Request
No. 2
Philip,
Chris, Dan, Steve,
This
morning, DOJ's Faith Burton telephoned
me
regarding
DOJ
Document Request
No.
2.
Faith advised that #8
under
"Items Requested" was
particularly
broad in
terms of the
number
of
documents
it
would capture.
#8
reads:"DOJ documentsprepared
or
produced from September
20,
2001 through
the
present that discuss
the
September
11
attacks
or
retrospective analysis
of
al
Qa'ida's activities
before the
September
11 attacks."She
said that
DOJ
personnel responding
to
this request were asking
foradditional
guidance because such
a
large volume
of
documents could
be
understood
to be
related
to
this request. Many
of
these documents, however,were very
far
down
in the
weeds
and
Faith
did not
believe they would hold
any
interest
for
us.
She
said that producing
all
these documents, many
of
whichwould hold no value, would slow the process down.
She
made clear that
DoJ is
committed
to
responding
to the
Commission's needs,
but
asked
for clarification and
assistance
in
narrowing
the
request
to
make
itmore
manageable
and
responsive
to
what
we
actually need.
I
told
her
that,
from
the
Counterterrorism Policy Team's perspective,
we areinterestedin
significant documents that came
to the
attention
of the AG, the
Deputy
AG, and the DoJ rep to
Dick
Clarke's CSG;
documents that informed
thepositions
these senior officials took/advocated
at the
deputies
and
principals'
level.Faith
said
she
found this narrowing
of #8
helpful
and
that
it
would speed
production.She
made clear
her
understanding that
by
narrowing
the
request
somewhat we are not
giving
up any
rights
to
expand
the
request should
ourinvestigation
require.
