Philip D. Zelikow EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, impressed with your previous published study of United States counterterrorism policy, "Skirmishes at the Edge of Empire," and aware of your unique government and academic credentials and achievements, requests that you research and write a monograph for use by the Commission in preparing its report to the American public and government. Specifically, the Commission requests that you examine U.S. counterterrorism policy before and after the end of the Cold War. Your review should cover the period from the Beirut bombings of 1983 through 1998. Please assess the importance of terrorism in overall U.S. foreign policy with a focus on the most senior policy makers. How did successive administrations during this period respond to terrorism? Was it a minor concern or a major driver of policy? What was the impact of the end of the Cold War? Also, please examine what policy makers saw as the primary threat. Was terrorism viewed solely as part of the U.S.-Soviet struggle, an issue of concern with rogue states, or a domestic problem? Did Sunni militant extremism register as a problem with policy makers? How was al-Qaida viewed as it emerged in the 1990s? •0>»W

-

We are particularly interested in the evolution of U.S. counterterrorism strategy during this time. Did policy makers see terrorism as a criminal matter or a national security concern? How did they fight terrorism—through law enforcement, intelligence, military strikes, or other means? Which agencies took the lead, and how did they coordinate with each other? Finally, we seek your assessment of the effectiveness of overall U.S. counterterrorism policy during this period. Did it reduce terrorism and advance other U.S. interests? Did it properly draw on all elements of U.S. national power? What, if anything, hindered the emergence of a more effective policy?

FYI, when you begin your monograph for the Commission, you might want to have in hand a copy of Philip Zelikow's book "Germany Unified and Europe Transformed: A Study in Statecraft", which he co-authored with Condi Rice. Philip sort of regards how he handled footnotes of government stuff in that book to be a kind of a model for how that should be done. We have no explicit instructions on this yet, but it would be a safe bet that h e ' s going to ask all of us to footnote/document sources in a way that is consistent with that model. Mike

Actually, I had planned to start then because it was the bombings in Beirut in 1983 that led the Reagan administration to a policy of trying to pre-empt terrorist attacks. How that happened and why preemption did not work then is important to remember when considering events in the 1990s.

Hope this finds you well, David. Just wanted to drop a note to introduce myself; I'm one of Mike Hurley's teammates on the 9/11 Commission, and I'm looking forward to working with you on the scene-setting monographs about U.S. CT policy. One quick side point: I don't have the written description in front of me, but Mike and I wondered what you'd think of starting your research just a bit earlier--in 1983 rather than 1985, just to capture the Beirut part of the story. That episode is of particular interest to John Lehmann, one of our commissioners. Our lawyers are noodling over the contractual terms, but we'll hope to get those off to you very soon. Many thanks again for taking on this assignment; we're all looking forward to working with you. Best, Warren Bass

Welcome back Dan.

I trust you had a fabulous time in Scotland.

I've been working with Tracy S. on getting a letter out to Tim Naftali and David Tucker, the two scholars we are going to have do contact work for Team 3. They are going to do a history of U.S. counterterrorim policy. Philip has approved this. The note below asks for Philips approval for some modifications to the proposal. In any event, we need to get a letter out to them this week. The letter should have the terms of agreement and include the descriptions of their respective tasks. (Philip has approved the task descriptions.) It should also contain some reference to the word processing software system we would like them to create their work in, for ease of incorporating it into our work. I am happy to work with you in any way over the next few days to get this done.

scholars Tim Naftali and David Tucker. Each will write a monograph on U . S . counterterrorism Policy: Naftali covering the period 1968 to January 1993; and Tucker from 1985 to 1998. Per previous email notes, our view is that they will be "contractors", and they will not have access to sensitive information. Philip agreed to compensate each of them a fee-for-task of $15,000 for their work. In discussing the specific terms of the proposal, however, both Naftali and Tucker thought the fee was somewhat low for what they are being asked to do. Each estimates that their respective research and writing will require upwards of 400 hours. And they point out that the going government rate for this kind of work is $65 per hour. I think that Naftali and Tucker make defensible a case for a somewhat higher fee, and suggest that we agree to pay each of them $20,000. In addition, each pointed out that it will be essential to their work to conduct research at various presidential libraries around the country, and that therefore they will incur travel and lodging expenses. We had not thought about this until now, but the request is reasonable, that is, we concur that the ability to review presidential documents is critical to the thorough research we want Tucker and Naftali to do. I propose that we budget $5,000 for each of them for travel-related expenses. We should make clear to them in the letter memorializing the terms of our agreement that they will need to submit to the Commission ticket and hotel receipts and any other receipts that government regulations require for documenting work-related travel. For Chris Kojm: Pending Philip's decision on this, for budget-tracking purposes, please note the above proposed addition to the fee-for-task, and the proposed travel budget for each. Decisions for Philip: 1)

Request approval to increase to $20,000 each the fee-for-task the

Commission will pay to Tim Naftali and to David Tucker for their work. 2) Request approval to budget travel funds of $5,000 each for Naftali and Tucker. Thanks,

Hi Tracy, Thanks for the fast response. The not to exceed number of hours at that rate seems like a good way to go on this. That way they can project how much they will be paid and we will know that whatever they do they won't be paid more than $20,000. Regarding travel, what you propose sounds fine to me, and I don't see any problems with it. I guess I came up with the $5,000 figure just to ballpark what the costs might run to for budget planning purposes.
