5-9-11 White Paper is in support of the NARA MDR of the July 27, 2010 NARA FOIA
request re the NARA “Perot”, the NARA “Peter Keisler Collection”, and the NARA
“Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File” documents
This is a White Paper (WP) in support of the May 9, 2011 request for a NARA
Mandatory Declassification Review (MDR) of the July 27, 2010 NARA FOIA request for:
1) The NARA “Perot” documents
2) The NARA “Peter Keisler Collection” documents
3) The NARA “Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File’” documents
The NARA MDR decision-makers handling of these three sets of documents will reveal
whether President Obama’s December 29, 2009 E.O. 13526 § 3.5 Mandatory Declassification
Review is fatally flawed. If a § 3.6 (a) “Glomar Response” defense is used, then the NARA
MDR requester will file an ISCAP appeal and assert that the documents were misclassified by
application of the § 1.7 Classification Prohibitions and Limitations, standards.
This NARA MDR request is related to the same requester’s May 9, 2011 NARA
Automatic Declassification Review (ADR) for July 27, 2010 CIA FOIA requested # 1- # 4
1985 “North Notebook” documents being sought in the pending FOIA Robert II v CIA and
DOJ, cv 02-6788 (Seybert, J.), that are now subject to the 25 year automatic declassification
standard. These four NARA-CIA 1985 documents are connect-the documents to the three sets of
NARA documents being sought in this NARA MDR request because they reveal the process by
which the CIA ordered NARA FOIA Officers to use “Glomar Response” defenses. The NARA
MDR requester requests that the enclosed 5-9-11 NARA ADR WP be included in the May 9,
2011 NARA MDR case file along with the 7-27-10 DOJ WP filed with the July 27, 2010 de
novo FOIA request for the three sets of NARA documents now subject to NARA MDR.
This NARA MDR request is related to the same requester’s May 9, 2011 request for a
CIA MDR of the July 27, 2010 CIA FOIA requested # 5 “all Robert II v CIA “c (3) exclusion”
ex parte Declarations” documents. CIA F-2010-01579. The NARA MDR requester requests
that the enclosed 5-9-11 CIA MDR WP be included in the May 9, 2011 NARA MDR case file
because the WPs explain how AG Meese’s “Unitary Executive” theory has been implemented.
The requester requests a May 19, 2011 docketing of this NARA MDR. In this way, the
Robert II v CIA and DOJ co-defendant AG Holder may not commit a “fraud upon the court” in
his Second Circuit Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA Brief due on May 25, 2011. One of the
purposes of the request for the NARA MDR and ADR is to prevent AG Holder from
committing a déjà vu “fraud upon the court” in the pending Second Circuit Robert VIII v DOJ,
HHS, and SSA appeal as AG Gonzales had committed in Robert VII v DOJ, 2005 U.S. Dist.
LEXIS 39616, 193 Fed. Appx. 8 (2d Cir. 2006), cert. den. 127 S.Ct. 1133 (2007), by AG
Gonzales intentionally withholding material facts from Judge Garaufis, the Second Circuit, and
the Supreme Court. The appellant believes that these seven sets of NARA documents located
in the NARA Special Access Room will prove to AG Holder that the allegations made by the
plaintiff in Robert II v CIA and DOJ, Robert VII v DOJ, and Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA
of impeachable violations of federal laws, are true. See enclosed 3-18-11 ISCAP WP §§ D-G.

A. NARA MDR and the E.O. 13526 § 3.5 MDR standard
This request for a NARA MDR for the de novo FOIA requested July 27, 2010 FOIA
requested # 1 “Perot” documents, # 2 “Peter Keisler Collection” documents, and # 3 NARA
“Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File’” documents will reveal whether President
Obama’s December 29, 2009 E.O. 13526 § 3.5 Mandatory Declassification Review is fatally
flawed. There have been prior FOIA requests for these documents. Therefore, the NARA MDR
decision makers can easily locate these three sets of documents and determine whether as
asserted by the Robert II v CIA and DOJ plaintiff, there has been an improper application of §
3.6 (a) “Glomar Response” defense because the documents were misclassified by application of
the § 1.7 Classification Prohibitions and Limitations, standards.
President Obama’s December 29, 2009 E.O. 13526, Classified National Security
Information, 75 F.R. 707 (January 5, 2010), § 3.5 Mandatory Declassification Review provides:
(a) …all information classified under this order or predecessor orders shall be
subject to a review for declassification by the originating agency if:
(1) the request for a review describes the document or material containing
the information with sufficient specificity to enable the agency to locate
it with a reasonable amount of effort;
(2) the document or material containing the information responsive to
the request is not contained within an operational file exempted from
search and review, publication, and disclosure under 5 U.S.C. 552 in
accordance with law; and
(3) the information is not the subject of pending litigation. Emphasis Added.
As to § 3.5 (a)(1), as explained at § D below, the “Perot” documents were identified in
Present Reagan’s Diary. As explained at § E below, the “Peter Keisler Collection” documents are
identified as to NARA box number. As explained at § F below, the “Robert v National Archives
“Bulky Evidence File” documents are identified in the Robert v National Archives, 1 Fed. Appx.
85 (2d Cir. 2001), case file and emails in NARA’s custody. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ V, Y, BB.
As to § 3.5 (a)(2), if any of the documents are in an “operational file exempted from
search and review,” then the NARA MDR decision should so state. If a § 3.6 (a) “Glomar
Response” decision is being considered not to admit the existence of the documents, then
NARA General Counsel Stern should be consulted. He knows that pursuant to E.O. 13526, § 6.2
(a), AG Holder “shall” make that interpretation. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ E-G and § L below.
.
As to § 3.5 (a)(3), there is a pending case because the appellant sought the release of
these three documents in his September 3, 2008 Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA Motion for
Judge Garaufis’ pre-clearance Order to file a putative FOIA complaint. Judge Garaufis denied
the Motion. The appellant is arguing his First Amendment right of access to the courts has been
violated by USG attorneys. See 2-22-11 Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA Brief Point IV.
3
If the NARA MDR decision makers use an E.O. 13526 § 3.6 (a), Glomar Response”
defense, then the decision should identify the agency that made that decision and the name of
that agency’s decision-maker. E.O. 13526 § 3.6, Processing Requests and Review provides:
a) An agency may refuse to confirm or deny the existence or nonexistence
of requested records whenever the fact of their existence or nonexistence
is itself classified under this order or its predecessors. Emphasis Added.
The Robert II v CIA and DOJ plaintiff believes that a CIA FOIA Officer has made a
“Glomar Response” decision as to the four 1985 NARA ADR documents. If so, then the May 9,
2011 NARA ADR and MDR and the May 9, 2011 CIA MDR documents are connect-the-dots
documents that CIA Director Panetta should read in order to prevent AG Holder from
committing a “fraud upon the court” in Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA on May 25, 2011.
The Robert II v CIA and DOJ plaintiff believes that the “Glomar Response” defense is
being used to “cover up” the misclassification of documents that prove that 1985-2011 USG
attorneys have known that the documents were misclassified to conceal impeachable violations
of federal laws. E.O. 13526 §1.7, Classification Prohibitions and Limitations, provides:
a) In no case shall information be classified , continue to be maintained as
classified, or fail to be classified in order to:
(1) conceal violations of law, inefficiency, or administrative error;
(2) prevent embarrassment to a person, organization, or agency;
(3) restrain competition;
(4) prevent or delay the release of information that does not require
protection in the interest of the national security. Emphasis added.
If the NARA MDR decision-makers are considering using the “Glomar Response”
defense, then they should consult with NARA General Counsel Stern who will consult with AG
Holder. Pursuant to § 6.2 (c), any interpretations of E.O. 13526 “shall” be made by AG Holder:
(c) The Attorney General, upon request by the head of an agency or
the Director of the Information Security Oversight Office, shall render an
interpretation of this order with respect to any question arising in the
course of its administration. Emphasis added.
The NARA MDR and NARA ADR decision-makers, in consultation with NARA
General Counsel Stern, have an opportunity to render decisions that will prevent AG Holder
from committing a “fraud upon the court” in Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA and in Robert II
v CIA and DOJ. The NARA MDR and ADR requester further believes that if the NARA
decision-makers render decisions by May 23, 2011, then NARA General Counsel Stern will
provide these seven sets of declassified connect-the-dots to AG Holder who will then accept the
appellant-plaintiff’s quiet settlement offer. If that occurred, then this would result in the end to
the burdensome 1985-2011 Robert FOIA litigation saga and the end of President Obama’s 2011
violation of federal laws. See 3-18-11 ISCAP WP §§ D-G and 1-4-11 PIAB WP §§ 1, 34.

B. NARA General Counsel Stern has a duty to contact Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA
USG attorneys in order to apply AG Holder’s March 19, 2009 FOIA Guidelines as to
FOIA documents at issue in pending litigation
NARA General Counsel Stern has a duty to contact Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA
USG attorneys because the “Perot”, “Peter Keisler Collection”, and “Robert v National Archives
‘Bulky Evidence’” documents were at issue in the appellant’s September 3, 2008 Motion for a
pre-clearance order from Judge Sifton to file a FOIA complaint. AG Holder’s March 19, 2009
FOIA Guidelines with its presumption of disclosure, applies to FOIA requested documents at
issue in pending litigation. DOJ attorneys’ EDNY U.S. Attorney Lynch, AAG of the Civil
Division West, Associate AG Perrilli, and DAG Coles know the evidentiary significance of
these documents as to the Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA appellant’s argument that his First
Amendment right of access to the courts were violated. See 2-22-11 Brief Point IV.
AG Holder’s March 19, 2009 FOIA Guidelines provide guidance as to FOIA requests
regarding FOIA documents at issue in pending litigation:
Instead, the Department of Justice will defend a denial of a FOIA request
only if (1) the agency reasonably foresees that disclosure would harm an
interest protected by one of the statutory exemptions, or (2) disclosure is
prohibited by law. With regard to litigation pending on the date of the
issuance of this memorandum, this guidance should be taken into account
and applied if practicable when, in the Judgment of the Department of
Justice lawyers handling the matter and the relevant agency defendants,
there is a substantial likelihood that application of the guidance would
result in a material disclosure of additional information. Emphasis Added.
http://www.justice.gov/ag/foia-memo-march2009.pdf
On September 3, 2008, the Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA plaintiff filed his Motion
with Judge Garaufis seeking the a pre-clearance order to file a proposed putative September 3,
2008 FOIA complaint seeking the release of a “mosaic” of documents. The plaintiff asserted the
documents would prove that USG attorneys had committed a “fraud upon the court” by
intentionally withholding material facts from Judge Garaufis during the Robert VII v DOJ and
Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA litigation. This “fraud upon the court” included AG
Gonzales’ 2005 Declarations that were filed in support of Robert injunction requiring Judge
Garaufis’ pre-clearance order prior to Robert filing a FOIA request. One of the issues on appeal
is whether AG Gonzales’ Motion relief was secured in Judge Garaufis’ December 9, 2005 Order.
As per the September 3, 2008 putative Robert v CIA Declassification Center Chief
Warshaw, et. al. complaint, at § A , the Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA plaintiff included a
mandamus cause of action seeking Judge Garaufis Order that the NARA Public Interest
Declassification Board (PIAB) declassify the # 1 “Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence
File” documents. At § C , the plaintiff included a mandamus cause of action seeking Judge
Garaufis Order that President Reagan Library Archivist Williams docket the September 28, 2007
FOIA request for the NARA “Perot” documents. At § D, the plaintiff included a mandamus
cause of action seeking an Order the docketing of the “Peter Keisler Collection” FOIA request.
5
As per the September 3, 2008 putative Robert v CIA Declassification Center Chief
Warshaw, et. al. complaint, at § E the putative plaintiff sought the release of the Robert v
National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File” documents that included the release of 42 pages
“deemed responsive” documents, 38 pages of “remaining responsive” documents, and two
documents withheld based on FOIA Exemptions 3 and 7 (c). The FOIA requester never received
the “released” documents as all 80 “Bulky Evidence File” documents have been withheld.
The appellant is appealing the December 9, 2005 Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA
Order requiring Judge Garaufis’ pre-clearance Order. Therefore, the NARA MDR decision-
makers should request that NARA General Counsel Stern request that AG Holder make a E.O.
13526 § 6.2 (c) interpretation whether § 3.5 (a)(3) applies because these NARA documents were
being sought in the Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA September 3, 2008 Motion that Judge
Garaufis denied. All of Judge Garaufis Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA decisions are now on
appeal to the Second Circuit. The NARA MDR requester believes that if AG Holder was asked
to render a § 6.2 (c) interpretation, then he would read these three sets of NARA documents and
accept the appellant’s quiet settlement offer before his May 25, 2011 Brief filing due date.
