Full text, the memo from Richard Clarke to Condoleeza Rice in
January 2001...
Bush Administration's First Memo on al-Qaeda
Declassified : January
25, 2001 Richard Clarke Memo: "We urgently
need . . . a Principals level
review on the al Qida network."
National Security Archives, February 10, 2005
"Washington, D.C., February 10, 2005 - The
National Security Archive today posted the widely-debated, but
previously unavailable, January
25, 2001, memo from counterterrorism coordinator Richard
Clarke to national security advisor Condoleezza Rice
- the first terrorism strategy paper of the Bush
administration. The document was central to debates in the
9/11 hearings over the Bush administration's policies and
actions on terrorism before September 11, 2001. Clarke's memo
requests an immediate meeting of the National Security
Council's Principals Committee to discuss broad strategies for
combating al-Qaeda by giving counterterrorism aid to the
Northern Alliance and Uzbekistan, expanding the
counterterrorism budget and responding to the U.S.S. Cole
attack. Despite Clarke's request, there was no Principals
Committee meeting on al-Qaeda until September 4, 2001.
The January 25, 2001, memo, recently released to the National
Security Archive by the National Security Council, bears a
declassification stamp of April 7, 2004, one day prior to
Rice's testimony before the 9/11 Commission on April 8, 2004.
Responding to claims that she ignored the al-Qaeda threat
before September 11, Rice stated in a March 22, 2004 Washington
Post op-ed, "No al Qaeda plan was turned over to the
new administration."
Two days after Rice's March 22 op-ed, Clarke told the 9/11
Commission, "there's a lot of debate about whether it's a
plan or a strategy or a series of options -- but all of the
things we recommended back in January were those things on the
table in September. They were done. They were done after
September 11th. They were all done. I didn't really understand
why they couldn't have been done in February."
Also attached to the original Clarke memo are two Clinton-era
documents relating to al-Qaeda. The first, "Tab
A December 2000 Paper: Strategy for Eliminating the Threat
from the Jihadist Networks of al-Qida: Status and
Prospects," was released to the National
Security Archive along with the Clarke memo. "Tab B,
September 1998 Paper: Pol-Mil Plan for al-Qida," also
known as the Delenda Plan, was attached to the original memo,
but was not released to the Archive and remains under request
with the National Security Council..."
