You are probably aware of this, but just in case-The Aviation Security

agencies to develop policies and procedures to ensure that
intelligence reports concerning international terrorism were/are made
available to the other members of the intelligence community, the DoT,

to say ten rather than nine?The CONR logs are classified, which is a temporary problem for us at
GSA. Further, they are not portion marked, so we have no way of telling what is classified and
what is not. I will pick them up today at DoD and take them to K street. Dan, Steve, we need to
think about a process to address declassification/downgrading. For now a simple request to have
selected deliverables portion marked for us may be the way to go. For DoD, we can ask that
