l writing on behalf of Thomas Blanton, director of the National Security Archive, This letter
constitutes an administrative appeal in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA),
5 USC Sec. 552, of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) response to a FOIA request submitted
October 16, 2006, asking for documents related in whole or in part to then CIA Director George
Tenet's meeting with then National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice on July 10, 2001
(Attachment 1). The CIA's response letter of March 11, 2009, said that the Agency considers
responsive records properly classified in full under FOIA exemptions (b)(1), (b)(3), and (b)(5)
(Attachment 2).
First, I would like to call the Panel's attention to the fact that information regarding the July 10,
2001 meeting between George Tenet and Condoleezza Rice has been made publicly available. In
October 2006, both the Washington Post and the New York Times described the meeting,
including the general substance of that meeting (Attachments 3 and 4), which has also been
described in Bob Woodward's book, State qfDenial, Bush at War Part III.
Previously classified records about terrorist threats in 2001 have already been declassified and
made available to the public, and I have enclosed one such document-a January 2001 National
Security Council memorandum to Condoleezza Rice (Attachment 5), This document provides
significant factual detail, and the release of this document in 2004 did not cause harm to national
security, It follows, therefore, that releasing materials about this July 2001 meeting will not
cause harm to national security now, almost 8 years after September 11, 2001-the threat that
was most likely the subject of the meeting.
An independent non-governmental research institute and library located at the George Washington University, the Archive collects
and publishes declassified documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. Publication royalties and tax deductible
contributions through The Nannnai Qe ,,ate
I also question the application of Exemption (b)(5) to documents related to this meeting,
for several reasons. First, according to reports, there was no attorney present at the
meeting, and therefore, the information cannot fall under any kind of attorney or work
product privilege. Second, the meeting did not result in a policy decision. In fact, one
complaint has been levied against Rice that she did not respond to the wings by Tenet
from this meeting or other meetings. Therefore, records related to this meeting should not
be withheld on the basis of being "predecisional" as there was no decision made, no
policy pursued. Finally, the meeting involved factual information (the imminent terrorist
threat) in addition to recommendations about policy, and I urge the Agency Release Panel
to make this distinction.
At this time, I would like to take this opportunity to remind the Agency Release Panel
that the Freedom of Information Act mandates that an agency must release portions of a
record that are not exempt if those nonexempt portions are "reasonably segregable." This
particularly applies to the factual information that was relayed in the meeting between
Tenet and Rice. I urge the Panel to fully execute this requirement, as mandated by law,
and reconsider the withholding of this document,
As you review my appeal, please consider the recent Memorandum on the Freedom of
Information Act issued by President Barack Obama on January 21, 2009, which directs
all agencies to "adopt a presumption in favor of disclosure" and apply this presumption
"to all decisions involving FOIA_" President Obama also makes clear that "[t]he
Government should not keep information confidential merely because public officials
might be embarrassed by disclosure, because errors and failures might be revealed, or
because of speculative or abstract fears." Pursuant to this directive, I ask that you
consider whether the information withheld in response to my FOIA request should be
released in light of the new presumption of disclosure.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Records Show Tenet Briefed Rice on Al Qaeda ? Threat
By 2 T SHE d
JIDDA, Saudi Arabia, Oct, 2 - A review of White House records has determined that
lmd, then the director of central intelligence, did brief Condol e2aa 12'a and other top
officials on July lo, 2001, about the looming threat from ALQaeda, a State Department
spokesman said Monday.
The account by Sean McCormack came hours after Ms. Rice, the secretary of state, told
reporters aboard her airplane that she did not recall the specific meeting on July 10, 20d1,
noting that she had met repeatedly with Mr. Tenet that summer about terrorist threats.
Rice, the national security adviser at the time, said it was "incomprehensible" she ignored AT&
dire
terrorist threats two months before the Sept. ii attacks,
Mr. McCormack also said records show that the Sept, ii commission was informed about the
meeting, a fact that former intelligence officials and members of the commission confirmed on
Monday.
When details of the meeting emerged last week in a new book by Bob Woodward of The
Washington post, Bush administration officials questioned Mr. Wood rd's reporting,
Now, after several days, both current and former Bush administration officials have confirmed
parts of Mr. Wood ward's account.
Officials now agree that on July 10, 2001, Mr. Tenet and his counterterrorism deputy, J. Cofer
Black, were so alarmed about an impending Al Qaeda attack that they demanded emergency
meeting at the White House with Ms, ice and her National See, o ,n 9 staff.
According to two former intelligence officials, Mr. Tenet told those assembled at the White
House about the growing body of intelligence the Central Tntehl_iaenee en had collected
pointing to an impending Al Qaeda attack. But both current and former officials took issue
with Mr, Wood rd's account that Mr. Tenet and his aides left the meeting in tration,
feeling as if Ms. Rice had ignored them.
Records Show Tenet Briefed Rice on Al Qaeda Threat - New York Times Page 2 of 3
Mr. Tenet told members of the Sept. sx commission about the July to meeting when they
interviewed him in early 2004, but committee members said the former C.I_A, director never
indicated he had left the White House with the impression that he had been ignored.
"Tenet never told us that he was brushed off," said Richard Ben$Teniste, a Democratic member
of the commission, "We certainly would have followed that up,"
Mr. McCormack said the records showed that, far from ignoring Mr. Tenet's warnings, Ms.
Rice acted on the intelligence and requested that Mr. Tenet make the same presentation to
Defense Secretary Donald 1T I~cl and Atttorney General J_ghn AsI ro4 .
But Mr. Ashcroft said by telephone on Monday evening that he never received a briefing that
summer from Mr. Tenet,
" Frankly, I'm disappointed that I didn't get that kind of briefing," he said. "I'm surprised he
didn't think it was important enough to come by and tell me,"
The dispute that has played out in recent days gives further evidence of escalating battle
between the White House and Mr. Tenet over who should take the blame for such mistakes
the failure to stop the Sept, a attacks and assertions by Bush administration officials that
stockpiling chemical and biological weapons and cultivating ties to Al
Mr. Tenet resigned as director of central intelligence in the s mer of 2004 and was honored
that December with a Presidential Medal of Freedom during a White House ceremony. Since
leaving the C.I.A., Mr. Tenet has stayed out of the public eye, largely declining to defend his
record at the C.I.A. even after several government investigations have assailed the faulty
intelligence that helped build the case for the Iraq war.
Mr. Tenet is now completing work on a memoir that is scheduled to be published early next
year.
It is unclear how muchMr, Tenet will use the book to settle old scores, although recent books
have portrayed Mr. Tenet both as dubious about the need for the Iraq war and angry that the
White House has made the C.I.A. the primary scapegoat for the wax.
In his book "The One Percent Doctrine," the journalist and author Ron Sus ' d quotes Mr.
Tenet's former deputy at the C?I?A., John McLaughlin, saying that Mr. Tenet "wishes he could
give that damn medal back."
Records Show Tenet Briefed Rice on Al Qaeda Tbreat m New York Times Page 3 of 3
In his own book Mr. Woodward wrote that over time Mr. Tenet developed a particular dislike
for Ms. Rice, and that the former C.I.A. director was furious when she publicly blamed the
agency for allowing President Bush to make the false claim in the 2003 State of the Union
dress that Saddam Hussein was pursuing nuclear materials in Niger.
"If the C.LA., the Director of National Intelligence, had said ` e this out of the speech,' it
would have been gone, without question," Ms. Rice told reporters in July 2003.
In fact, the C.I.A. had told the White House months before that the Niger intelligence was
bogus and had managed to keep the claim out of an October 2002 speech that President Bush
gave in Cincinnati.
More recently, Mr. Tenet has told friends that he was particularly angry when, appearing
recently on Sunday talk shows, both Ms. Rice and Vice President Dick her, gv cited Mr. Tenet
by name as the reason that Bush administration officials asserted that Mr. Hussein had
stockpiles of banned weapons in Iraq and ties to Al Qaeda.
Mr. Cheney recalled during appearance on "Meet the Press" on Sept. io of this year: "George
Tenet sat in the Oval Office and the president of the United States asked him directly, he said,
`George, how good is the case against Saddarn on weapons of mass de ction?' the director of
the C.I.A. said, `It's a slam dunk, Mr. President, it's a slam dunk.' "