The NARA MDR decision makers are placed on Notice that President Obama has
nominated 2009-2011 Principal Associate DAG Lisa Monaco to be the AAG of the National
Security Division. She was the 1998-2001 Counsel to AG Reno during the Robert v National
Archives, 1 Fed. Appx. 85 (2d Cir. 2001), and Robert v DOJ, 2001 WL 34077473 (EDNY), 26
Fed. Appx. 87 (2d Cir. 2002) FOIA litigation. She was 2007-2009 Chief of Staff of FBI Director
Mueller. She knows whether the 1999-2002 “c (3) exclusion” ex parte Declarations filed by
EDNY U.S. Attorneys Lynch (1999-2001) and Alan Vinegrad (2001-2002), had withheld
material facts from Judge Wexler, Judge Mishler, and the Second Circuit in order to protect the
CIA-FBI “sources and methods” used at IMC and NSA to protect the off-OMB Budget
funding source for CIA operations. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ E-G, K, M, N,R-U, Z, BB, CC, DD.
The NARA MDR decision-makers are placed on Notice of Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS,
and SSA appellant’s April 11, 2011 request for the OLC MDR of the March 18, 2011 released
redacted May 6, 2004 Memorandum from AAG of the OLC Jack Goldsmith to AG Ashcroft
regarding the legal basis for the NSA TSP, has not been docketed. That May 6, 2004 redacted
document reveals whether the OLC Special Counsel FOIA officer determined that AG Meese’s
extreme “Unitary Executive” theory should continue to be classified because it revealed the
existence of the “do not exist” 1984-2001 NSA TSP data banks that were not reported to the
“Gang of Eight” in AG Gonzales’ December 22, 2005 § 413 of the National Security Act letter
that reported the existence of the post-9/11 NSA PSP. Those data banks are now under the
“command and control” of DOD Cyber-Commander-NSA Director Lt. General Alexander.
The NARA MDR requester asserts that AG Meese’s extreme “Unitary Executive” theory
that is explained in the March 18, 2011 redacted May 6, 2004 OLC opinion, is the same extreme
“Unitary Executive” theory legal basis for the decisions to withhold the NARA “Perot”,
NARA “Peter Keisler Collection”, and NARA “Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence’”
documents. Therefore, the NARA MDR decision-makers should seek guidance from NARA
General Counsel Stern whether he intends to seek AG Holder’s E.O. 13526 § 6.2 (c) “shall”
interpretation whether E.O. 13526 § 3.5 (a) (3) applies. See 5-9-11 CIA MDR WP §§ Q, R.

C. NARA Archivist Ferriero’s May 3, 2011 House testimony re the problem of discretion
of USG attorneys whether to retain their emails and the NARA employees emails used in
processing the undocketed July 27, 2011 and October 29, 2010 FOIA requests
On May 3, 2011 NARA Archivist David Ferriero testified before the House Committee
on Oversight and Government Reform Presidential Records in the New Millenium: Updating the
Presidential Records Act and Other Federal Recordkeeping Statutes to Improve Electronic
Records Preservation. His testimony included his concern that the Presidents Records Act
(PRA) and the Federal Records Act (FRA) did not specifically cover email which is left to the
discretion of the USG employees. This includes the email discretion of his own NARA
employees.http://democrats.oversight.house.gov/images/stories/FULLCOM/503%20pres%20rec
ords/Ferriero%20Testimony.pdf
Chairman Darrell Issa Hearing Preview Statement explained why the House Committee
on Oversight and Government Reform was considering amendments to the PRA and FRA:
Many of the technologies in use today permit federal employees to easily
bypass the tools and protocols designed to capture official
communications and documents. Instant messaging and text-messaging
devices, personal e-mail accounts, social networking websites, and other
emergent technologies not only allow federal employees to communicate
outside of official federal channels during business hours, but also are not
stored or retained by federal recordkeeping authorities. Emphasis Added.
http://oversight.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&
id=1264%3A5-3-2011-qpresidential-records-in-the-new-millenium-
updating-the-presidential-records-act-a-other-federal-recordkeeping-
statutes-to-improve-electronic-records-preservationq&catid=12&Itemid=1
NARA Archivist Ferriero explained that in 1994 during President Clinton’s
Administration, a White House email preservation system was established:
In 1994, the Clinton Administration established the policy of preserving all
White House email records with an electronic recordkeeping system. The
George W. Bush Administration continued this policy. While both
Administrations experienced some problems preserving their emails and had
undertaken restoration projects, the overall concept of capturing and
preserving electronic Presidential records in their entirety became the
accepted practice. NARA staff have successfully transferred the electronic
Presidential records of these two Administrations into the National
Archives, which have been preserved and are currently available for search
and access by NARA staff. The Obama Administration is also capturing and
preserving its electronic Presidential records. Id. p-3. Emphasis Added.
NARA Archivist Ferriero explained that NARA’s recommendations as to the
Committee’s consideration of PRA statutory changes would have to be made in consultation
with the White House and DOJ because of separation of powers issues:
7
To the extent that the Committee would like to examine specific revisions
to the PRA, we would have to consult with the White House and the
Department of Justice before offering Administration views due to the
sensitive constitutional and separation of powers issue that are associated
with Congressional regulation of Presidential recordkeeping. I can say,
however, that the Archives would welcome the opportunity to engage in
constructive dialogue with the Committee and the Administration over
potential revisions of the PRA. Id. 4. Emphasis Added.
NARA Archivist Ferriero explained that President Obama’s Presidential Memorandum
on Transparency and Open Government with its goal of USG accountability for decision making,
cannot be open and accountable if documents are not preserved or cannot be found:
At the beginning of his Administration, President Obama issued a
Presidential Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government.
NARA has subsequently emphasized that the backbone of a
transparent and open Government is good records management. To put
it simply, the Government cannot be open or accountable if it does not
preserve- and cannot find – its records. Id. 4. Emphasis Added.
NARA Archivist Ferriero explained the importance of electronic recordkeeping:
Without changing recordkeeping policies to reflect the current
environment, while simultaneously also supporting the development and
deployment of more robust electronic recordkeeping systems the
permanent record of our nation that is in electronic form will be
compromised. Id. 6. Emphasis added.
NARA Archivist Ferriero raised the issue of USG employees preserving email:
Before closing, I do want to raise one critical but often overlooked point.
Ultimately, responsibility for records management will always rest to
some degree with individual federal employees, no matter what systems
are in place. That was true in an era of exclusively paper records, and it
remains true in an increasingly digital age. Although the development of
automated email archiving systems like that used by the EOP enhance out
ability to preserve key government records, updated records management
policies and ongoing employee education and training remain key to
sound records management practices.
I recognize the critical importance of finding solutions to the challenges
faced with managing and preserving the ever increasing amounts of
electronic records across the government and have made electronic
records one of my main priorities as Archivist. Indeed, as part of the
transformation process that I have initiated within NARA, we are setting
up our own records management laboratory to develop and test best
8
practices, which we have already begun to do. I am committed to working
with Congress, the White House, and federal agencies to do all that we can
to improve electronic records management and preservation. Id. 7-8.
Emphasis Added.
In answering one of the Chairman’s questions, NARA Archivist Ferriero explained his
discomfort when there is voluntary record keeping decision making. “Any time there is human
intervention, then I’m not comfortable.” http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/04/us/politics/04brfs-
ARCHIVISTTRO_BRF.html?ref=todayspaper&pagewanted=print
NARA General Counsel Stern represented NARA Archivist Ferriero at the hearing. He
answered one of Chairman Issa’s questions re the WH use of emails that were not preserved. He
testified that there may be emergency situations, but this was not a regular occurrence.
As explained in more detail in §§ H, L below, 1998-2011 NARA General Counsel Stern
had represented NARA Archivist John W. Carlin (1995-2005) in Robert v National Archives, 1
Fed. Appx. 85 (2d Cir. 2001). The plaintiff was seeking the release of the “FBI Agent Allison”
documents that had been transferred by Iran-Contras Independent Counsel (IC) Lawrence
Walsh to NARA. The plaintiff asserted that these NARA documents revealed whether FBI Agent
Allison, the FBI liaison to IC Walsh, had withheld information from IC Walsh that revealed
whether FBI Director Judge Webster had known that CIA Director Casey had conducted an
illegal domestic “black operation” at the Florida HMO International Medical Center, Inc. in
violation of the Boland Amendment. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ V, W, Y, Z, AA, BB, AAA.
NARA General Counsel Stern knows whether his 1999-2001 Robert National Archives
email with EDNY U.S. Attorney Lorretta Lynch and EDNY AUSA Kathleen Mahoney, reveal
who made the “Barrett nonacquiescence policy” litigation decisions to withhold material facts
from Judge Wexler and the Second Circuit during the Robert v National Archives litigation that
revealed serial impeachable violations of federal laws. “Finally, acceptance of the view urged by
the federal appellants would result in a blanket grant of absolute immunity to government
lawyers acting to prevent exposure of the government in liability.” Barrett v. United States, 798
F. 2d 565, 573 (2d Cir. 1986). Emphasis Added. This is an important fact because the NARA
MDR decision-makers have a duty to read those emails when they consider their NARA MDR
decision as to the release of the # 3 NARA “Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File”
documents. See §§ H, J below. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ E-G and 5-9-11 CIA MDR WP § R.
The USG FOIA attorneys’ emails in cases seeking withheld classified documents take on
greater importance if the ADR and MDR review process does not apply to the declassification of
USG documents withheld pursuant to the E.O. 13536 § 3.6 (a) “Glomar Response” defenses.
The emails reveal whether there was a Chambers v. Nasco, 111 S. Ct. 2123 (1991), “fraud upon
the court” because USG attorneys intentionally withheld material facts from the Article III
Judges for the purpose of deceiving the Article III Judges. “It is a wrong against the institutions
set up to protect and safeguard the public“ Id. 2132. This issue has been presented to the Second
Circuit in the appellant’s Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, SSA Brief to which AG Holder is to file his
Brief by May 25, 2011. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP § G and 2-22-11 appellant’s Robert VIII v DOJ
Brief p. 5, Point IV and V A and B. http://snowflake5391.net/Robert8vDOJ2dCirBrief.pdf.
9
The USG attorneys’ FOIA emails in cases in which the “Barrett nonacquiescence policy”
was implemented and material facts were withheld from Judges in “c (3) exclusion” ex parte
Declarations, contain the “smoking gun” evidence of the mens rea of the USG attorneys who
intended to deceive the Judge and parties. NYS Judiciary Law § 487, Misconduct by attorneys,
establishes a penal standard to deter attorneys from deceiving Judges and parties. “1. Is guilty of
any deceit or collusion, or consents to any deceit or collusion, with intent to deceive the court or
any party;” Emphasis Added. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP § G and 5-9-11 CIA MDR §§ D-H.
The NARA MDR decision-makers are placed on Notice that the appellant requested the
OLC MDR decision-makers to declassify the March 18, 2011 redacted May 6, 2004 OLC
Memorandum of AAG of the OLC Goldsmith to AG Ashcroft, in order to eliminate the issue of
whether a classified “Unitary Executive” theory litigation decision is a “good faith” defense for a
USG attorney violating his NYS Judiciary Law § 487 duty not to deceive Judges or parties. If
the document is declassified, then this establishes a NYS Judiciary Law § 487 “good faith” mens
rea defense for AAG of the Civil Division Keisler to withhold material facts from Judge
Garaufis and the Second Circuit in Robert VII v DOJ to protect the NSA TSP secret. However, it
would not be a “good faith” mens rea defense for AG Holder’s “chain of command” attorneys
if 2011 USG emails used in drafting his Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA Brief to be filed on
May 26, 2011, reveal the USG attorneys intended to deceive the Second Circuit and appellant.
Ironically, the “do not exist” 1984-2001 NSA TSP data banks and the 2002-2011 NSA
TSP data banks in the custody of DOD Cyber Commander-NSA Director Lt. General Alexander,
contain the 1985-2011 USG attorneys emails from the 1985-2011 Robert FOIA litigation. As a
result, the “discretionary” emails of USG attorneys that were not preserved pursuant to the PRA
and FRA, can be electronically harvested from the 1985-2011 DOD Cyber Command data banks
by President Obama’s February 16, 2011 appointed Chief Information Officer (CIO) of the
Intelligence Community Al Tarasiuk, the 2005-2010 CIA CIO. He can use the ODNI
Intelligence Advanced Research Project Activity (IARPA) CATALYST algorithms. “Oh what a
tangled weave, When first we practice to deceive.” Sir Walter Scott. See CIA MDR WP § F.
The USG attorneys’ FOIA emails in cases in which the “Barrett nonacquiescence policy”
was implemented, now trigger the April 1, 2009 NYS Rules of Professional Conduct Rule
3.3(a)(3) duty of USG attorneys to cure misrepresentations of fact and law made to tribunals.
