documents
from
NORAD that fit this description, please confirm it to us in writing.

NEADS Transcript (Document
#NCT0000049-0000130):
This document is a transcript
from
multiple voice recorders at NEADS on
9/11.
For whatever reason, the transcript cuts
off
around 10:15 am. Our question is whether the tapes
and/or
transcript continued
recording
after 10:15
am, and if
not,
why
not.
If
there
are
recordings beyond this point,
wewould
like to receive a tape and/or transcript of them.

Col. Scott Materials (Request No.
1-10):
We spoke to Janet about this issue Friday
afternoon
andthis morning.Iunderstand that Col. Scott faxedhersome materials overthe
weekend
which we
will
be receiving soon. We'll await the delivery of those documents toassess whether this requesthasbeen completed.

Atlantic City Fighters:
In the
documents
we
have received thus
far we
have seen various
cryptic
references to fighters that NORAD may have scrambled (or attempted to) out of
Atlantic
City. Before requesting all of the documents from Atlantic City, we are looking to
answer
the basic question, "Did NORAD call upon fighters
and/or
other assets from Atlantic
City
on the morning of 9/11
?"
If so, then I will formulate a request for the Atlantic Citydocuments we need. If not, then we
will
simply seek clarification of this issue in ourinterviews.
(5)
Rules of Engagement (Request No. 1-5):
This request asked
for the
NORAD
ROE
concerning hijackings in effect on
9/11/0.
We neglected to ask for (and need) the ROEs in
effect
post-9/11.
Specifically, the New York Times and other papers reported onSeptember 27, 2001 ("A Nation Challenged: The Military; Generals Given Power to Order
Downing
of Jets") that "President Bush had authorized two midlevel Air Force generals to
order
commercial airliners that threaten American cities shot
down..."
We are
seeking
all
documents
related
to
this
change in the Rules of Engagement, as
well
any
subsequent
changes that
may
have
occurred
since
that
time.
Please
let me
know
if you
have
any
questions regarding this request.

Call Lists for Various Conferences (Request Nos.
1-3,1-1):
At the NMCC briefing welearned about the various conferences that took place on 9/11 (i.e. Significant EventConference and Air Threat Conference), as well as the new conferences that have beendeveloped since then (Domestic Event and Domestic Threat). We are seeking the JCS list
of
standing participants for these calls, both now and in effect on
9/11.
That is, we need
the
list of agencies (and numbers) that would have been called on 9/11 to participate in theSignificant Event and Air Threat Conferences, as well as the call
list
today for the Domestic
Event
and Threat Conferences.
(7)
NORAD Exercises (Request Nos.
11
&12):
In these requests we asked for the"intelligence scenarios" and "briefing papers" for various DoD and NORAD exercises. We
are
in the
process
of
reviewing these materials
but it
appears that
we are
lacking some
ofthe
"intelligence scenarios" for specific exercises; if that turns out to be the case I will followup with you on specifics. However, we also need (and neglected to specifically request)
the
"lessons learned" from these exercises.Thank you again. Dana
