Correct. I did check with Secret Service; they advised me that they do not maintain logs from 2001 about who
was present in Crawford.

Does this mean that it does not indicate whether Tenet was there? If it does not, I wonder whether you
ought to check Secret Service logs.

Dan,
In response to your June 15,2004 letter to me, please be advised that the President's Daily Diary
reflects that the President was in Crawford, Texas, on August 17, 2001, and reflects his daily
intelligence briefing, but it does not specifically identify the briefer(s). Please let me know if you
have any additional questions. Thanks.

While the Commission filed no formal request, I did ask you, on behalf of the
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Commission, if the White House has any records for August 17, 2001 that
would shed light on the subject or nature of this meeting. I appreciate your
cooperation and responsiveness on this matter.
The purpose of this letter is to memorialize what you have reported to me, to
make sure we have an accurate understanding for the record. Please respond
by confirming the accuracy of what follows, or correct in any way necessary.
Records of the President's Daily Diarist confirm that Director Tenet did meet
with the President at Crawford on August 17,2001. But they do not indicate
the time, duration, subject matter or purpose of the meeting.
Sincerely,
Daniel Marcus
General Counsel