“If a lawyer, the lawyer’s client, or a witness called by the lawyer has offered material
evidence and the lawyer comes to know of the falsity, the lawyer shall take responsible
remedial measures, including if necessary disclosure to the tribunal.” 7-27-10 DOJ WP § E.
Hence, the significance of NARA Archivist David Ferriero’s May 3, 2011 House
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform testimony re the importance of USG emails
being preserved pursuant to the PRA and FRA. The “discretionary” emails that NARA Archivist
Ferriero thought might be “lost” and not be part of the historical record, can be “found” in the
“do not exist” 1984-2001 NSA TSP and 2002-2011 NSA PSP data banks in the 2011 custody of
DOD Cyber Commander-NSA Director Lt. General Alexander. NARA General Counsel Stern
knows that the USG attorneys’ emails in Robert v National Archives, Robert v DOJ, Robert VII
v DOJ, and Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA reveal whether the 2011 daisy-chain of “shadow
government” attorneys know the 1985-2011 “Commander in Chief riddle” answers.
10
D. The NARA “Perot” documents
The NARA MDR requested “Perot” documents are the July 27, 2010 de novo FOIA
requested documents being withheld by the Archivist of the President Ronald Reagan Library.
These are connect-the-dots documents with the May 9, 2011 NARA ADR request re September
16, 1985 Robert II v CIA and DOJ FOIA requested “North Notebook” document that reveal
whether CIA Director Casey had established an off-the-shelf health care delivery system to
provide medical treatment and supplies for CIA “black operations” for which there were no 413
(a) of the National Security Act notification to the “Gang of Eight” and there was no classified
OMB Budget funding. See 5-9-11 NARA ADR WP § E and 5-9-11 CIA MDR §§ I, J.
On September 28, 2007, the plaintiff requested that the President Ronald Reagan Library
Archivist Shelly Jacobs Williams docket and release the “February 25, 1987 Ross Perot
documents and resulting final investigation Report of the AG and the FBI Director documents”
that were in the custody of the Archivist of the President Ronald Reagan Library. The request
was based on President Reagan’s diary entries that had been selected by Professor Douglas
Brinkley and published in the Reagan Diaries, Brinkley, HarperCollins, 2007.
On February 24, 1987, President Reagan made an entry re a meeting with Mr. H. Ross
Perot re his allegations of “chicanery & corruption” at DOD and the CIA:
Then upstairs for an hour with Ross Perot. He has laid on me a story of
chicanery & corruption in our executive branch including the mil. & CIA.
It’s a shocker & and has me asking where do I start. Of course all he told
me was based on circumstantial evidence. Id. 477. Emphasis Added.
On February 25, 1987, President Reagan made a log entry that he would provide the
documents that Mr. Perot provided to AG Meese and FBI Director Judge Webster:
Well this A.M. I had talked to Ed M. Im going to turn this over to him &
and our Dir. of the FBI. First however I’m going to give it all a good going
over –the material Ross left with me. Id. 478. Emphasis Added.
Upon information and belief, those documents were reviewed by AG Meese and FBI
Director Judge Webster. They learned whether a rogue domestic office-the-shelf CIA-DOD
“black operation” had been conducted at the Florida HMO International Medical Center, Inc.
from 1982-1986 through which unaudited HHS funds were diverted to pay for medical supplies
and treatment of the Contras in violation of the Boland Amendments and the National Security
Act of 1947. Upon information and belief, CIA Director Casey’s “black operation” at IMC was
implemented without the knowledge of President Reagan or his WH Counsels Fred Fielding
(1981-1986), Peter Wallison (1986-1987), and Arthur Culvahouse (1987-1989).
NARA Archivist Williams did not docket this FOIA request for the release of the
“Perot” documents. Upon information and belief, a 2007 Member of the 1981-2011 daisy-chain
of “shadow government” attorney-patriots ordered the NARA Archivist not to docket this FOIA
request because these documents would reveal domestic “sources and methods” of the CIA.
11
Upon information and belief, the FOIA request for the “Perot” documents was also not
docketed based on an interpretation of President Bush’s November 1, 2001 E.O. 13233, Further
Implementation of the Presidential Records Act. This E.O. provided President Bush with the
authority to use an executive privilege defense on behalf of incumbent and former Presidents in
connection with the release of Presidential records by NARA pursuant to the Presidential
Records Act of 1978. http://www.fas.org/irp/offdocs/eo/eo-13233.htm
The “Perot” documents have “Past is Prologue” historical importance because Mr. H.
Ross Perot’s Electronic Data Systems (EDS) had the contract to process Medicaid and Medicare
payments to providers. As a result, he knew HHS funds paid to the individual claims of medical
care provided at the IMC HMO and could be used to pay for illegal medical treatment of the
Contras in violation of the Boland Amendment. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ AA, BB.
Upon information and belief, in 1982 CIA Director Casey had informed Mr. Perot that
IMC had been chosen to be an off-the-shelf health delivery system that was needed when the
CIA conducted “black operations” to protect the nation from terrorists. The wounded from these
“black operations” had to be treated without the knowledge of Congressional Oversight
Committees. Upon information and belief, special procedures were implemented to protect the
secrecy of the “black operation” at IMC. This was necessary because otherwise EDS records
were available to the 1985 joint FBI-DOJ-HHS task force conducting the “Fraud Against the
Government” investigation of IMC. If HHS funds were used to pay for the medical care of the
Contras in violation of the Boland Amendment, then his EDS documents contained evidence of
the payments. See Miami Mystery: Paid to Treat Elderly, IMC Moves in Worlds of Spying and
Politics: Medicare Money Flowed in: Only Mr. Recarey Knows Where It Flowed Next:
Congress, "bugs" and Mob. Wall Street Journal 8-9-1988. See also DOJ WP §§ V, Y, AA, BB,
EE, FF. See also 2-22-11 Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA Brief at Point V A.
On September 3, 2008, the Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA plaintiff filed his Motion
with Judge Garaufis seeking a pre-clearance Order to file a FOIA complaint that included a
mandamus cause of action for the Court to order the docketing of the FOIA request for the
September 27, 2008 FOIA request for the release of the “Perot” documents. Judge Garaufis
denied the Motion and the Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA appeal of the decision is pending.
On January 21, 2009, President Obama issued E.O. 13489 Presidential Records and
rescinded President Bush’s November 1, 2001 E.O. 13233 governing the assertion of executive
privilege by incumbent and former Presidents in connection with the release of Presidential
records by NARA pursuant to the Presidential Records Act of 1978. Pursuant to E.O. 13489 §
4, the final decision as to a living former President’s use of Executive Privilege is made by the
incumbent President. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/pdf/E9-1712.pdf
Thus, President Obama makes the final decision whether to release the February 25,
1987 “Perot” documents. This is a “Past is Prologue” decision because those documents are
“connect the dots” with July 27, 2010 FOIA requested “FBI Abshire” documents that reveal the
name of the 1985-1986 “Commander in Chief” of CIA Director Casey who was not President
Reagan, and the 2010 “Commander in Chief” of FBI Chief FOIA Officer Hardy who was not
President Obama. See 5-9-11 NARA ADR WP § G, 5-9-11 CIA MDR WP §§ Q, R.
12
E. The NARA “Peter Keisler Collection” documents
The NARA MDR requested “Peter Keisler Collection”” documents are the July 27, 2010
de novo FOIA requested documents that are in the custody of the Ronald Reagan Library
Archivist Williams. These are important “Past is Prologue” documents because President
Reagan’s 1986 Assistant WH Counsel Keiser would become the 1988 Associate WH Counsel,
2002-2003 Principal Deputy Associate AG, 2003-2007 AAG of the Civil Division, and 2007
Acting AG. He knows the name of the 1986 “Commander in Chief” of CIA Director Casey’s
“black operations” at IMC and NSA who was not President Reagan. See §§ H, I below.
On December 15, 2006, the plaintiff filed a FOIA request with the President Ronald
Reagan Library Archivist Williams requesting the release of the “Peter Keisler Collection”
documents located in NARA Box: Peter Keisler Collection OA 16033: Legal Analysis Contra
Aid laws, Congress Notification, and Application States re: Contras. These were the documents
that Chairman Leahy of the Senate Judiciary Committee unsuccessfully sought during the
nomination hearing of AAG of the Civil Division Keisler to become a D.C. Circuit Judge.
The “Peter Keisler Collection” documents were generated from 1986-1988 by President
Reagan’s WH Counsel Wallison’s Assistant WH Counsel Peter Keisler and by WH Counsel
Culvahouse’s Associate WH Counsel Peter Keisler. These documents reveal whether Assistant
and Associate WH Counsel Keisler had informed WH Counsels Wallison and Culvahouse of the
existence of the faux “Commander in Chief” who pursuant to AG Meese’s extreme “Unitary
Executive” theory, made Top Secret impeachable decisions re the “black operations” at IMC
and NSA without the knowledge of President Reagan. See 5-9-11 NARA ADR WP §§ D, G.
These are “Past is Prologue” documents because AAG of the Civil Division Keisler knew
on December 22, 2005 that AG Gonzales’ § 413 of the National Security Act letter to the “Gang
of Eight” reporting on the existence of the post-9/11 2002-2005 NSA PSP, did not report the
existence of the 1984-1986 NSA TSP that he knew as an Assistant WH Counsel had existed in
1986. The documents also reveal his 1986 mens rea when on April 3, 2006 as AAG of the Civil
Division, he approved EDNY AUSA Mahoney’s Robert VII v DOJ letter Brief in response to the
Second Circuit’s teed up question whether appellant Robert was a FISA, 50 U.S.C. § 1806 (f),
“aggrieved person.” See 5-7-08 PIDB WP §§ E-H and 1-4-11 PIAB WP §§ 13, 14, 34, 35.
On January 30, 2007, the Archivist Shelly Jacobs Williams docketed the plaintiff’s FOIA
request, F07-014. She explained the FOIA request was being processed pursuant to President
Bush’s November 1, 2001 E.O. 13233. “However, because these are Presidential records
administered in accordance with 44 U.S.C. §§ 2201-2207 and Executive Order 13233, NARA
must notify the former and incumbent Presidents prior to the release of any Presidential records.”
The plaintiff filed multiple follow up NARA inquiry letters with Archivist Williams for
which there was no response. He then appealed to NARA Archivist Allen Weinstein. On August
11, 2008, NARA Deputy Archivist Adrienne Thomas informed the plaintiff that NARA
Archivist Weinstein did not have jurisdiction because the President Ronald Reagan Library
Archivist had not rendered a final decision. “As you have not received a final response to that
FOIA request, I cannot consider an appeal for those records at this time.”
13
On September 3, 2008, the Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA plaintiff filed his Motion
seeking Judge Garaufis’ pre-clearance Order to file the putative September 3, 2008 complaint
that included the § D cause of action seeking a mandamus order that Archivist Shelly Jacobs
Williams fulfill her ministerial duty and render a final FOIA decision. Pursuant to his December
9, 2005 Order, Judge Garaufis denied the Motion. That decision is now on appeal in Robert VIII
v DOJ, HHS, and SSA and AG Holder’s Brief is due to be filed on May 25, 2011.
As explained in § H below, NARA General Counsel Stern knows whether the Ronald
Reagan Library Archivist Shelly Jacobs Williams has rendered a final decision as to these
December 15, 2006 and de novo July 27, 2010 FOIA requested documents. He knows whether
the procedures of President Obama’s January 21, 2009 E.O. 13489 Presidential Records, which
rescinded President Bush’s November 1, 2001 E.O. 13233, have been applied.
NARA General Counsel Stern also knows that the July 27, 2010 FOIA requested “Peter
Keisler Collection” documents are connect-the-dots documents with the July 27, 2010 CIA
FOIA requested four # 1-# 4 1985 Robert II v CIA and DOJ “North Notebook” documents
subject to the 5-9-11 NARA ADR, and the # 5 “all Robert II v CIA “c (3) exclusion” ex parte
Declarations” documents subject to the 5-9-11 CIA MDR. He also knows that the NARA and
CIA emails are subject to the PRA and the FRA. See § C above and §§ I, J below.
NARA General Counsel Stern also knows that the July 27, 2010 FOIA requested “Peter
Keisler Collection” documents are connect-the-dots documents with the July 27, 2010 FOIA
requested “FBI Abshire” documents being withheld based on FBI Chief FOIA Officer Hardy’s
“command and control” officer’s interpretation of Judge Garaufis’ Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS,
and SSA December 9, 2005 injunction. He also knows that the 2005 DOJ emails reveal the
names of the USG attorneys who knew that AG Gonzales had withheld material facts from Judge
Garaufis in his successful 2005 Motion for the Robert injunction. See § C above and § L below.