Tenet Recalled Warning ice
Former CIA Chief Told 9/11 Commission of Disputed
Meeting
By Dan Eggen and Robin Wright
wasbington Post Staff Writers
Tuesday, October 3, 2006; A03
Former CIA director George Tenet told the 9/11
Commission that he had warned of imminent threat
from al-Qaeda in a July 2001 meeting with
Condoleezza Rice, adding that he believed Rice took
the warning seriously, according to a transcript of the
interview and the recollection of a commissioner who
was there.
Tenet's statements to the commission in January 2004 corrinot the outlines of event in a new book by
Washington Post Assistant Managing Editor Bob Woodward that has been disputed by some Bush
administration officials, But the testimony also is at odds with Woodward's depiction of Tenet and
former CIA counterterrorism chief J. Cofer Black as being frustrated that "they were not getting through
to Rice" after the July 10, 2001, meeting.
Rice angrily rejected those assertions yesterday, saying that it was "incomprehensible" that she would
have ignored such explicit intelligence from senior CIA officials and that she received no warning at the
meeting of an attack within the United States.
Rice acknowledged that the White House was receiving a "steady stream of quite alarmist reports of
potential attacks" during that period, but said the targets were assumed to bean the Middle East,
including Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Israel and Jordan,
"What I quite certain of, however, is that I would remember if I was told -- as this account
apparently says -- that there was about to be attack in the United States," Rice said. "The idea that I
would somehow have ignored that I find incomprehensible."
The meeting has become the focus of a fierce and often confusing round of finger.poiuting involving
Rice, the White House and the 9/11 Commission, all of whom dispatched staffers to the National
Archives and other locations yesterday in attempts to sort out what had occurred,
Members of the co ssion -- independent, bipartisan panel created by Congress to investigate the
Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks -- have said for days that they were not told about the July 10 meeting
and
were at being left out. As recently as yesterday afternoon, both commission
chairman
omas H.
Kean and vice chairman Lee Hamilton said they believed the panel had not been told abot the July 10
meeting,

