URGENT REQUEST
Daniel Spillane
410 E Denny Way #229
Seattle, WA 98122
[phone]

Mr. Andrew Card, Chief of Staff
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

October 17th, 2004

Dear Mr. Card:

My name is Daniel Spillane, and I am a resident of Seattle, Washington. I am contacting you with an urgent request for information, under the Freedom of Information Act, to support a unique public interest study I am working on, which goes beyond methodology so far employed in both the September 11th Commission report and in media reports.

1) Please send me a daily accounting of the following, for each day in the period from July 1st 2001 through September 10th 2001:

A tally, broken down by date occurrence, of the total number of daily activities generated, processed, and forwarded by White House staff, both internally and externally, concerning the possibility of terrorist attacks against the United States, and plans to deal with such, including potential business or financial hedges, transactions, or opportunities related to attacks or subsequent military deployment.

2) Please account for and identify EXPLICITLY (by date and contact names) all activities in the period from July 1st 2001 through September 10th 2001, which lead to the September 10th 2001 award of a new business contract to Halliburton Corporation “to Reduce Threat of Weapons Of Mass Destruction.”

3) Please account for and identify EXPLICITLY (by date and contact names) all activities directly or indirectly related to (1) or (2) above, AND which were released to associates or contacts of White House staff, such as Admiral William A. Owens, Admiral John M. Poindexter and/or assignees of DARPA SB012-012 “Electronic Market-Based Decision Support,” or anyone else in the business or financial community, for the July 1st 2001 through September 10th 2001 period.

For purposes of the above, “activities” are defined as written, electronic, or spoken communications (including meetings). Each original instance of such activities, as well as any repeats or forwards of original instances, counts as one towards the daily accounting tally.

Because only a tally and general accounting are required by me in order to satisfy this request (rather than providing actual content of messages), it is not necessary to supply sensitive intelligence information that would compromise national security interests, and would otherwise delay or interfere with this request for information.

I require a waiver of all fees for this request. Disclosure of the requested information to me is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily in my commercial interest. I ask that my request receive expedited processing because of the need for urgency, so as to inform the public concerning suspicious and/or criminal financial activities hitherto unknown to the public.

Please respond with this information before the end of October 2004 and contact me immediately via confirmed phone call as you send your reply; I am confident much of the needed material is already assembled and available to you due to the previous queries of the September 11th Commission. You can also trust I will make good use of this information; I have an established track record of contributing significantly to public understanding of activities of government--especially complex activities. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,



Daniel B Spillane