NARA General Counsel Stern also knows from reading emails from NARA Deputy
FOIA Officer Jay Olin, that the Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA appellant seeks the release of
the “Peter Keisler Collection” document to present to AG Holder to prove to AG Holder that
AAG of the Civil Division Keisler knew when he approved EDNY AUSA Mahoney’s Robert
VII v DOJ April 3, 2006 letter Brief, that the “Peter Keisler Collection” documents revealed the
1986 mens rea of Assistant WH Counsel Keisler of the existence of the “do not exist” 1984-1986
NSA TSP. He knew President Reagan did not know of the 1986 serial impeachable violations of
the § 413 of the National Security Act, the “exclusivity provision” of the FISA, the PCA
limitations on domestic military law enforcement, and the Social Security Act. See § L below.
NARA General Counsel Stern knows that if the NARA MDR and ADR decision makers
have been ordered to apply the E. O. 13526 § 3.6 (a) “Glomar Response” to the “Peter Keisler
Collection” documents, that because of the E.O. 13526 § 1.7 misclassification standards, such
an interpretation merits AG Holder’s § 6.2 (c) “shall” interpretation of the E.O. 13526. NARA
General Counsel Stern knows that if AG Holder reads the “Peter Keisler Collection” documents,
then this will be a factor that AG Holder weighs when he considers the quiet settlement offer of
the Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA appellant prior to AG Holder’s May 25, 2011 filing
date for his Robert VIII Brief. See 11-11-08 DAG Filip WP and the NARA FOIA emails.
14
F. The NARA “Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File’” documents
The NARA “Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File’” documents are the July
27, 2010 de novo FOIA requested documents that are in the custody of NARA Archivist
Ferriero. These are important 1984-2011 “Past is Prologue” documents that reveal whether
1998-2001 USG attorneys had implemented the “Barrett nonacquiescence policy” and withheld
material facts from Judge Wexler and the Second Circuit in Robert v National Archives, 1 Fed.
Appx. 85 (2d Cir. 2001), to protect the “sources and methods” used by CIA Director Casey
during the illegal “black operation” at IMC. They also reveal whether 2009-2011 USG attorneys
have violated the plaintiff’s First Amendment right of access to the courts by not curing the
1998-2001 misrepresentations of fact and law made to Judge Wexler and the Second Circuit in
Robert v National Archives. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ E, V, BB, AAA. See § H below.
The “Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File’” documents are the documents
that were in the custody of Independent Counsel (IC) Lawrence Walsh on March 29, 1989 when
Robert was interviewed by FBI Agent Allison in the Offices of IC Walsh. They had been
transferred to NARA when in 1993 IC Walsh ended his investigations. Robert had sent
documents to IC Walsh that he asserted contained evidence that an illegal “black operation” had
been conducted by CIA Director Casey at IMC when former-HHS General Counsel del Real
was IMC President Recarey’s Chief of Staff. He alleged that unaudited HHS funds had been
used to pay for medical treatment and supplies of the Contras in violation of the Boland
Amendment. The “FBI Agent Allison” documents were the documents in the IC case file in the
custody of FBI Agent Allison when she interviewed Robert. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ V, BB.
The plaintiff filed Robert v National Archives seeking the release of the “FBI Agent
Allison” documents. Judge Wexler granted AG Reno’s Motion to Dismiss. Upon information
and belief, Judge Wexler relied upon AG Reno’s “c (3) exclusion” ex parte Declarations that
informed Judge Wexler that NARA Archivist Carlin was using the “Glomar Response” defense
because the “FBI Agent Allison” documents revealed the “sources and methods” of the CIA.
The plaintiff appealed Judge Wexler’s decision. See discussion of the “c (3) exclusion” defense
in the Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA Brief at Point II C. See 5-9-11 CIA MDR WP § E.
In its January 12, 2001 Robert v National Archives, decision, the Second Circuit panel
of Judges Feinberg, Katzmann, and Sotomayor affirmed Judge Wexler’s decision. The Second
Circuit panel explained that DOJ advised the FOIA requester that the “Bulky Evidence File”
documents would be later posted on “electronic indices” of NARA:
NARA stated that it was unable to find any other reference to Robert, an
interview with Robert, or any records created by Carol Allison in the
records of Independent Counsel Walsh, but assured Robert that further
searches would be conducted when electronic indices of a "Bulky
Evidence File" became available. Emphasis Added.
The Second Circuit panel commented on the accuracy of the NARA due diligence
Declaration which the Court relied upon in rendering its decision. The Court held that given the
NARA Declaration, the burden of proof was on the FOIA plaintiff to produce evidence of the
existence of the documents being transferred and withheld by the CIA pursuant Exemption 3:
15
Even if we were to construe Robert's claim as suggesting that NARA
"withheld" documents by its lack of diligence in conducting the requested
search, the Declaration of NARA's FOIA officer found in the record
adequately establishes that NARA properly discharged its statutory duties,
warranting summary judgment. See Carney v. Dep't of Justice, 19 F.3d 807,
812 (2d. Cir. 1994) (affidavits or declarations indicating that the agency has
conducted a thorough search are sufficient to sustain the agency's burden of
proving adequacy of search). Robert goes on to assert that "if NARA does
not have custody of the documents, then it can be reasonably concluded that
the CIA has custody of the documents withheld pursuant to FOIA
Exemption 3," and further insinuates that these documents may have been
transferred to the CIA to circumvent compliance with Robert's FOIA
request. Robert presented no evidence whatsoever to support these
allegations and therefore they have no bearing on this litigation. Cf. Tax
Analysts, 492 U.S. at 145 (documents are subject to disclosure only if "the
agency [is] in control of the requested materials at the time the FOIA request
is made"). Id. 88-89. Emphasis Added.
The March 29, 1989 “FBI Agent Allison” documents would have historical importance
if the documents reveal that FBI Agent Allison had withheld from IC Walsh facts that supported
the allegation that CIA Director Casey had conducted a 1984-1986 “black operation” at IMC
with the knowledge of FBI Director Judge Webster. These are also “Past is Prologue”
documents that have historical significance if FBI Agent Allison’s “command and control”
officer was not FBI Director Judge Sessions (1987-1993), but the faux “Commander-in-Chief”
who was not President George H.W. Bush, the 1976 CIA Director. See the 1-4-11 PIAB WP.
On August 23, 2007, the plaintiff requested the release of the Robert v National
Archives “Bulky Evidence File” documents that had been in the custody of Independent Counsel
(IC) Lawrence Walsh that were not released during the 1998-2001 Robert v National Archives, 1
Fed. Appx. 85 (2d Cir. 2001), litigation. NARA had never provided the plaintiff with copies of
the FOIA requested “Bulky Evidence File” documents that on March 29, 1989 had been in the
custody of IC Walsh’s FBI liaison, FBI Agent Carol Allison, and transferred to NARA.
On January 23, 2008, the NARA Director of the Textual Services Division issued a
NARA FOIA decision informing the plaintiff that there were 42 pages of “deemed responsive”
documents, there were 38 pages that the “remaining responsive” documents, and there were
two documents withheld based on FOIA Exemption 3 and 7(C). Upon information and belief, the
phrase “deemed responsive” is a de facto “Glomar Response” defense whereby there are
“deemed” responsive documents that can be released and other responsive classified documents
that the CIA instructs NARA not to release because admission that these responsive classified
documents exist, would reveal the CIA’s “sources and methods” involved in “black operations.”
On February 21, 2008, the plaintiff appealed that decision. He requested a more diligent
search for the “Bulky Evidence File” documents including within the unidentified “deemed
nonresponsive” documents. He requested copies of the 42 “deemed responsive” documents and
38 “remaining responsive” documents that had been in the custody of FBI Agent Allison.
16
On May 7, 2008, Robert filed a formal request with the NARA Public Interest
Declassification Board (PIDB) to declassify 1985-2007 Robert FOIA withheld documents:
1. Robert v National Archives “Bulky Evidence File” documents
2. Robert II v CIA and DOJ “North Notebook” documents
3. Robert VII v DOJ “FISC Robert” documents
4. Robert III v DOJ “Recarey extradition” documents
5. Robert v Holz sealed “Fraud Against the Government” documents
The NARA PIDB requester asserted that these connect-the-dots classified documents
should be declassified pursuant to the March 25, 2003 Executive Order 12392 § 1.5. He
requested an omnibus decision because these were connect-the-dots classified documents that
would reveal the names of the 1984-2008 USG attorneys had implemented the “Barrett
nonacquiescence policy” and withheld material facts from the Article III Judges that would
prove true Robert’s almost incredible allegations made in his serial FOIA actions. He argued the
NARA PIDB decision be made pursuant to § 1.7 to adjudicate whether the documents were
misclassified to cover up of the serial violations of federal laws. He argued the documents
were misclassified to cover-up the implementation of the extreme “Unitary Executive” theory of
AG Meese, and the existence of the “do not exist” 1982-2008 NSA TSP data banks which had
been accessed in violation of the “exclusivity provision” of the FISA. See 5-7-08 PIDB WP § A.
On June 23, 2008, NARA Deputy Archivist Thomas affirmed the January 23, 2008
decision. She determined there had been an “adequate” search for “responsive” documents by
the use of electronic indices “Therefore, I am affirming the initial response as it relates to
conducting an adequate search for responsive records.” None of the FOIA requested
“responsive” documents were released to the FOIA requester. See §§ H, I, J below.
Deputy Archivist Thomas also informed the plaintiff that the NARA record search
was limited to the documents that the sending agency transferred to NARA to become the
custody of the NARA. “We can only process and make available those records that have been
transferred to NARA’s custody.” Id. p 1, ¶ 4. Upon information and belief, this indicated that
there were classified “Bulky Evidence File” documents that were in the custody of the CIA.
Deputy Archivist Thomas affirmed the decision to withhold a “North Notebook”
document pursuant to the use of Exemption 3. “Rather, in this instance, one page of Oliver
North’s notebook was withheld in part to protect the identity of a CIA employee.” Id. p. 2, ¶ 3.
Emphasis added. Deputy Archivist Thomas informed the requester that she had no discretion in
rendering this CIA decision. “Based on the determination that 50 USC is an appropriate (b)(3)
statute, I have no discretion in this matter.” Id. p 2, ¶ 4. Emphasis Added.
Deputy Archivist Thomas also explained that the withheld law enforcement document
pursuant to Exemption (b)(7)(C), was an Independent Counsel Walsh routing form which
revealed the identity of a law enforcement officer. “The document in question is a routing form
used by IC Walsh, which contained the identity of a third party.” Id. p 2, ¶ 6. Upon information
and belief, the “law enforcement” officer was part of a FBI counterintelligence “plumber” unit.
17
Deputy Archivist Thomas also informed the plaintiff that FOIA Exemption 1 was not
applied to any “responsive” documents, and therefore the FOIA request was a moot issue:
Please be advised that no information deemed responsive to your request
was properly classified pursuant to EO 13292 or EO 12958, as amended.
As no information was withheld pursuant to exemption (b)(1), I deem this
portion of your appeal to be moot. Id. p 3, ¶ 1.Emphasis Added.
On July 3, 2008, the plaintiff requested that the Deputy Archivist clarify her June 23,
2008 decision as to FOIA Exemption 1 being applied to the “deemed responsive” documents.
He also requested an E.O. 13292 § 1.7 misclassification of documents determination as applied
to any “deemed nonresponsive” documents that may have been misclassified to “cover up”
the violations of federal laws as alleged by the FOIA requester. Upon information and belief,
the “deemed nonresponsive” documents were de facto “Glomar Response” documents.
On July 16, 2008, NARA Director of the Information Security Oversight Office (ISSO)
Director William J. Bosanko informed the plaintiff that the NARA PIDB does not have
jurisdiction to accept a citizen’s request for the declassification of documents. However, he
advised that a U.S. citizen has a declassification remedy pursuant to § 3.5 (a)(3) of President
Bush’s March 25, 2003 E.O. 13292, by filing declassification requests directly with the
classifying agency for the declassification officer to render a declassification decision.
On July 23, 2008, the plaintiff filed a declassification request with CIA Declassification
Center Chief Richard J. Warshaw to declassify the five sets of classified FOIA withheld
documents, and make a determination whether pursuant to President Bush’s E.O. 13292, § 1.7
Classification Prohibitions and Limitations, the documents were misclassified to “cover up”
violations of federal laws during 1980s illegal rogue domestic CIA “black operations.” This
July 23, 2008 CIA declassification request was not processed. See 5-9-11 CIA WP §§ Q, R.
On August 11, 2008, Deputy Archivist Thomas, reaffirmed her June 23, 2008 decision
regarding the “responsive” documents and the application of Exemptions 3 and 7(C):
We have carefully reviewed the documents deemed responsive to your
request and again affirm that only Exemption (b)(7)(C) apply to the two
pages withheld in part. No responsive documents are classified, therefore
(b)(1) does not apply in this instance. We also certify that NARA, as the
legal custodian of the records requested, made the determination to invoke
exemptions allowable under the FOIA. We maintain that we had a sound
legal basis to withhold information that is appropriate for withholding
from public disclosure pursuant to any one of the nine FOIA exemptions.
