MEMORANDUM FOR DAN MARCUS


NATIONAL COMMISSION ON TERRORIST ATTACKS UPON THE UNITED STATES

SUBJECT: National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the


United States Request for Information Request

This is in response to the National Commission on Terrorist


Attacks Upon the United States latest request for visa records.

In a November 3 e-mail message, Mr. Tom Eldrige of the


Commission requested "the first visa application (granted on
4/9/99) of Salem Mohammed Salem Al Hazmi, DOB 2-2-81, Place of
Birth: Mecca, Saudi passport C562647 OR 582647," which it
believes is covered by the Commission's second document request.
We forwarded the Commission's request to the U.S. Consulate
General in Jeddah.

The Consulate General in Jeddah reports that Salem Al Hazmi


received a visa from them in 2001. The Commission has received
copies of these records.

According to the Consular Section, it was his brother,


Nawaf MS Al Hazmi, who received visa record 1999093 825 2 on
April 3, 1999 in Jeddah. The consular section in Jeddah,
searched the Jeddah NIV and the CCD, and found that no other
visas were ever issued to Salem other than the one in 2001.
Please note that all visa issuance records from 1999 were
destroyed at post according to policies in effect before
September 11, 2001.

The Al Hazmi brothers were from Mecca. They were not in


the CLASS record when issued visas in 1999 or 2001.

Please note the above response contains information that is


protected from disclosure under Section 222(f) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1202 (f), and, in
accordance with that law, may only be used for the "formulation,

SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED


SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED

amendment, administration, or enforcement of the immigration,


nationality, or other laws of the United States."

Further, this should be considered "Sensitive but


Unclassified" because it contains confidential visa information.
Therefore, we request that the Commission protect this
information from unauthorized disclosure.

We hope this information is useful to you. As always,


please do not hesitate to contact us if you have further
questions.

To: paulaw@state.gov
Cc: sginsburg@9-11commission.gov; 'Janice Kephart-Roberts'
Subject: request for additional information on hijacker records
Paula -

I thought I would contact you since you have been our contact person on visa information requests.

I do not believe that the Commission has received any data (CCD or other) on the first visa application (granted on 4/9/99) of
Salem Mohammed Salem Al Hazmi, DOB 2-2-81, Place of Birth: Mecca, Saudi passport C562647 OR 582647 (I am not sure
which). We would like unredacted copies of all State Department records in connection with this application.

He was one of the hijackers. We did receive the CCD data and his application for his visa granted him on June 20, 2001 in
Jeddah. That information probably had been collected in connection with the GAO investigation. The GAO did not include
information on Hazmi's 1999 visa in their report.

The earlier visa information is covered by our document request #2.

Please let me know if locating and producing this information will pose any problem for State, or if you believe I should direct this
request elsewhere.

Thanks.
