Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 11:24 AM
To: TeamS 9/11 classified Information
Subject: Chapter 5 and other matters

Let's schedule a staff meeting for 10 AM tomorrow.

Meanwhile, from the FO:

PDZ made a point of saying how good all the work is. Also that there is little or no tolerance in the schedule so
it's hard work.

Chapter 5. FO produced a revised version this morning. I am redacting it of| |to make as many
pages as possible available tomorrow. The first deadline for turnaround is June 1.

Illustrations. Stephanie would like a written list by COB tomorrow. (A disk is not required, but won't be refused.)

• The T5 list should include the description, and the reason why we are proposing it. E.g. x's passport,
illustrates possible extremist indicator. Please make the list in priority order.

Cite-checking. Steve Dunne has a team of cite-checkers (Yoel, Gordon, Serena, Alexis, Raj). They will be
coming to us for assistance. They will be consolidating the number of footnotes. They will be seeking physical
copies of the back-up docs for each footnote. We will need to provide them on their timeline as requested.

Appendix. One appendix will have a list of all people interviewed, to facilitate footnoting.

• To cover our interviews we need to provide a complete list with: Name (undercover as needed, with special
arrangements for a few anonymous), Date, City.
• The FO requests a new for MFRs, which are running at about 800 out of 1500. FO recognizes that they
will not all be done even during the life of the Commission. They would like us to make a push to get what
we can by Tuesday. Any MFR that comes to me before then I will review and forward, and aim to have all
of them done that are already on hand by Monday. If we are relying on notes for citations, we are to
provide physical copies of these to the cite-checking team. We can provide draft MFRs.

Copy editor. Alice Falk starts Tuesday.

Deadlines.

• Report to pre-pub by July 1, printer by July 15. Commrs will get drafts of 1-4 starting today. (We will be
getting 4 back, and of course 2, and I am lobbying for 1 as well.) FO will try to move chapters into pre-pub
before July 1 if possible.
• Monograph. Deadline is July 1. FO will make judgment as to whether monograph is publishable. Right
now they contemplate on by Naftali on the history of the 1C through Bush 1 and T4, also T7 and T5.

Comment: the deadlines are overlapping and the requests from the FO will continue to be unexpected and tight,
making it difficult for us to do the research and writing we still want to do for the monograph.

 Testimony of

Paul virtue
Acting Executive Associate Commissioner
Office of Programs

Immigration and Naturalization Service

Department of Justice

Regarding

Documents and Benefits Application Fraud

Before the House Judiciary Committee

Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims

Tuesday/ May 20, 1997, 9:30 a.m.

2237 Rayburn House Office Building
4,400 were suspected of being fraudulent. As a result of the
investigations, 54 individuals were successfully prosecuted. The
Government estimates that these individuals received in excess of
$4,000,000 in fees for filing the fraudulent "late amnesty"
applications.

Of special note is the fact that Operation Desert Deception

was the first time INS used extensive computer support and
rudimentary data mining techniques to identify fraud trends among
potentially fraudulent cases. Large scale conspiracies can no
longer be investigated solely with traditional investigative
techniques. Like a single money laundering transaction, an
individual fraudulent application can often easily pass scrutiny, |-
Only through computer analysis was it determined that hundreds of
individuals were simultaneously claiming to be living in the same
one bedroom apartment; or that hundreds of others claimed to be
living simultaneously at the same, nonexistent addresses.

Moreover, alien criminals and terrorists manipulate the

benefit application process to facilitate expansion of their
illegal activities, such as crimes of violence, narcotics
trafficking, terrorism, and entitlement fraud. For example, Mir_
Aimal Kansi, the Pakistani terrorist wanted in connection with the
Central Intelligence Agency Headquarters shootings, had been issued
two employment authorization documents; one after having applied
for political asylum; and, one after having applied for
legalization. The nexus between criminal activity and benefit
fraud is also evident in the cases of suspected Russian organized
crime figures who are the beneficiaries of L-l (Intra-company
transferee) petitions filed by non-existent or non-operating
businesses.
