Just want to keep you in the loop on this. I mentioned asked me to get back to Peggy on this visit, and it seems like (b)(6)
there will be 2 days of visits next week (4, 5 August). I will track down an electrician and someone from the history staff
to come along on the technical walkaround.
Thanks,

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Wow. You made my day.
(b)(6)
I will certainly get you all the bio info ASAP: names and SS#s.
The electrician would actually be needed on August 5th only, during the tech scout. We will arrive there around
3 or 3:30pm on both days.
We are thrilled with the opportunity to film at the CIA and guarantee that all filming details are subject to your
approval.
Thank you.

Hello! We met when you visited a few weeks back with Ben, Sharon, and Chris. I hope you're able to avoid the
worst of the DC heat this weekend (I think I'd take our west coast friends' travails with Carmaggedon over this
humidity nonsense).

know you've mentioned that to
Thank you for the update on the planned shooting date. I'm sure we will discuss this further when we are
assembled in August.
I am writing with answers to some of the questions you have been discussing with who has recently(b)(3)
become acting director of Public Affairs. continues to closely follow this project's development, but(b)(3)
you'd expect, she has quite a number of other things on her plate. (b)(6)
First off, we are a go for your visit on August 4th and 5th. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you
back and sort out some of the technical issues. I will try to arrange to have an electrician on hand (I assume this
is only necessary on 4 August?). We will also have you see the main front exterior, lobby, and adjacent corridor
on both days. I will inquire about gaining access to the inner courtyard for lighting purposes, but that might be a
little tricky.
In terms of a room for extras/catering, etc, one space in particular springs to mind as being able to accommodate
around people. We should be able to view it on one of the two days you're here. As I'm sure you (b)(3)
understand, given the kind of facility we have, it's important to keep the folks on-site to an absolute minimum. I

In the meantime, we will just need the biographical data (Full names, SSNs) for all visitors including drivers, as
before.
If you have any more questions as the 4 August visit nears just let me know. I look forward to seeing you then!
Best,
