Dear John:
As you know, this firm, along with O'Melveny & Myers LLP, represents the Massachusetts Port
Authority ("Massport") in connection with certain matters arising out of the terrorist hijackings
and attacks of September 11, 2001. On behalf of Massport, we submit the enclosed documents
as the next installment in our "rolling" production to the National Commission on Terrorist
Attacks upon the United States (the "Commission").
Pursuant to our prior discussions with counsel to the Commission AND Daniel Marcus' letter of
November 4, 2003, we understand that, during the pendency of its inquiry, the Commission will
maintain all documents produced by Massport (the "Subject Documents")—whether or not they
contain or constitute Sensitive Security Information, as defined by 49 C.F.R. § 1520 ("SSI")—in
nonpublic files and will not publicly disclose the Subject Documents. We further understand
that, upon the conclusion of its work, the Commission will cause the Subject Documents to be
deposited with the National Archives, where they will be subject to appropriate restrictions as to
their availability to the public. In the event that the Commission intends to cite or refer to the
Subject Documents in its final public report or in a public hearing conducted by the Commission,
we understand that the Commission will give us prior notice of its intention to do so. Should the
Commission be served or otherwise presented with any third party subpoena or other request for
the Subject Documents, we also understand that the Commission will provide us timely notice of
such subpoena or request. Finally, we understand that the Commission, with the assistance of
the Department of Justice, intends to resist, through all appropriate means, any effort to seek the
public disclosure of the Subject Documents, whether by means of a subpoena or otherwise.
GOODWIN;PROCTER
With this understanding, we are producing under cover of this letter the documents identified on
the index attached as Exhibit A. This production consists of electronic mail retrieved from
Massport's Outlook servers that is responsive to Document Request No. 1 issued to Massport by
the Commission dated August 29, 2003 ("Request"). Please note that, as additional responsive,
non-privileged documents are located, we will promptly produce them.
Massport has received authorization from the U.S. Transportation Security Administration
("TSA") to release the Subject Documents to the Commission subject to the restrictions on
disclosure contained in the Non-Disclosure Agreements signed by those members of the
Commission's staff that will have access to the Subject Documents. For your information, we
have affixed a legend to each document that the TSA has indicated may contain or constitute
SSI.
Please call me at the number listed above should you have any question or wish to discuss any
aspect of this matter.
Sincerely,
Christopher D. Moore
