Dear Pat:
Frederick F. Fielding

Jamie S. Gorelick Thank you for taking on the task of facilitating the Commission's needs within
the Department of Defense. We have made great progress since you came on
Slade Gorton
board in terms of establishing the procedures and communications necessary to
John F. Lehman conduct our review. At the same time, I am writing to express our concern with
the current pace of the document production.
Timothy J. Roemer

James R. Thompson As you know, on May 12,2003, the Commission submitted to the Department of
Defense Document Request No. 1 (attached hereto), which asked the Department
to provide the Commission with various categories of documents by May 23,
Philip D. Zetikow
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 2003. In response to that request, the Commission has received two sets of
documents; the first on June 3, 2003, and the second on June 13,2003. (Also
attached are the indexes accompanying each set of documents). It is now nearly
one month past the production date, and, as far as we can discern, at least half of
the documents sought by DoD Document Request No. 1 are still outstanding.

Similarly, on May 20, 2003, the Commission submitted to the Department

Document Request No. 2 (attached hereto), which asked the Department to
furnish the Commission with access to the documents and materials of the Naval
Historical Center by June 3, 2003. Indeed, this request had been made informally
even earlier. To date we have not received any response to this request,

As you are aware, the Commission is operating under a statutory deadline and is
charged with the responsibility to investigate a number of different areas. While
we understand the size of the Department and the various components these
documents must pass through, the calendar simply does not allow for significant
further delays. If there is something we can do to facilitate the process of
production, please let us know. Absent that, I look forward to hearing from you
where we stand with regard to the aforementioned requests.

Sincerely,

Marcus
General Counsel 301 7'1' Street SW, Room 5125