Id. p. 2 ¶ 1. Emphasis Added. Emphasis Added.
The Deputy Archivist Thomas indicated that the 80 pages of “responsive documents”
remain in the custody of the NARA Special Access staff. “In response to your request NARA’s
Special Access and FOIA Staff searched for and located 80 pages of records which are
responsive to your request.” Id. p. 1 ¶ 3. Emphasis Added.
18
Deputy Archivist Thomas indicated there were no “deemed responsive” classified
documents, but did not indicate whether the converse was true that there were “deemed
nonresponsive” classified documents that were being withheld from the FOIA requester pursuant
to the “Glomar Response” neither admit nor deny defense. “There are no classified records
among the records deemed responsive to your request.” p. 1 ¶ 3. Emphasis Added.
Deputy Archivist Thomas reaffirmed the decision that NARA had correctly determined
that the FOIA requester’s request for an appeal of the FOIA Exemption 1 decision was moot.
“We deemed the claim regarding (b)(1) to be moot, as NARA did not deny access to any
responsive documents because they were classified.” Id. p1, ¶ 4. Emphasis added.
Deputy Archivist Thomas rejected the FOIA requester’s request for a E.O. 13292 § 1.7
decision without discussing the culled NARA “deemed nonresponsive” documents:
Again, no information deemed responsive to your request of August 23,
2007, is properly classified pursuant to EO 13, 292 or EO 12, 958, as
amended. As no information was withheld pursuant to exemption (b)(1),
we deemed this portion of your appeal to be without merit. Id. p. 1 ¶ 4.
Emphasis added.
Deputy Archivist Thomas did not release to the plaintiff the 80 pages of “responsive”
documents. Upon information and belief, the “command and control” officer of Deputy
Archivist Thomas ordered her not to release the 80 “responsive” documents to Robert.
On September 3, 2008, the Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA plaintiff filed his Motion
seeking Judge Garaufis’ pre-clearance Order to allow the plaintiff to file a putative FOIA
complaint. At § B of the complaint, the plaintiff filed a mandamus cause of action seeking an
Order of Judge Garuufis Order the CIA Declassification Center Chief to docket the plaintiff’s
July 23, 2008 declassification request that included the declassification of the # 1 “Robert v
National Archives “Bulky Evidence File” documents. Judge Garaufis denied the Motion.
Upon information and belief, Acting CIA General Counsel Rizzo on behalf of CIA
Director Hayden (2006-2009), filed a “c (3) exclusion” ex parte Declaration explaining why the
CIA Declassification Center Chief Warashaw did not docket the declassification request. Upon
information and belief, he explained that these were documents would reveal the “sources and
methods” of the CIA that are applied when there is FOIA litigation seeking classified documents.
On July 27, 2010, the Robert v National Archives appellant filed the FOIA request for the
# 3 “NARA Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File’” documents. That FOIA request
was never docketed. On August 12, 2010, NARA Deputy General Counsel Jay Olin rejected the
FOIA request. See the 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ E-G, V, W, AA, BB, AAA and § L below.
The NARA MDR requester is seeking the declassification of the universe of “NARA
Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File’” documents. Since the “responsive”
documents were never received by the FOIA requester, he has concluded that these have been
deemed to be “Glomar Response” classified documents subject to NARA MDR review.

G. The NARA FOIA Officers’ email decisions not to docket the July 27, 2010 FOIA
request for the “Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File’” documents and
October 29, 2011 NARA FOIA request for four 1985 CIA “North Notebook” documents
The NARA MDR decision-makers are placed on Notice of the NARA FOIA Officers
decisions not to docket the July 27, 2010 NARA FOIA request for the three documents and
the October 29, 2011 FOIA request for the four # 1- # 4 CIA 1985 “North Notebook”
documents. The NARA MDR decision-makers are placed on Notice of their duty to contact
NARA General Counsel Stern to learn whether the 2010-2011 emails of NARA Deputy
Counsel Olin and NARA General Counsel Stern reveal the name of the “command and control”
officer, who is not NARA Archivist Ferriero, who ordered the FOIA Officers not to docket the
NARA FOIA requests for the connect-the-dots documents. See § C above and § L below.
On August 12, 2010, NARA Deputy FOIA Officer Jay Olin informed the FOIA requester
that his July 27, 2010 NARA FOIA request was rejected for a series of reasons. He returned the
July 27, 2010 FOIA request and the supporting July 27, 2010 DOJ WP in support of the Robert
VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA quiet settlement to which the NARA FOIA request referred.
On August 31, 2010, Robert filed a 17 page appeal of that decision with NARA Chief
FOIA Officer and General Counsel Gary Stern with a specific request for a docket number.
Robert served NARA General Counsel with a copy of his July 27, 2010 DOJ FOIA request, the
July 27, 2010 DOJ WP in support of the Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA quiet settlement, and
the appellant’s August 24, 2010 Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA letter sent to the Second
Circuit reinstating the appeal. See the 11-11-08 DAG Filip WP and 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ V, BB.
On August 31, 2010, Robert requested by letter and by email that the Ronald Reagan
Presidential Library FOIA Coordinator provide copies of the April 11, 2009 letter to which
NARA Deputy FOIA Officer Olin cited, and the approximately 218 pages that were not the 11
classified pages from file F07-014. He explained he had never received the April 10, 2009 letter
or any of the documents. He served the July 27, 2010 DOJ WP in support of the Robert VIII v
DOJ, HHS, and SSA quiet settlement and cited to § BB. He provided a copy of his August
24, 2010 Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA letter sent to the Second Circuit reinstating the
appeal. He renewed his request for the “Perot” documents for which he never received a docket
number and cited to President Obama’s January 21, 2001 E.O. 13489, Presidential Records, that
rescinded President Bush’s November 1, 2001 E.O. 13233. See §§ C-E above and § L below.
On August 31, 2010, Robert provided NARA Deputy FOIA Officer Olin with copies of
his August 31, 2010 letters to NARA Chief FOIA Officer and General Counsel Stern and the
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library FOIA Coordinator. He also provided a copy of the August
24, 2010 Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA Second Circuit appeal reinstatement letter.
The NARA MDR decision-makers are placed on Notice that the FOIA requester has not
received a docket number for the July 27, 2010 FOIA request. The NARA MDR decision-
makers are placed on Notice that the emails between NARA Deputy FOIA Officer Olin and
Chief FOIA Officer and General Counsel Gary Stern reveal the mens rea of these two NARA
FOIA officials as to why the FOIA request was not docketed. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP § AAA.
20
The NARA MDR decision-makers are placed on Notice that the FOIA requester has not
received a docket number for the October 29, 2011 FOIA request for the four # 1- # 4 CIA 1985
“North Notebook” documents. This is an important fact because these are connect-the-dots
documents to the NARA “Perot”, “Peter Keisler Collection”, and “Robert v National Archives
‘Bulky Evidence File” documents because they reveal the names of the attorneys who have
implemented the “Unitary Executive” theory of AG Meese whereby pursuant to the President’s
Article II authority, USG attorneys can withhold material facts from Judges in order to protect
national security secrets. See 5-9-11 NARA ADR WP § H and 5-9-11 CIA MDR WP §§ Q, R.
These seven sets of NARA connect-the-dots documents contain connect-the-dots facts
that prove whether USG attorneys committed a “fraud upon the court” in Robert v National
Archives, 1 Fed. Appx. 85 (2d Cir. 2001), Robert v DOJ, 2001 WL 34077473 (EDNY), 26 Fed.
Appx. 87 (2d Cir. 2002), and Robert VII v DOJ, 2005 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 39616, 193 Fed. Appx.
8 (2d Cir. 2006), cert. den. 127 S.Ct. 1133 (2007). In Chambers v. Nasco, 111 S. Ct. 2123
(1991), the Supreme Court highlighted the inherent authority of a court to protect its own
integrity when false representations are made to a court, by vacating prior judgments:
This “historic power of equity to set aside fraudulently begotten
judgments,” cite omitted, is necessary to the integrity of the courts for
“tampering with the administration of justice in (this)manner …involves
far more than an injury to a single litigant. It is a wrong against the
institutions set up to protect and safeguard the public. cites omitted.
Moreover, a court has the power to conduct an independent investigation
whether it has been the victim of a fraud. Id. at p. 2132. Emphasis Added.
These seven sets of NARA connect-the-dots documents and the USG attorneys’ 2000
emails in Robert v National Archives, reveal the names of the litigation decision-makers to
compare with the 2000 emails of the litigation decision-makers in Ford v. Shalala, 87 F. Supp
2d 163 (E.D.N.Y. 1999), when then-DAG-Holder made his honorable and courageous decision
not to perfect EDNY U.S. Attorney Lynch’s appeal of Judge Sifton’s April 9, 1994 nationwide
class certification of millions of Ford class members. In 2000, the AAG of the Civil Division
was David Ogden and his DAAG supervising the Federal Programs Branch of the Civil
Division was Tom Perrelli who is now AG Holder’s Chief FOIA Officer and Associate AG.
The 2000 emails of Robert v National Archives attorneys EDNY AUSA Kathleen
Mahoney and NARA General Counsel Stern, and the 2000 emails of Ford v Shalala DOJ
attorneys EDNY AUSA Mahoney and DAAG of the Civil Division Perrelli reveal the mens rea
of these attorneys. They knew that a 1986 HHS Secretary Bowen “clandestine” policy to divert
“Jackson nonacquiescence policy” funds to pay for CIA Director Casey’s domestic “black
operations” at IMC and NSA, would trigger a Bowen v City of New York, 106 S. Ct. 2022
(1986), equitable tolling remedy for millions of 1994-2000 Ford class members. “The
claimants were denied the fair and neutral procedure required by the statute and regulations, and
they are now entitled to pursue that procedure.” Id. 2034. Emphasis Added. See § C above.
Hence, the importance of the NARA MDR decision makers asking NARA General
Counsel Stern the legal authority for NARA FOIA Officers not to docket the FOIA requests.
21
H. NARA General Counsel Stern’s knowledge the “Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky
Evidence File” documents and his emails with AUSA Mahoney contain evidence that
AUSA Mahoney knows AG Gonzales withheld material facts from Judge Garaufis in his
2005 Motion to secure the December 9, 2005 Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA injunction
The NARA MDR decision-makers are placed on Notice that NARA General Counsel
Stern knows whether the “Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File” documents and his
Robert v National Archives emails with AUSA Mahoney contain evidence that AUSA Mahoney
knew that AG Gonzales had withheld material facts from Judge Garaufis in his 2005 Motion to
secure the December 9, 2005 Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA injunction. NARA MDR
decision-makers should know this fact because NARA General Counsel Stern knows that
EDNY AUSA Mahoney has an ethical duty to cure misrepresentations of facts in the DOJ’s
Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA Brief. See 2-22-11 Robert VIII Brief Facts and Point IV.
NARA General Counsel Stern knows that the July 27, 2010 FOIA requested “Robert v
National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File’” documents corroborate the fact that on March 29,
1989 FBI Agent Allison knew whether Robert’s allegations that CIA Director Casey had
conducted a “black operation” at IMC in violation of the Boland Amendment with the
knowledge of FBI Director Judge Webster and AG Meese, had not been presented to IC Walsh.
He knows the content of the 80 “deemed responsive” and “remaining responsive” documents
never sent to Robert, corroborate Robert’s allegations as to the mens rea of FBI Agent Allison’s
knowledge of the allegations of the “black operation” at IMC where a joint FBI-DOJ-HHS task
force had conducted a “Fraud Against the Government” investigation of IMC that AAG of the
Criminal Division William Weld had ended in 1987. See 2-22-11 Robert VIII Brief Point V A.
NARA General Counsel Stern knows that his Robert v National Archives emails with
EDNY AUSA Mahoney, establish that AUSA Mahoney knew that the “FBI Agent Allison”
documents existed and had been withheld from Judge Wexler and the Second Circuit pursuant to
the “Barrett nonacquiescence policy” in order that Judge Wexler and the Second Circuit panel of
Judges Feinberg, Katzman, and Sotomayer did not have facts to corroborate Robert’s almost
incredible allegations. He knows those emails reveal whether AAG of the Civil Division David
Ogden had approved the filing of USG attorneys’ “c (3) exclusion” ex parte Declarations with
the Judge Wexler an the Second Circuit. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ E-G, V, W, Y, AA, BB.
NARA General Counsel Stern knows that his Robert v National Archives emails with
EDNY AUSA Mahoney are connect-the-dots USG attorneys’ emails which establish that 1998-
2011 AUSA Mahoney was implementing the “Barrett nonacquiescence policy” of the AAGs of
the Civil DivisionWillard (1983-1987), Bolton (1989-2003), Hunger (1993-1999), Ogden (1999-
2001), and Keisler (2003-2007) to make Article III Judges the “handmaidens” of the DOJ.
