4. The briefing materials prepared or compiled by White-House staff and distributed

to attendees for; any summaries prepared or compiled by White House staff and
distributed to attendees of the discussions held at and/or conclusions emerging
from; and any minutes prepared or compiled by White House staff of meetings at

5. Information sufficient to describe the activation and implementation of continuity

The Commission requests that the documents requested above be provided as soon as they are
available, even though all requested documents may not be provided at the same time, through
means of a "rolling" production.

If any requested documents are withheld from production, even temporarily, based on an alleged
claim of privilege or for any other reason, the Commission requests that the respondent, as soon
as possible and in no event later than the production date, identify and describe each such
^document or class of documents, as well as the alleged basis for not producing it, with sufficient
specificity to allow a meaningful challenge-to any such withholding.

If the respondent does not have possession, custody or control of any requested documents but has
information about where such documents may be located, the Commission requests that the
respondent provide such information as soon as possible and in no event later than the production
date.

If the respondent has any questions or concerns about the interpretation or scope of these
document requests, the Commission requests that any such questions or concerns be raised with
the Commission as soon as possible so that any such issues can be addressed and resolved prior to
the production date.

The Commission intends to make further document requests as its work develops and reserves the
right to request additional documents and information in the areas addressed in this request.
