The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (the "Commission") requests that the Executive Office of the President ("EOF" or the "respondent") provide the Commission with the following documents no later than August 25, 2003: 1. All tapes, transcripts and documents related to interagency audio or video teleconferences that the White House Situation Room initiated, facilitated, or otherwise participated in on the morning of September 11, 2001, relating to the hijackings of September 11. For purposes of this request, the term "morning" is defined as 08:30 to 12:00 EDT on September 11, 2001. The term "teleconferences" refers to audio or video communications that involved representatives of the White House and representatives from more than one government agency. The Commission requests that the documents requested above be provided as soon as they are available, even though all requested documents may not be provided at the same time, through means of a "rolling" production. If any requested documents are withheld from production, even temporarily, based on an alleged claim of privilege or for any other reason, the Commission requests that the respondent, as soon as possible and in no event later than the production date, identify and describe each such document or class of documents, as well as the alleged basis for not producing it, with sufficient specificity to allow a meaningful challenge to any such withholding. If the respondent does not have possession, custody or control of any requested documents but has information about where such documents may J^e located, the Commission requests that the respondent provide such information as soon as possible and in no event later than the production date. If the respondent has any questions or concerns about the interpretation or scope of these document requests, the Commission requests that any such questions or concerns be raised with the Commission as soon as possible so that any such issues can be addressed and resolved prior to the production date.
