THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE


WASHINGTON, D.C. 20505

April 14, 2004

Mr. Timothy Roemer


National Commission on Terrorist
Attacks Upon the United States
301 7th Street SW
Room 5125
Washington, DC 20407

Dear Commissioner Roemer:

During my testimony today a question arose about when I saw President


Bush during August 2001. Unfortunately, my answer may have given you the
wrong impression,

The President was in Texas during most of August 2001, I did fly down to
brief him on Friday August 17,2001 and also briefed him in Washington when he
returned on Friday August 31, 2001.

During the time the President was in Texas, he was accompanied by a


senior CIA analyst who briefed him on average six days a week. That briefer
was in regular communication with CIA Headquarters and often directly with me.

Additionally, I met with the President in Washington at least six times


during the first eight days of September.

I hope this information is helpful in clarifying my contact with the White


House during this significant period.
