Doug, The Commission staff will be patient while the FAA "re-labels" or "re-identifies" tape recordings of Herndon Command Center tapes previously provided to the Commission. Unfortunately, the same CAN NOT BE SAID with respect to CC tapes NOT previously given to the Commission. When we met on Friday, February 20, 2004, Commission staff identified at least 3 recorded lines at the NOM Position # 34, 3 recorded lines at the TCA Position # 33,1 recorded line at the ZNY Position # 14 and 1 recorded line at the NTMO East Position # 26 that WERE NEVER PREVIOUSLY GIVEN TO THE COMMISSION. These tapes should have been given to the Commission months ago in response to formal written requests given to the FAA in the spring of 2003 and the Subpoena served on the FAA in October 2003. It is imperative that the Commission staff receive the materials immediately. The review of the materials is essential to the completion of the staffs investiagtion of the events of 9-11. I and the Commission really appreciate your personal efforts to resolve this issue and we understand that you inherited this task late in the game. Please understand our frustration given how critical the receipt of ALL CC tapes is to our work. Please also let me know when we can expect to receive the tapes not previously provided to us. Thank you very much for your help to date and for your anticipated prompt response to this very important inquiry.

John, The Command Center should be able to turn around most of the tapes very quickly. Those tapes that diey are not able to identify willl take some time, based on when you can provide the rest back to us. It's based on a process of elimenation if they cannot identify them by the label or listening. I will be available Either Tuesday or Wednesday depending on a pre deployment briefing, which has yet to be determined. So for know pick a day. Thanks Doug Gould Office of Air traffic Investiagtions -ATO-R

Doug, This e-mail follows up 2 issues we discussed on February 20, 2004. First, could you please give us a status update on the production of All CC lines to the Commission, particualrly the NOM position # 34 tapes and the TCA position # 33 tapes. To date, we have received only 1 of the 4 recorded lines from the NOM position and 1 of the 4 recorded lines from the TCA position. These recordings were requested on previous occasions dating back to the spring of last year and are the subject of the subpoena served on the FA A in October 2003. We need these materials to complete our work. Second, we would like to conduct your interview before you leave the country. Are you available to be interviewed on Tuesday, March 9th or Wednesday, March 10th? Thank you for your assistance and your anticiapted prompt response to this very important request.
