. Although this material is not classified in and of itself, its designation as "Sensitive but Unclassified" requires special handling.
