PRIVILEGED ATTORNEY COMMUNICATION
DO NOT RELEASE ABSENT GC APPROVAL

Steve,

I would like to schedule the Briefing Request No. 1 briefing for the
afternoon of July 15 or 17. I left a message for Barbara Grewe to call me
to discuss. Can I get her e-mail address?

Additionally, when we met with Kevin Scheid, we offered to give a background

briefing on NSA. We would still like to do this briefing. I believe the
briefing will take about two hours. We could probably do the briefing the
morning of July 9 or the afternoon of July 15 or 17 (with the other
briefing). Should I also coordinate this briefing with Barbara?

Karen

Steve,

As you know from our conversation yesterday, we did indeed receive the
Commission's request. We will provide a MOU to you shortly.

Miles --

To my knowledge, and Col. Sweatt was not present during my conversation

with Steve Cambone, no one has ever committed to routing NSA document
requests through DOD. I've seen no sign that this happened in the case
of the JI.

In any case, NSA has designated a POC in response to a White House

request that addressed them. We will continue to work through that POC,
cc'ing Ciongoli. DOD's broader relationship to NSA on this is their
business. I understand the wider agenda at work. But if they want to
make NSA clear activities with them, etc., that's their business, not
ours.

Philip

Dan, Steve

I talked to Susan Sweatt this morning and she informed me that there
were NSA
document requests in the works that were not coming thru Dr. Cambone.
Her
understanding was that all DoD requests, to include NSA, NIMA and NRO
would
come thru big DoD, without exception. She bases that understanding on
Phil's
conversation with Cambone and Haver. She had no specificity so I am
passing
the DoD concern along to you.

FYI, the Joint Inquiry treated NSA separate from DoD and dealt with the

Agency
directly. That was Brit Snider's call before I got on board. I would
have
done it differently. We also dealt directly with NIMA and DIA, but to a
lesser
degree.

When I got on board I realized Brit had not engaged big DoD, so we
ginned up a
letter to the chiefs of LL for both big DoD and JCS to attempt to mend
that ;
fence. That worked indifferently even with a push from Eleano'r until we
had a
couple of serious sit down meetings with DoD OGC and ASD C3I (this was
before
USD(I) existed)

In retrospect, Brit may have had it right, for his purposes. We got a
lot done
before big DoD woke up to the facts of what we were doing. We
interviewed Rich
Haver, twice, with no minders present, for example. Also got to ASD
SOLIC for
a key interview, unattended.

Regardless, the legacy you have is that big DoD is not about to let the
intel
agencies have the degree of latitude they had with the Joint Inquiry.

One of the e-mail addresses I sent was incorrect. The address is alys@dodgc.osd.mil. Sorry for the confusion.
