General Counsel

Upon the United States
301 7th Street SW, Room 5125
Dear Dan:
This is in response to your letter of June 13, 2003 inquiring about the status of the
Department of Transportation response to the Commission's Document Request No.l.
This memorandum provides a summary of documents that DOT has submitted to date in
response to the first document request.
Item #1: Responses were submitted on May 28, June 5 and June 9. We believe this item
has been fully responded to. In addition, TSA may have additional information as
indicated in the FAA's May 28 transmittal memo.
Item #2: Although not specified in the June 5 and June 9 memorandums from the FAA,
the information provided by the FAA in response to Item #1 also covers this item so we
believe this item has been fully responded to.
Item #3: As FAA indicated in their May 28 transmittal memo, this information primarily
resides with TSA. However, there are 3 memorandums of understanding between FAA
and the US Secret Service that we will be providing to the Commission.
Item #4: This item was fully responded to on May 28.
Item #5: The FAA provided radar data in text form as part of the first submission on
May 28. On June 4, the Commission staff was briefed on the tracking of the four
hijacked flights. Subsequently, FAA provided a CD with the same briefing (not
documented in a separate memorandum by the FAA). Additionally on June 4, portions of
the radar tracking for three of the hijacked flights were viewed by five staff members in
the FAA's Air Traffic lab. This presentation included radar and voice communications.
The FAA is following up with a transcript of the communications between our Air
Traffic Control facilities that handled the flights and the communications with
Department of Defense elements on September 11, 2001. We will forward the transcript
to the Commission as soon as it is available. With regard to the remaining data and
information that the FAA released to the NTSB following 9/11, we are in consultation
with the NTSB and other agencies to determine the protocol for releasing the remaining
information.
Item #6: This item was fully responded to on May 28.
Item #7: FAA submitted materials on June 5 and June 9 that address this request.
Although the request was specific to FAA handling of hijacked airliners, we have
included additional information on actions the FAA took as a result of lessons learned
from 9/11. We are in the process of determining whether there is additional
documentation that would respond to this request item. In addition to the information
that has already been provided by the FAA after 9/11, the Secretary of Transportation
formed Rapid Response Teams to address longer-term airport and aircraft security issues.
Copies of those Rapid Response Teams' Reports are attached.
Item #8: As we have indicated previously, the documents provided to the Joint Inquiry
by DOT will be provided by TSA.
We will provide outstanding documents as soon as possible for the remaining items
discussed above.
Finally, we are putting together the briefings discussed in the DOT Briefing Request No.
1 and will be working on responding to DOT Document Request No. 2.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Rosalind A. Knapt
Deputy General Cpunsel