It was at this session that Tenet said "the system was blinking red," which became a chapter title in the
co ssion report, according to the official who saw the transcript.
According to three people present at the session, including Ben-Veniste, Tenet believed that Rice
responded seriously to what she had been told. "We particularly questioned him about whether he had
the sense that Dr. Rice and the others on the White House side understood the gravity of what he was
telling th ," said Ben-Veniste, a former Watergate prosecutor. "He said that they believed that they

"If in fact they were making visits to craphasize the severity of the domestic threat, I'm a little

Ben.Veniste`s comments seem to contradict his own remarks over the weekend to the New York Times,
in which he said that "the meeting was never mentioned to us." -Veniste said yesterday that there
was confusion between two different meetings and that the meeting described by Tenet is different in
character from the one portrayed by Woodward.
Zelikow, who now works as one of Rice's closest aides as a State Department counselor, did not respond
to a request for comment yesterday. He told the New York Times that none of the co ission`s
witnesses had drawn attention to a July 10 meeting or had outlined the type of confrontation with Rice
described by Woodward,

she said she did tell President Bush that he might want to consider ch

"I did tell the president at one point that I thought maybe all of us should go, because we had fought two
wars and had the largest terrorist attack in American history," Rice said. "When he asked me to be
secretary of state, I said I think maybe you need new people. I don't know if that was somehow
interpreted, but what I was actually ? i about was me."