“Under no circumstances should the Judiciary become the handmaiden of the Executive.” Doe,
et. al. v Mukasey, Mueller, and Caproni, 549 F 3d 861, 870 (2d Cir. 2008). He knows AUSA
Mahoney has withheld material facts from Judge Mishler and the Second Circuit in Robert v
DOJ, 2001 WL 34077473 (EDNY), 26 Fed. Appx. 87 (2d Cir. 2002), and from Judge Garaufis
and the Second Circuit in Robert VII v DOJ, 2005 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 39616, 193 Fed. Appx. 8
(2d Cir. 2006), cert. den. 127 S.Ct. 1133 (2007), and now Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA,
to make the Judges “handmaidens” re FISA violations. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ N, V, W, PP.
22
NARA General Counsel Stern knows whether the NARA FOIA Officers were ordered
not to docket the July 27, 2010 de novo FOIA request for the “Perot”, “Peter Keisler Collection”,
and Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File’” documents, and the October 29, 2010
FOIA requested # 1-# 4 1985 “North Notebook” documents, based on an interpretation of Judge
Garaufis Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA December 9, 2005 injunction that required a pre-
clearance Order from Judge Garaufis to file a FOIA request. The issue of the extent of Judge
Garaufis’ December 9, 2005 injunction order is now at issue in the Second Circuit in Robert VIII
v DOJ, HHS, and SSA. See 2-22- 11 Robert VIII Brief at pp. 12-15 and Point IV.
NARA General Counsel Stern knows from reading his own Robert v National Archives
emails with AUSA Mahoney, that she knows whether AAG of the Civil Division Keisler had
approved AG Gonzales’ filed 2005 “c (3) exclusion” ex parte Declarations 2005 Robert VIII v
DOJ, HHS, and SSA Motion successfully seeking the December 9, 2005 Robert injunction,
which withheld material facts from Judge Garaufis that corroborated Robert’s almost incredible
allegations. This is because NARA General Counsel Stern knows that AUSA Mahoney knows
that Robert was a FISA, 50 U.S.C. § 1806 (f), “aggrieved person” when AAG of the Civil
Division Keisler approved her April 3, 2006 Brief filed on behalf of AG Gonzales answering the
Second Circuit’s teed up question whether Robert was an “aggrieved person.” See AUSA
Mahoney’s April 3, 2006 Brief posted at http://www.snowflake5391.net/RobertvDOJbrief.pdf.
NARA General Counsel Stern knows whether in Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA,
EDNY AUSA Mahoney has an April 1, 2009 NYS Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 3.3(a)(3)
duty to cure misrepresentations of fact and law that she knows were made to the Second Circuit
in Robert v National Archives, Robert v DOJ, and Robert VII v DOJ. “If a lawyer, the lawyer’s
client, or a witness called by the lawyer has offered material evidence and the lawyer comes to
know of the falsity, the lawyer shall take responsible remedial measures, including if necessary
disclosure to the tribunal.” Emphasis Added. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ E, M, N, AAA.
NARA General Counsel Stern knows that if he knows that his 2010-2011 emails reveal
that he participated in the decision that the NARA FOIA Officers were not to docket Robert’s
July 27, 2010 and October 29, 2010 de novo FOIA requests, then his 2010-2011 emails are
connect-the-dots emails with his 1999-2001 Robert v National Archives emails. He knows that
the NYS Judiciary Law § 487, Misconduct by attorneys, penal standard applies to him if in 2011
he intends to deceive NARA MDR requester Robert in concert with EDNY AUSA Mahoney,
his co-counsel in Robert v National Archives. “1. Is guilty of any deceit or collusion, or consents
to any deceit or collusion, with intent to deceive the court or any party; or …” Emphasis Added.
Hence, the importance of the NARA MDR decision-makers receiving accurate
information from NARA General Counsel Stern when they decide whether to docket this May 9,
2011 NARA MDR request re the “Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File”
documents. NARA General Counsel Stern can contact EDNY AUSA Mahoney and learn
whether Judge Garaufis’ December 9, 2005 Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA injunction
applies to Robert’s July 27, 2010 de novo FOIA request for Robert v National Archives “Bulky
Evidence File” documents. AUSA Mahoney knows whether her co-counsel NARA General
Counsel Stern had withheld material facts from Judge Wexler and the Second Circuit for which
she has a NYS ethics Rule 3.3 duty to cure the USG attorneys’ misrepresentation of facts or law.

I. The July 27, 2010 NARA FOIA requested “Perot”, “Peter Keisler Collection”, and
Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File” documents are connect-the-dots
documents with the July 27, 2010 FOIA requested “FBI Abshire” documents being
withheld pursuant to the December 9, 2005 Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS and SSA injunction
The NARA MDR decision-makers are placed on Notice that the July 27, 2010 NARA
FOIA requested “Perot”, “Peter Keisler Collection”, and Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky
Evidence File” documents are connect-the-dots documents with the July 27, 2010 FOIA
requested “FBI Abshire” documents now being withheld pursuant to the December 9, 2005
Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS and SSA injunction. AG Holder will learn from reading classified
“FBI Abshire” documents whether the classified NARA “Perot”, “Peter Keisler Collection”,
and Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File” documents corroborate the Robert VIII v
DOJ, HHS, and SSA appellant’s almost incredible allegations made to the Second Circuit in
Robert v National Archives, Robert v DOJ, and Robert VII v DOJ. See §§ D, E, F, above.
The “FBI Abshire” documents are 3000 documents that FBI Director Judge Webster and
a “task force of departmental general counselors” reviewed in December, 1986 that contain
classified documents not provided to the Tower Commissioner, the Senate-House Committee
investigating Iran-Contras Affair, and IC Lawrence Walsh because they revealed the “sources
and methods” of the CIA. These documents reveal whether FBI Director Judge Webster knew in
1985 that CIA Director Casey had been conducting a domestic “black operation” at IMC to
provide medical treatment and supplies to the Contras in violation of the Boland Amendment.
On November 25, 1986, AG Meese held a Press Conference and provided a preliminary
report of what he discovered in his search of Lt. Col North’s office. On December 1, 1986,
President Reagan established the “Tower Commission” and appointed Senator John Tower,
former Secretary of State Edmund Muskie, and former-National Security Advisor Brent
Scowcroft. The Commissioners were tasked to perform an Article II investigation of the Iran-
Contras revelations that were revealed by AG Meese They were to provide President Reagan
with a Report by February 28, 1987 reporting the who knew what and when details.
On December 1, 1986, President Reagan appointed Ambassador David Abshire, a
former Member of President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB) who was not an
attorney, to be the Special Counselor to the President. He was tasked with representing the
President before the Tower Commission and preserving the President’s Article II Commander in
Chief authority including protecting the sources and methods of the CIA. Special Counselor
Abshire appointed Judge Bower as his attorney to cull the FBI documents. In December 1986,
FBI Director Judge Webster and Special Counselor Abshire’s attorney, Judge Bower,
established a “task force of departmental general counselors” to review FBI records regarding
the Iran-Contras affair. They were to identify and retain documents that would place at risk the
“sources and methods” of the Intelligence Community that should not be compromised.
In his 2005 memoir: Saving the Reagan Presidency: Trust is the Coin of the Realm.
Special Counselor to the President Abshire reported that 3000 documents had been screened by
the “task force of departmental general counselors” that revealed “sources and methods” of
the intelligence community. These documents were not provided to the Tower Commission:
24
During this period, Judge Bower’s task force of departmental general
counselors continued to review three thousand relevant documents identified
by the FBI for investigations. Each of these documents had to be carefully
sorted, and the most sensitive had to be retained for safekeeping in the
executive branch, where the committee staffs and others were invited to
view them. This was one of the initial problems we had with the Congress –
safekeeping. The CIA was very slow in replying to requests related to the
contra supply operation because they had difficulty evaluating the
documents. As for the Walsh team, we had to work out arrangements to
have filing cabinets and space at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virgina. This
enabled the Walsh attorneys to see what the agency had blacked out as
legally irrelevant but sensitive in terms of revealing sources and methods.
Similar arrangements were worked out with the Treasury Department since
it also wanted to follow North’s money trail. Id. 110-111. Emphasis Added.
Upon information and belief, the “FBI Abshire” documents include some of the “Perot”
EDS documents that Mr. Perot handed to President Reagan on February 24, 1987 prior to the
February 28, 1987 public release of the Tower Commission Report. Upon information and
belief, this is one of the reasons why the Archivist of the President Ronald Reagan Library was
ordered not to docket the FOIA request for the “Perot” documents because the “Perot”
documents contained some “FBI Abshire” classified “sources and methods” documents.
On July 27, 2010, Robert filed a third FBI FOIA request for the # 1 “FBI Abshire”
documents. Chief FBI FOIA Officer Hardy was instructed not to docket the July 27, 2010 FOIA
request without a pre-clearance Order from Judge Garaufis. This FOIA decision was based on an
interpretation of Judge Garaufis December 9, 2005 Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA Order
enjoining Robert from filing a FOIA complaint without Judge Garaufis’ pre-clearance Order.
The Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA appellant is arguing that the injunction and the USG’s
interpretation of the injunction violates Robert’s First Amendment right of access to the courts.
See the 2-22-11 Robert VIII Brief Point IV and 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ E-G, N, M, AAA.
The NARA ADR and MDR requester asserts that the “FBI Abshire” documents are
connect-the-dots documents with the 9-16-85 NARA “North Notebook” classified document and
the NARA 2-25-87 “Perot” documents which reveal whether FBI Judge Webster and then-CIA
Director Judge Webster knew that the CIA had conducted a “black operation” at IMC where
unaudited Off-OMB Budget funds were used to pay IMC for medical supplies and treatment for
the Contras in violation of the Boland Amendment and the Social Security Act. If so, then this is
a “Past is Prologue” fact because it reveals the 1985 FBI Director’s mens rea of law violations.
NARA General Counsel Stern knows whether FBI General Counsel Caproni made the
interpretation of Judge Garaufis December 9, 2005 injunction order as requiring a pre-clearance
Order to file the FOIA request for the “FBI Abshire” documents. If so, then he knows whether he
agrees with that FBI interpretation as being the basis for the NARA FOIA Officer not to docket
Robert’s FOIA request for the “Perot”, “Peter Keisler Collection” and “Robert v National
Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File’” documents. If so, then the NARA MDR decision-makers
should so state in their NARA MDR decision subject to ISCAP appeal. See 3-18-11 ISCAP WP.
25
J. The three NARA MDR documents are connect-the-dots documents to the 5-9-11 NARA
ADR request re the four 1985 Robert II v CIA and DOJ “North Notebook” documents
subject to the time anchor of the E.O. 13526 § 3.3 25 year time standard
The NARA MDR decision makers are placed on Notice that the three July 27, 2010
undocketed classified “Perot”, “Peter Keisler Collection” and “Robert v National Archives
‘Bulky Evidence File’” documents are connect-the-dots documents with the 5-9-11 NARA ADR
request of the four 1985 Robert II v CIA and DOJ documents subject to the 25 year time anchor
declassification standard. If CIA Director Panetta does not extend the 25 year standard and those
four pages of 1985 documents are declassified, then NARA Archivist Ferriero should be
reviewing any email instructions to the NARA MDR decisions makers not to declassify the
connect- the-dots classified “Perot”, “Peter Keisler Collection” and “Robert v National Archives
‘Bulky Evidence File’” documents, by NARA General Counsel Stern or his “command and
control” officer whose “Commander in Chief” is not President Obama. See §§ C, H above.
The Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA appellant-Robert II v CIA and DOJ plaintiff has
made the gravest of allegations that there has existed a 1984-2011 daisy-chain of “shadow
government” attorney-patriots who have been implementing the “Unitary Executive” theory of
AG Meese and whose “Commanders in Chief” have not been Presidents Reagan, Bush, Clinton,
Bush, and Obama. They violated serial impeachable laws: the Boland Amendment, § 413 of the
National Security Act, FISA “exclusivity provision,” PCA limitations on domestic military law
enforcement, and the Social Security Act. Therefore, NARA MDR and ADR decision makers
and/or NARA General Counsel Stern should not be making a “don’t ask don’t tell” mistake.
The NARA MDR and ADR decision makers should not be implementing the “conscious
avoidance” of facts litigation strategy that NARA General Counsel Stern and AUSA Mahoney
used in Robert v National Archives. “Conscious avoidance occurs when a person deliberately
closes his eyes to avoid having knowledge of what would otherwise be obvious to him.” U.S. v.
Reyes, 302 F.3d 48, 49-50 (2d Cir. 2002). See 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ E-G, V, W, BB, AAA.
