Re: (U) Documents Responsive to Item No. 5 of DCI

Document Request No. 8

Dear Mr. Marcus:

(U) This is our latest response to Item No. 5 of DCI

Document. Request No. 8 (DR #8),- dated 3 July 2003, issued by The
National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States
(the "Commission"). In your memorandum of 26 August 2003, you
identify Item No. 5 as among the "most important categories of
documents requested by the Commission."

(U) The first page of each document covered by this

production has been sequentially bates-stamped. In this, and
all future document productions, the first two digits of the
bates-stamp identifies the specific DCI Document Request to
which the document responds and the remaining digits refer to
the document number.

(U) This production consists of documents that were

originally included in the group of documents that are
responsive to Item No. 5 of DR #8 and were produced to the
Commission under cover of my 17 October 2003 letter to you. The
enclosed documents were removed from the 17 October production

and replaced with placeholders notifying the Commission of their

removal, because the documents required further internal review
and coordination. Our coordination of the document is now
complete and the documents (bates-stamped as Nos. 0800389A,
0800390A, 0800390B, 0800392A, 0800392B, 0800399A) may now be
substituted for the placeholders inserted in the compilation of
documents produced on 17 October 2003. The documents covered by
this letter bear numbers that end in "A" or "B", indicating that
the document should be inserted into the document previously
produced that bears the identical number. (For example,
0800389A should be placed into document No. 0800389.)

(U) If you or any of the Commission staffers have any

questions regarding the manner in which the referenced documents
should be inserted into the materials produced on
17 October 2003, please contact me at I 9/11 closed by statute

(U) All of these documents are, by prior agreement, being

retained by the Agency and are available for your inspection at

(U) Second, please note that the inclusion of talking

points as part of the Agency's response to Item No. 5 of DR #8
does not mean that such talking points were actually used by the
DCI in meeting with the National Security Advisor. In addition,
the listing of topics in the talking points does not establish
that the DCI and the National Security Advisor actually

discussed the topic. Likewise, the absence of talking points

concerning a particular subject does not establish that the
topic was not discussed between the officials, but only that no
talking points were drafted for the topic.
