classified Information

Subject: Chapter 5 and other matters Let's schedule a staff meeting for 10 AM tomorrow. Meanwhile, from the FO: PDZ made a point of saying how good all the work is. Also that there is little or no tolerance in the schedule so it's hard work. Chapter 5. FO produced a revised version this morning. I am redacting it of| pages as possible available tomorrow. The first deadline for turnaround is June 1.

|to make as many

Illustrations. Stephanie would like a written list by COB tomorrow. (A disk is not required, but won't be refused.) • The T5 list should include the description, and the reason why we are proposing it. E.g. x's passport, illustrates possible extremist indicator. Please make the list in priority order. Cite-checking. Steve Dunne has a team of cite-checkers (Yoel, Gordon, Serena, Alexis, Raj). They will be coming to us for assistance. They will be consolidating the number of footnotes. They will be seeking physical copies of the back-up docs for each footnote. We will need to provide them on their timeline as requested. Appendix. One appendix will have a list of all people interviewed, to facilitate footnoting. • To cover our interviews we need to provide a complete list with: Name (undercover as needed, with special arrangements for a few anonymous), Date, City. • The FO requests a new for MFRs, which are running at about 800 out of 1500. FO recognizes that they will not all be done even during the life of the Commission. They would like us to make a push to get what we can by Tuesday. Any MFR that comes to me before then I will review and forward, and aim to have all of them done that are already on hand by Monday. If we are relying on notes for citations, we are to provide physical copies of these to the cite-checking team. We can provide draft MFRs. Copy editor. Alice Falk starts Tuesday. Deadlines. • Report to pre-pub by July 1, printer by July 15. Commrs will get drafts of 1-4 starting today. (We will be getting 4 back, and of course 2, and I am lobbying for 1 as well.) FO will try to move chapters into pre-pub before July 1 if possible. • Monograph. Deadline is July 1. FO will make judgment as to whether monograph is publishable. Right now they contemplate on by Naftali on the history of the 1C through Bush 1 and T4, also T7 and T5. Comment: the deadlines are overlapping and the requests from the FO will continue to be unexpected and tight, making it difficult for us to do the research and writing we still want to do for the monograph.

Testimony of Paul virtue Acting Executive Associate Commissioner Office of Programs Immigration and Naturalization Service Department of Justice Regarding Documents and Benefits Application Fraud Before the House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims Tuesday/ May 20, 1997, 9:30 a.m. 2237 Rayburn House Office Building

4,400 were suspected of being fraudulent. As a result of the investigations, 54 individuals were successfully prosecuted. The Government estimates that these individuals received in excess of $4,000,000 in fees for filing the fraudulent "late amnesty" applications. Of special note is the fact that Operation Desert Deception was the first time INS used extensive computer support and rudimentary data mining techniques to identify fraud trends among potentially fraudulent cases. Large scale conspiracies can no longer be investigated solely with traditional investigative techniques. Like a single money laundering transaction, an individual fraudulent application can often easily pass scrutiny, |Only through computer analysis was it determined that hundreds of individuals were simultaneously claiming to be living in the same one bedroom apartment; or that hundreds of others claimed to be living simultaneously at the same, nonexistent addresses. Moreover, alien criminals and terrorists manipulate the benefit application process to facilitate expansion of their illegal activities, such as crimes of violence, narcotics trafficking, terrorism, and entitlement fraud. For example, Mir_ Aimal Kansi, the Pakistani terrorist wanted in connection with the Central Intelligence Agency Headquarters shootings, had been issued two employment authorization documents; one after having applied for political asylum; and, one after having applied for legalization. The nexus between criminal activity and benefit fraud is also evident in the cases of suspected Russian organized crime figures who are the beneficiaries of L-l (Intra-company transferee) petitions filed by non-existent or non-operating businesses.

Richard Ben-Veniste Fred F. Fielding Jamie S. Gorelick Skde Gorton Bob Kerrey John Lehman Timothy J. Roemer James R. Thompson Philip D. Zelikow EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States ("the Commission") requests that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS or the "respondent") provide the Commission with copies of the following materials no later than February 26, 2004 (the "production date"): 1. The Alien file ("A file") for the following individuals: a. Mir Aimal Kansi, DOB: 2-10-64, COB: Pakistan. b. Qualid Moncef Benomrane, DOB: 4-29-76, COB: Tunisia, Passport No. L870243. c. Malek Mohamed Seif, DOB: 9-24-65, COB: Djibouti. d. Yazeed al Salmi, DOB: circa 1977, COB: Saudi Arabia. e. Fuad Bazarah, DOB: circa 1977, COB: Yemen. 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, thorough 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 be 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, or needs any assistance from the Commission to determine the identity of these individuals for purposes of doing accurate records searches, 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.