The # 1 “9/3/85 North-FBI Revell “North Notebook” log entry” is a connect-the-dots
document to the “Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File’” and “FBI Abshire”
documents that reveal whether FBI Director Judge Webster knew about the “black operation” at
IMC in 1985. This is a “Past is Prologue” document because it reveals whether FBI Directors
Webster (1978-1987), (Acting) Otto (1987), Sessions (1987-1993), (Acting) Clarke (1993),
Freeh (1993-2001), (Acting) Thomas Pickard (2001), and Mueller (2001- ), knew that a 1984-
2011 FBI counterintelligence “plumber” unit has had “Commanders in Chief” who were not
Presidents Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama. See CIA MDR WP §§ A, Q, R.
The # 2 “9/6/85 North-CIA-FBI Exemptions 1, 3 and NHAO” document is a connect-the-
dots document to the “Peter Keisler Collection” and “FBI Abshire” documents that reveal
whether 1986 Assistant WH Counsel Keisler knew the CIA-DIA “black operation” at IMC had
supplied the Contras with medical supplies and treatment paid for with unaudited HHS funds,
and not NHAO funds, in violation of the Boland Amendment. This is a “Past is Prologue”
document because it establishes the 1988 mens rea of Associate WH Counsel Keisler and 2002-
2007 AAG of the Civil Division Keisler re the funding for the 1984-2007 NSA TSP data banks.
26
The # 3 “9/16/85 North-Call to Perot Exemptions 1 and 3” document is a connect-the-
dots document to the “Perot” and “FBI Abshire” documents that reveal whether FBI Director
Judge Webster knew that 1985-1986 off-OMB Budget unaudited HHS funds were used to pay
for medical treatment and supplies of the Contras in violation of the Boland Amendment. This is
a “Past is Prologue” document because the off-OMB Budget 1985 “Jackson nonacquiescence
policy” standard continues in 2011 to be the standard that SSA Commissioner Astrue “rigs” the
2011 SSA computer to generate unaudited SSI funds to pay for the “immaculate construction”
and maintenance of the 1984-2011 NSA TSP and PSP data banks not paid for with classified
OMB Budget funds without the knowledge of AG Holder and President Obama.
The # 4 “10/1/85 CIA-DOD FOIA Exemption 1 and 3 and reference to medivac helos”
document is a connect-the-dots document to the “Peter Keisler Collection” and “FBI Abshire”
documents that reveal whether 1986 Assistant WH Counsel Keisler knew that FBI Director
Judge Webster’s December 1986 “task force of departmental general counselors” knew that a
DIA-CIA-FBI domestic counterintelligence “plumber” unit accessed the 1986 NSA TSP data
banks to prevent “leaks” of off-OMB Budget funding source for the “black operations” at IMC
and NSA. This is a “Past is Prologue” document because a 2011 DIA-CIA-FBI domestic
counterintelligence “plumber” unit continues to be tasked to prevent “leaks” of the off-OMB
Budget “Jackson nonacquiescence policy” funding source for the 2011 NSA TSP data banks.
Hence, the importance of the release of these four 1985 one page Robert II v CIA and
DOJ “North Notebook” documents that could trigger AG Holder’s request that soon-to-be DOD
Secretary Panetta order DOD General Counsel Johnson to conduct an investigation of the 1984-
2011 “don’t ask don’t tell” decision making process that has resulted in the faux “Commander in
Chiefs of the NSA Director military officers Faurer (1981-1985), Odom (1985-1988),
Studeman (1988-1992), Mc Connell (1992-1996), Minihan (1996-1999), Hayden (1999-2005),
and Alexander (2005-), accessing the “do not exist” 1984-2011 NSA TSP and PSP data banks
without the knowledge of Presidents Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama.
The greatest risk to the national security is the 2011 “Past is Prologue” PCA violation
whereby a faux “Commander in Chief” has unlimited Orwellian “1984” access to the “do not
exist” 1984-2011 NSA TSP data banks now in the custody of DOD Cyber Commander-NSA
Director Lt. General Alexander, without any Article I, Article II, and Article III checks and
balances. This is an unnecessary risk now that the Top Secret cat-is-out-of-the-bag of the
existence of the 1984-2011 ”Top Secret America” domestic surveillance program as revealed in
the jaw-dropping Priest and Arkin Locator Map with thousands of USG and private contractor
work stations hidden in plain sight. http://projects.washingtonpost.com/top-secret-america/map/
Therefore, the NARA MDR decision-makers should be consulting with the NARA ADR
decision-makers when they make their decisions whether to accept jurisdiction of the 5-9-11
NARA MDR and ADR requests for these seven sets of classified documents in the custody of
NARA Archivist Ferriero. The four pages of 1985 “North Notebook” documents are located in
the NARA Special Access Room. If the NARA ADR decision-makers do not take jurisdiction of
the 5-9-11 ADR request, then there will be an ISCAP appeal. Upon information and belief, there
will also be FOIA requests by investigative reporters seeking the 2011 release of these four 1985
redacted “North Notebook” pages to learn 1984-2011 U.S. history being hidden-in-plain-sight.

K. The three NARA MDR documents are connect-the-dots documents to the 5-9-11 CIA
MDR request re the July 27, 2011 FOIA requested # 5 “all Robert II v CIA “c (3)
exclusion” ex parte Declarations” that are in the 2011 custody of CIA Director Tenet
The NARA MDR decision makers are placed on Notice that the three July 27, 2010
undocketed classified “Perot”, “Peter Keisler Collection” and “Robert v National Archives
‘Bulky Evidence File’” documents are connect-the-dots documents with the 5-9-11 CIA MDR re
the # 5 “all Robert II v CIA “c (3) exclusion” ex parte Declarations.” If CIA Director Panetta
decides that the CIA documents are not “continued classification” documents, then these are
connect-the-dots to the four 1985 NARA ADR # 1-# 4 CIA documents and the “FBI Abshire”
documents. These ex parte Declarations reveal whether CIA General Counsels Scott Muller
(2002-2004) and Acting CIA General Counsel John Rizzo (2004-2009) implemented the “Barrett
nonacquiescence policy and withheld facts from Judge Seybert. See 5-9-11 CIA WP §§ E, F.
CIA Director Panetta will consult with CIA General Counsel Stephen Preston. He was
the 1993-1995 DOD Principal Deputy General Counsel and 1995-1998 Civil Division DAAG
responsible for appellate litigation including Gordon v. Shalala, 55 F.3d 101 (2d Cir. 1995),
cert. den, 517 U.S. 1103 (1996). Therefore, he knows whether the off-OMB Budget funds paying
for the “do not exist” 1984-1997 NSA TSP data banks were “Jackson nonacquiescence policy”
funds when CIA Director Panetta was the 1993-1994 OMB Budget Director and 1994-1997
White House Chief of Staff. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ T, U, Z, AA.
CIA Director Panetta will also consult with 1995-1996 CIA General Counsel Jeffrey
Smith who is a 2009-2011 Member of CIA Director Panetta’s External Advisory Board. He was
Senator Sam Nunn’s designee to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the
Iran/Contra Committee and has an institutional memory as to what the Senate-House Committee
learned about the implementation of the extreme “Unitary Executive” theory of AG Meese and
the disciples of that theory as explained in the November 18, 1987 Minority Report of
Congressman Dick Cheney that was drafted by 1981-1984 CIA Assist. Gen. Counsel Addington.
From 1992-1993, CIA External Advisory Board Member Smith was Chief of the
President Clinton DOD Transition Team. He also chaired the 1993 Joint Security Commission
established by Secretary of Defense Les Aspin and CIA Director James Woolsey, to examine
the security procedures of the defense and intelligence communities and the private companies
that contract with them. Therefore, he knows of the contractual relationships between NSA and
the private companies who have accessed the “do not exist” NSA “Top Secret America”
domestic surveillance data banks that investigative reporters Priest and Arkin mapped out in
their July 19, 2010 Washington Post Series. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ K, M, N, CC, DD.
The # 5 “all Robert II v CIA “c (3) exclusion” ex parte Declarations” documents are
connect-the-dots documents with the “Perot” documents. They reveal whether CIA Director
Casey had used the off-OMB Budget “Jackson nonacquiescence policy” funds as the funding
source not only for the off-the-shelf medical delivery system at IMC, but also the “do not exist”
1984-1988 NSA domestic military surveillance program that could not be funded with classified
OMB Budget funds because that would have required compliance with § 413 of the National
Security Act, the “exclusivity” provision of the FISA, and PCA military limitations.
28
The # 5 “all Robert II v CIA “c (3) exclusion” ex parte Declarations” documents are
connect-the-dots documents with the “Peter Keisler Collection” documents because they reveal
whether in 1986-1988 Assistant-Associate General Counsel Keisler knew of the “do not exist”
1984-1988 NSA TSP domestic surveillance program that was funded with off-OMB Budget
“Jackson nonacquiescence policy” funds without the knowledge of President Reagan, his client.
These are “Past is Prologue” documents because 2002-2007 AAG of the Civil Division Keisler
knew that the “immaculate construction” of the pre-9-11 1984-2001 NSA TSP data banks and
the post-9/11 2001-2005 NSA PSP data banks were funded with off-OMB Budget “Jackson
nonacquiescence policy” funds without the knowledge of President George W. Bush. See 5-8-
07 PIDB WP § A ,11-11-08 DAG Filip WP, and 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ K, M, N, CC, DD.
The # 5 “all Robert II v CIA “c (3) exclusion” ex parte Declarations” documents are
connect-the-dots documents with the “Robert v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File’”
documents because they reveal whether the 1989 “chain of command” attorney of FBI Agent
Allison was FBI Director Judge Sessions or IC Walsh or a faux “Commander in Chief” who
was not President George H.W. Bush. These are also “Past is Prologue” documents because they
reveal the implementation of the “Barrett nonacquiescence policy” whereby in Robert v National
Archives NARA General Counsel Stern, EDNY AUSA Mahoney, and EDNY U.S. Attorney
Lynch withheld material facts from Judge Wexler and the Second Circuit, and in Robert II v
CIA and DOJ CIA General Counsel Muller, Acting CIA General Counsel Rizzo, EDNY U.S.
Attorney Mauskopf, and EDNY Chief Riley withheld material facts from Judge Seybert. This
was in order to protect “leaks” of the CIA off-OMB Budget “continued” funding source for the
CIA-DIA-FBI “black operations” accessing the NSA data banks. See 7-27-10 WP §§ N, LL-XX.
These are also “Past is Prologue” documents because they reveal the “policy and
practice” of the 1984-2011 “black operations” of the “do not exist” daisy chain of “shadow
government” attorney-patriots who have made the 1984-2011 operational decisions re access to
the “do not exist” 1984-2011 NSA TSP and PSP data banks when their clients were the 1984-
2011 Orweillian faux “Commanders in Chief” and not Presidents Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush,
and Obama. This includes the policy of lying-by-omission to Article III Judges in addition to
their Presidents. Based on the extreme “Unitary Executive” theory of AG Meese, this has been
necessary to protect the off-OMB Budget funding source for the “do not exist” NSA TSP and
PSP data banks accessed by the 1984-2011 NSA Directors. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ K, CC, DD.
Hence, the importance of the CIA MDR review of the # 5 “all Robert II v CIA “c (3)
exclusion” ex parte Declarations” documents because CIA Director Panetta will have an
opportunity to consider the Robert II v CIA and DOJ plaintiff’s quiet settlement offer. If
accepted, this would moot the Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA appellant’s 2011 OLC, ODNI,
NARA, and CIA MDR and ADR requests. As a result, AG Holder would end the use of
“Jackson nonacquiescence policy” policy funds to pay for the “do not exist” 1984-2011 NSA
data banks now in the custody of DOD Cyber-Commander-NSA Director Lt. General Alexander.
Therefore, the NARA MDR decision-makers should be consulting with NARA General
Counsel Stern who can learn from CIA General Counsel Preston whether there will be CIA
MDR jurisdiction for the # 5 Robert II v CIA and DOJ documents. If so, then there will be
coordination of the CIA MDR, NARA MDR and ADR of re eight sets of documents.

L. NARA General Counsel Stern knows the answer to the 1985-2011 “Commander in
Chief riddle” from reading the seven sets of NARA FOIA requested 1985-1989 classified
documents now subject to 5-9-11 NARA ADR and MDR requests, and his emails with USG
attorneys including his Robert v National Archives co-counsel EDNY AUSA Mahoney
NARA General Counsel Stern knows the answer to the 1985-2011 “Commander in Chief
riddle” from reading the seven sets of NARA FOIA requested 1985-1989 classified documents
now subject to 5-9-11 NARA ADR and MDR, his emails with USG attorneys in Robert v
National Archives, and the 2010-2011 emails re the July 27, 2010 and October 29, 2010 NARA
FOIA requests. He knows that EDNY AUSA Kathleen Mahoney, his co-counsel in Robert v
National Archives, has also been the DOJ lead counsel in Ford v Shalala, Robert VII v DOJ, and
Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA. He knows she knows that President Obama is not the
“Commander in Chief” of SSA Commissioner Astrue, the co-defendant in Robert VIII v DOJ,
HHS, and SSA. He knows that President Obama would not knowingly breach his Article II “take
Care” duty and violate the 2009-2011 due process and equal protection rights of millions of
Ford class members. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ C, D, J, P-U, Z, ZZ, and 1-4-11 PIAB WP 34, 35.
