GUIDELINES FOR DEPARTMENT AND AGENCYINTERVIEWS

It is in our mutual interest to have certain agreed upon general principles and proceduresfor interviews in order to avoid disagreements at interviews to the extent possible. Both sideswill apply a "rule of reason" and be flexible in interpreting these guidelines. The variousnotification provisions in these guidelines will allow the Executive Branch to identify anddiscuss with the Commission any concerns any planned areas of inquiry may pose with regard tothe constitutional interests of the Presidency or particularly sensitive classified information. Bothsides will attempt in good faith to resolve any such concerns.PRINCIPLES

In general, interviewers will: Focus only on what they need to know, that is, informationof particularized importance

to the Commission's statutory mandate Seek information not otherwise available, first looking at prior testimony anddocumentsto determine whether the information is available elsewhere Look to the substance of discussions and the arguments presented in discussions rather

than verbatim exchanges Inquire into agency positions only when it is important to understand the significancenot

only of a position taken but of which Department took it (e.g., DOD's position on the useof military force)

Not inquire about particular statements, or particular disagreements, for their own sakeorbecause they might be interesting

More specifically:Witnesses may discuss positions taken by their agency or other agencies at White House orNational Security Council meetings (including, but not limited to CSG, Deputies, or PrincipalsCommittee meetings), but interviewers will not elicit verbatim quotes from witnesses about whatparticipants said in such meetings, unless the quotation is especially important to understandwhat took place in the meeting. To the extent the perceived need to elicit verbatim quotes maybe anticipated by the interviewer, this need should be discussed in advance of the interview.With regard to post-9/20/01 matters, interviewers will not inquire into details of specificoperations, though interviewers may question officials about post-9/11 policies and programsdeveloped to deal with terrorist threats in response to the events of 9/11, including theimplementation and evaluation of those policies and programs. Except where there is a specialneed, interviewers will not inquire into deliberations with regard to either the formulation orimplementation of policies after 9/20/01.


11/14

PROCEDURES

Pre-meetings for certain high-level interviewsWith regard to interviews of witnesses at or above the Assistant~Searetary1^vet,

interviewers will meet with Executive Branch representatives reasonably in advance of anyinterview in which they anticipate asking questions about specific positions taken by the witnessor other Departments orAgencies at White House or NSC meetings (including, but not limited toCSG, Deputies, or Principals Committee meetings) and identify to the extent possible: thespecific meetings they wish to ask about, the specific Departments' and Agencies' positionsabout which they wish to ask, and, as noted above, to the extent the need for verbatim quotes canbe anticipated, anyverbatim quotes they may seek to elicit. Where feasible, a pre-meetingmaybe scheduled to discuss a number of high-level interviews with a particular Department orAgency, as long as the meeting provides this information with respect to each separateinterviewee.

In other cases, agency representatives mayspeak with Commission staff to seekadditional information concerning interviews.Other consultations

If the Commission plans to ask any questions of any witness concerning individualconversations with, or statements by, the President, Vice President, National Security Advisor,White House Counsel, or Deputy National Security Advisor, the Commission will consultreasonably in advance with the EOP about the planned areas of inquiry for any such questioning.

If the Commission plans to question any witness about time at another agency (includingthe White House or NSC), it will give reasonable advance notice of that fact to the agencyrepresentative.Disputes

If disputes arise during interviews, both sides can try to contact Dan Marcus or SteveDunne at the Commission or Dan Levin, Bryan Cunningham or Tom Monheim to try to resolvethe issue. If any question is not answered and in subsequent discussions it is agreed it should beanswered, the Commission will have additional interview time with the witness (possibly byphone) to answer the deferred questions).
