FYI and action. The documents he refers to are the supporting documents to the / administrative record designating certain groups as FTOs. (DOS request 1, / #6). This is the first thing that they have made available (we have received / nothing else yet) . •——/ This is unacceptable and we are being slow-walked. I thought that Justice instructed the agencies to waive the third-party rule. FYI, Treasury was making similar noises about this in our meeting this morning. I am happy to respond to this but need more information about the status of the third party rule. Please advise. Thank you.

I understand that the records you identified for copying include a fair number of intelligence community documents. It looks like we will process through our system for release those docs which are ours, but we will probably have to refer you to CIA to obtain their docs that are part of our records. FYI at this point. Original Message From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 3:05 PM To: Hofmann, Karl W Subject: RE: 9-11 commission document request
Thanks.
To the extent you can bleed them out a box at a time, that would be
helpful.
If there is an issue re volume, let me know that, too.

We have completed the review of the FTO designation administrative records. At the bottom of this e-mail is a list of the materials we would like copied. They should all be marked by post-it notes, but in the event that they are not, this list should control. Thank you very much, and extend my thanks to Jean McCray, for this. Do you have a sense of the status of the remaining of the documents we agreed to at our June 30 meeting? Thanks. John Roth

John, Team 1 finished up at State yesterday tabbing the administrative records. Below is what I believe is a complete list of everything that was tabbed for xeroxing by either Team 1 or Team 4. If this agrees with your notes, then you could please send this on to State? They understandably want a list in writing, in addition to the tabs. Also, Jean thought that Carl Hoffman would be the appropriate recipient over there. Thanks! Yoel

Karl hasn't got back to me, but what I will propose to him is a dedicated reading room where we can go and review the documents according to our timetable. The difficulty is that they are using these documents to prepare renewals, so each set may be available off and on. Additionally, I would like to review and release the documents as soon as we can, so we are not tying up documents for months at a time. Obviously, administrative convenience will take a back seat to our investigative needs, but to the extent we can move documents through the process, I think we should.

Karl: Thank you for making the FTO administrative records available for review so quickly. After reviewing some of them in detail last Thursday, I have a better sense of the information they contain, and find that some of this will be useful to our inquiry. We would certainly like copies of the "summary of the administrative record," for each designation, each of which ranges from about ten to twenty pages. Additionally, there are certain (but by no means all) of the supporting documents which we would like to have copied. In the 99 AQ designation, for example, there are about ten supporting documents I found to be relevant.
Other designations have fewer relevant supporting documents.
What is your suggestion on the best manner to move forward? I understand from my conversations with Saadia that she will not be the permanent point of contact. Let me know your thoughts on the next steps. Thanks. John Roth 9-11 Commission 202-331-4066