The “Commander-in-Chief riddle” is based on the fact that President Obama possesses
the Schweiker v. Chilicky, 108 S. Ct. 2460 (1988), “normal sensibilities” of human beings as
applied to the millions of aged, blind, and disabled 2009-2011 SSI recipients who are Ford v.
Shalala, 87 F. Supp 2d 163 (E.D.N.Y. 1999), class members. “The trauma to respondents, and
thousands of others like them, must surely have gone beyond what anyone of normal sensibilities
would wish to see imposed on innocent disabled citizens.” Id. at 2470. Emphasis Added.
AUSA Mahoney has been the 1999-2011 lead counsel in Ford and knows that SSA
Commissioner Astrue continues in May, 2011 to “rig” the 2011 SSA computer to apply the
“Jackson nonacquiescence policy” contrary to his own sworn January 24, 2007 Senate Finance
Committee testimony that the “nonacquiescence” policy had ended prior his becoming HHS
General Counsel in 1989. “I am particularly proud of having led the effort to terminate the
agency’s longstanding “nonacquiescence” policies, an achievement highlighted by Chairman
Moynihan when I was last before you in 1989 during my confirmation hearing for General
Counsel of HHS.” http://finance.senate.gov/hearings/testimony/2007test/012407matest.pdf.
SSA Commissioner Astrue had been the 1985 Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of
Legislation, 1986 Legal Counsel to the SSA Deputy Commissioner for Programs, 1986-1988
Counselor to the SSA Commissioner, 1988 Associate White House Counsel for President
Reagan, 1989 Associate White House Counsel for President Bush, and 1989-1993 HHS General
Counsel, before becoming the 2007- SSA Commissioner. In 1988 he was President Reagan’s
Associate WH Counsel along with Associate WH Counsel Keisler. He knew that on January 24,
2007, that then-AAG of the Civil Division Keisler knew his Senate testimony was false because
the “Jackson nonacquiescence policy” continued to be applied to 2007 Ford class members.
Hence, the importance of the NARA “Peter Keisler Collection” documents which reveal that
they both knew in 1988 when Chilicky was decided, that President Reagan did not know that the
off-OMB Budget source for the “immaculate construction” of 1984-1988 “do not exist” NSA
data banks, were “Jackson nonacquiescence policy” funds not paid to the millions of aged, blind,
and disabled SSI recipients who did not reside in Seventh Circuit states. 7-27-10 DOJ WP § Q.
30
President Reagan’s 1988 Associate White House Counsels Astrue and Keisler both knew
that President Reagan possessed the Chilicky “normal sensibilities” of human beings. Both 1988
Associate White House Counsels Astrue and Keisler knew that President Reagan would never
have approved payment for CIA Director Casey’s “black operations” at IMC and the NSA with
off-OMB Budget unaudited HHS funds. Both 1988 Associate White House Counsels Astrue and
Keisler knew that if President Reagan had known that 1984-1986 unaudited HHS funds had been
used to pay for the CIA-DIA-FBI “black operation” at IMC and for the illegal “do not exist”
NSA TSP data banks, that these were impeachable violations of the Boland Amendment, § 413
(a) of the National Security Act, “exclusivity provision” of FISA, PCA limitations on domestic
military law enforcement, and Social Security Act. See 3-18-11 ISCAP WP §§ D-K.
Therefore, 1988 Associate White House Counsels Astrue and Keisler knew that the
“Commander in Chief” of CIA Director Casey (January 28, 1981-January 29, 1987), and CIA
Director Judge Webster (May 26, 1987-August 31, 1991), was not President Reagan. They
knew that based on the extreme “Unitary Executive” theory of AG Meese, that their faux
“Commander in Chief” had ordered them to withhold from President Reagan, their client, their
knowledge of the illegal CIA domestic “black operations” in order to provide President Reagan
with a “plausible deniability” defense to serial impeachable violations of law. They knew that
they had to provide President Reagan with a “plausible deniability” defense to the impeachable
violations of law that had to continue in order to pay for the “immaculate construction” and the
maintenance of the “do not exist” illegal NSA TSP data banks that was being accessed by NSA
Directors Lt. General Faurer (1981-1985) and General Odom (1985-1988) whose “Commander
in Chief” was not President Reagan. See 7-27-10 DOJ WP §§ K, M, N, AA, BB, CC, DD.
The fact that 1988 Associate WH Counsel Astrue became President Obama’s 2009-
2011 Social Security Commissioner, makes the July 27, 2010 FOIA requested “Peter Keisler
Collection” documents and the other six NARA FOIA requested connect-the-dots classified
documents, “Past is Prologue” documents that prove that SSA Commissioner Astrue’s 2009-
2011 “Commander in Chief” has not been President Obama. This almost incredible allegation is
most easily proven by the NARA MDR decision-makers asking NARA General Counsel Stern
the following questions that his Robert v National Archives co-counsel, AUSA Mahoney, the
lead counsel in Ford, Robert VII v DOJ, and Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA, can answer:
1. Was SSA Commissioner Astrue’s January 24, 2007 Senate Finance Committee testimony
false that the “nonacquiescence” policy had ended prior to 1989?
2. Is President Obama violating the May, 2011 due process rights of millions of 1994-2011 Ford
class members because the Ford “remedy” Notices do not cite to SSI regulations, including the
“Jackson” regulation, 20 C.F.R. § 416.1130 (b)?
3. Is President Obama violating the May, 2011 equal protection rights of millions of 1994-2011
Ford class members because the “Jackson” regulation, 20 C.F.R. § 416.1130 (b), is only
enforced in the Seventh Circuit Sates of Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin?
4. Who is the “Commander in Chief” of DOD Cyber-Commander-NSA Director Lt. General
Alexander when in 2011 he accesses the “do not exist” 1984-2001 NSA TSP data banks?
31
Upon information and belief, NARA General Counsel Stern knows the answers:
1. SSA Commissioner Astrue’s January 24, 2007 sworn testimony was false.
2. Pursuant to the extreme “Unitary Executive” theory of AG Meese, President Obama’s Article
II Commander in Chief duty trumps his Article II “take Care that the laws are faithfully
executed” duty to protect the due process rights of millions of Ford class members, because 2011
off-OMB Budget “Jackson nonacquiescence policy” funds continue to be needed to pay for the
“do not exist” NSA “Top Secret America” domestic surveillance program identified by
investigative reporters Priest and Arkin in their Washington Post July 19, 2010 series.
3. Pursuant to the extreme “Unitary Executive” theory of AG Meese, President Obama’s Article
II Commander in Chief duty trumps his Article II “take Care that the laws are faithfully
executed” duty of equal protection enforcement of the SSI regulations in all 50 States, because
2011 off-OMB Budget “Jackson nonacquiescence policy” funds not paid to the millions of SSI
recipients who reside in the 47 states that are not in the Seventh Circuit, continue to be needed to
pay for the “do not exist” 1984-2011 NSA TSP and PSP data banks that continue not to be
funded with 2011 classified OMB Budget funds.
4. He does not know the name of the faux “Commander in Chief” of DOD Cyber Commander-
NSA Director Lt. General Alexander because he does not have clearance to know this Top “Top
Secret” fact that is also not known by President Obama.
If the NSA MDR decision-makers think these are absurd upon information and belief
answers, then they should have the courage to ask NARA General Counsel Stern these four
questions. As per his May 3, 2011 testimony to Chairman Issa of the House Committee on
Oversight and Government Reform, NARA General Counsel has had communications with the
White House staff re emails that have been preserved. If NARA General Counsel Stern’s May 3,
2011 sworn testimony is accurate, then AG Holder can read 2009-2011 Cyber Commander-NSA
Director Lt. General Alexander’s emails and learn, before his Robert VIII Brief is filed by May
25, 2011, whether Robert’s almost incredible allegation is true that there has been a 2009-2011
faux “Commander in Chief” of Cyber Commander-NSA Director Lt. General Alexander re his
2009-2011 access to the “do not exist” 1984-2011 NSA TSP and PSP data banks in his custody.
In defense of NARA General Counsel Stern, he has signed a non-disclosure agreement
not to reveal classified information. Hence, the importance of this 5-9-11 NARA MDR request
for the declassification of three sets of connect-the-dots documents, along with the 5-9-11 NARA
ADR request for the declassification of the # 1-# 4 1985 “North Notebook” documents, the 5-9-
11 CIA MDR request for the declassification of the # 5 “all Robert II v CIA “c (3) exclusion” ex
parte Declarations” documents, the 4-11-11 OLC MDR request for the declassification of the
redacted May 6, 2004 OLC Memorandum of AAG of the OLC Goldsmith, and the 4-11-11
ODNI MDR request for the declassification of the “NCTC TSP and PSP data banks access
guidelines” documents. If these are connect-the-dots classified documents, then AG Holder can
make his E.O.13526 § 6.2(c) “shall” interpretation whether the § 3.6(a) the “Glomar Response”
defense applies to documents that reveal 2011 impeachable violations of federal laws and the
name of a “fifth column” foe faux “Commander in Chief” who is not President Obama.
32
M. NARA MDR summary
This WP is in support of the May 9, 2011 request for a NARA Mandatory
Declassification Review (MDR) of the July 27, 2010 NARA FOIA request re the # 1 NARA
“Perot” documents, # 2 NARA “Peter Keisler Collection” documents, and # 3 NARA “Robert
v National Archives ‘Bulky Evidence File’” documents. The NARA MDR requester is seeking
the prompt docketing and MDR review of these documents to prevent AG Holder from
committing a “fraud upon the court” in Robert VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA in which AG
Holder’s Second Circuit Brief is to be filed by May 25, 2011.
These are connect-the-dots to the May 9, 2010 NARA ADR re # 1-# 4 1985 Robert II v
CIA and DOJ “North Notebook” documents and May 9, 2011 CIA MDR re the # 5 “all Robert
II v CIA “c (3) exclusion” ex parte Declarations” documents. They are also connect-the-dots to
the April 11, 2011 NARA MDR re the March 18, 2011 released redacted May 4, 2006 OLC
Memorandum of AAG of the OLC Goldsmith to AG Ashcroft regarding the legal basis of the
pre-9/11 NSA TSP and the post-9/11 NSA PSP, and the ODNI MDR re the “Glomar Response”
decision to withhold the “NCTC TSP and PSP data banks access guidelines” documents. These
documents will prove to AG Holder whether USG attorneys had committed a “fraud upon the
court” in Robert v National Archives, 1 Fed. Appx. 85 (2d Cir. 2001), Robert v DOJ, 2001 WL
34077473 (EDNY), 26 Fed. Appx. 87 (2d Cir. 2002), and Robert VII v DOJ, 2005 U.S. Dist.
LEXIS 39616, 193 Fed. Appx. 8 (2d Cir. 2006), cert. den. 127 S.Ct. 1133 (2007), by withholding
facts from the Article III Judges to protect the off-OMB Budget funding source for illegal CIA
domestic “black operations” that were not funded with classified OMB Budget funds.
The NARA MDR requester also seeks to prove to AG Holder that the extreme “Unitary
Executive” of AG Meese has been implemented by a 1984-2011 daisy-chain of “shadow
government” attorney patriots whose “Commanders in Chiefs” have not been Presidents Reagan,
Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama. They knew there had been impeachable violations of federal
laws without the knowledge of their Presidents. After reading these documents, AG Holder, a
1976-1988 DOJ Public Integrity Section attorney, will be able to make his own judgment as to
whether the 1984-2004 “unitary Executive” patriots were “geniuses” as did the courageous
former-AAG of the OLC Jack Goldsmith conclude prior to his honorable resignation:
They were geniuses at this,” Goldsmith said. “they could divide up all these
problems in the bureaucracy, ask different people to decide things in their lanes,
control the facts that they gave them, and then put the answers together to get
the result they want. Conflict Over Spying Led White House to Brink. Gellman,
Washington Post, 9-14-08, internet print out 3 of 9. Emphasis Added.
Hence, the request for the docketing of this NARA MDR by May 19, 2011. This will
provide an opportunity for NARA Chief FOIA Officer-General Counsel Stern to inform the
DOJ Chief FOIA Officer-Associate AG Thomas Perrelli of the content of the three NARA MDR
documents and the four NARA ADR documents. In this way, AG Holder can perform his due
diligence duty and not commit a “fraud upon the court” in his Robert VIII Brief by either curing
the misrepresentations of fact and law made by AG Gonzales in Robert VII v DOJ and Robert
VIII v DOJ, HHS, and SSA or accepting the appellant’s quiet settlement offer.
