Jamie S. Gorelick Dear Captain Marriott:
Slade Gorton
On behalf of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United
John F. Lehman States, and pursuant to the Economy Act (31 U.S.C. 1535 and 1536), I am
Timothy J. Roemer
writing to request transportation support for a Commission staff delegation to
Afghanistan and Pakistan between October 20-29, 2003.
James R. Thompson
Philip D. Zelikow, the Commission's Executive Director, will lead the three-
Philip D. Zelikow member staff delegation to Afghanistan and Pakistan, departing from and
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR returning to Doha, Qatar. The proposed itinerary is enclosed at Appendix A.
Dr. Zelikow will be joined by C. Michael Hurley and Kevin J. Scheid of the
Commission staff. Please refer to Appendix B for their full names, positions,
SSNs, DOBs, and number of parcels.

In addition to providing these pertinent details, I can also certify that 1) the
proposed travel is in the national interest; 2) commercial transportation is
inadequate; 3) the travel is for official purposes; and 4) the Commission will
reimburse the Department of Defense for the support it provides.

1) National Interest. The 9-11 Commission is chartered to prepare a full and

complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001,
terrorist attacks, and provide recommendations to guard against future attacks.
This travel furthers both aspects of our mandate, thereby advancing the
national interest.

2) Commercial Aircraft Unavailable/Inadequate. Commercial aircraft is

unavailable in Afghanistan. Due to the sensitivity of the mission, it is the
judgment of the Commission—and its advisers in the State and Defense
Departments—that commercial aircraft in Pakistan poses too great a security
risk for Commission travelers.

Furthermore, these individuals will be traveling as non-pro couriers and

transporting classified information. Military aircraft is therefore strongly
preferred in order to avoid the unauthorized seizure of such materials.

3) For Official Use Only. All aspects of the proposed travel are for
Commission business, and, therefore, for official purposes.

4) Reimbursement. The Commission is prepared to reimburse the

Department of Defense for the requested transportation support. The
following information should facilitate the transfer of funds in a timely matter:

Fund Code 978

Organ. Code Til91100
ALC 47000016
Fed Code AA
Treasury Symbol 093/41501

The Commission's internal billing information for cost code and cost element
is: 978 Tl 191100 00 21 000 111.

Thank you very much for your prompt consideration of this request. The
proposed travel is vital to developing a full understanding of the 9-11 attacks
and the prosecution of the war on terrorism. If you require any further
information regarding this request, please contact my special assistant,
Stephanie Kaplan, at (202) 331-1125.

Sincerely,

Thomas H. Kean
