We'll only get him once, and you will need to coordinate with TEam 3, which I assume will have the lead. Also, it is too broad to say we want to interview some of these folks on "the future of immigration and border control." We need to tie it to counterterrorism. How about "your evaluation of the changes that have been made in immigration and border control policies and programs since 9/11 to combat terrorism."

September 16, 2003 The Honorable Wyche Fowler 701 A Street, N.E. Washington, DC 20002 Dear Ambassador Fowler: The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States is directed by statute to investigate the facts and circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, including the nation's preparedness for, and immediate response to, those attacks, as well as to evaluate the lessons learned from those attacks and to make recommendations for preventing future attacks. As part of its investigation, the Commission hereby requests to interview you on issues relating to your work while you served as United States Ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Commission anticipates that classified information may be discussed at this interview. Joanne Accolla, a member of the Commission's staff, will make the arrangements for your interview. The Commission would like to conduct your interview early in October, depending upon your availability, in Washington, D.C. At least two members of the Commission's staff will attend your interview, and the general policy of the Commission is to tape record interviews. Please call Joanne Accolla at 202.401.1774 as soon as possible to discuss the time and location of your interview. Please call Thomas Eldridge at 202.401.1686 to raise any other questions you may have. Thank you very much in advance for your time and for your cooperation with the Commission and its staff in this important matter. Yours sincerely,
Philip Zelikow Executive Director

volatile sheiks, kings, generals, and dictators. We have kowtowed all too often to this bunch, hazarding the ideals, reputation, and safety of America through a deepening involvement with their decadence, a stain with which most Americans are blissfully unfamiliar. America must confront its vulnerability now. 1/17/2002 02:58:08 PM Wyche Fowler, U.S. Ambassador-Turned Saudi Lapdog: Almost every time Madeleine Albright sets foot on a college campus, she gets heckled by protest kids still fuming at a comment she made on 60 Minutes nearly six years ago about the sanctions-era deaths in Iraq being "worth it." As my upcoming Reason Magazine piece will show, her non-denial of Lesley Stahl's absurd claim about 500,000 dead children became the Rosetta Stone of the anti-sanctions movement, and the foundation of a half-decade worth of terrible activist math (irregardless of the heartlessness of her statement). At any rate, I would like to nominate a lesser-known candidate for future protests, whether on campus or outside his Beltway office: Wyche Fowler, the U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia from 1996-2001. Fowler, who was the kind of appointee the Saudis love (close to the president, didn't speak Arabic), wasted little time after his retirement setting up "consulting contracts with several multinational firms to advise them on business in the Middle East," pulling down fat lecture fees on topics like "Saudi Arabia: America's Strategic Trade Partner in the Middle East," and raising funds for The Middle East Institute, of which he is chairman. You would think, given the involvement of the Saudis in Sept. 11, and the House of Saud's scores of outrageous comments since, that Fowler might be a bit contrite over his role (or lack thereof) in exerting universal values of decency and cooperation on our corrupted allies. And you would be wrong. For the last four months, Fowler has been generating headlines such as: "Former Ambassador: Saudis Aren't to Blame" (Charlotte Observer, Nov. 27). Whenever the cable teevee shows can't get a media-hating prince on air, Fowler is the next best thing. Last night he was at it again, on the Jeff Greenfield show: GREENFIELD: Now Mr. Wyche Fowler, you were there for three or four years. Is Mr. Woolsey [former CIA director James, who had just ripped apart the House of Saud] describing the Saudi Arabia that you knew and lived in?
