Dear Mr. Marcus:

This responds to the Commission's Document Request No. 15 to the Department, which
requested memoranda reporting on the substance of interviews of five individuals, which were
conducted by the Attorney General's Review Team on the Handling of the Los Alamos National
Laboratory Investigation.

Enclosed are five classified documents, totaling 28 pages, provided by the United States
Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia in response to this Request. We trust that
the Commission will handle and store these documents in accordance with the requirements
relating to their classification.

I hope that this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact this Office if you
would like additional assistance regarding this or any other matter.

Sincerely,

William E. Moschella

Dear Mr. Marcus:

This supplements our previous responses to the Commission's Document Request No. 13
to the Department, which requested materials in four categories relating to the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and information sharing matters.

Enclosed are two documents, totaling 15 pages, that were provided by the Department's
Executive Secretariat in response to this request and that may have been previously provided to
the Commission in response to another Request. We will supply Bates stamped versions of these
materials in the near future.

We also have two classified documents, totaling 38 pages, from the Office of the Deputy
Attorney General in which the Department has substantial confidentiality interests because they
are deliberative in character and contain advice and recommendations that would not usually be
disclosed outside of the Executive Branch. We are prepared to make these documents available
for review at the Department by appropriately cleared Commission staff at their convenience.

Finally, on April 30, 2004, we provided the Commission with a complete copy of
Appendix D to the Bellows Report, which is a classified collection of fifty-five documents,
pursuant to your agreement that it would not be disclosed outside of the Commission and any
documents that we determine should be made available for access only will be returned to the
Department. We have now determined that the Department has substantial confidentiality
interests in only the last three documents in the collection because they are deliberative in
character and contain advice and recommendations that would not usually be disclosed outside of
the Executive Branch. Accordingly, we would like to make arrangements to retrieve those
documents from the Commission in the near future and they will, of course, remain available for
staff review at the Department.
 I hope that this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would
like additional assistance regarding this matter.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Marcus:

This supplements our previous response today to the Commission's Document Request
No. 13 to the Department, which requested materials in four categories relating to the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and information sharing matters.

Enclosed is Appendix D to the Bellows Report, which is classified and responsive to the
first category of the Request, which we are providing pursuant to your agreement that it will not
be disclosed outside of the Commission and any documents that we determine should be made
available for access only will be returned to the Department. We have not yet had an opportunity
to review this collection of fifty-five document to evaluate our deliberative process interests and,
as noted in our prior letter today, several of the documents have already been made available to
the Commission. We will advise the Commission further when our review of the Appendix is
complete with regard to whether any of the documents should be returned to the Department for
further review in accordance with our practice concerning sensitive deliberative process
materials.

We also have enclosed additional unclassified documents in response to Request 13,

which originated with the Office of Intelligence Policy and Review and, like other documents
produced today, have not yet been formally processed. We will supply Bates stamped versions
of these materials in the near future.

I hope that this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would
like additional assistance regarding this matter.

Sincerely,

William E. Moschella
Assistant Attorney general
