PLEASE READ: Important Message From Counsel's Office

We were informed last evening by the Department of Justice that
it has opened an investigation into possible unauthorized
disclosures concerning the identity of an undercover CIA
employee.  The Department advised us that it will be sending 
a letter today instructing us to preserve all materials that 
might be relevant to its investigation.  Its letter will 
provide more specific instructions on the materials in 
which it is interested, and we will communicate those 
instructions directly to you.  In the meantime, you must 
preserve all materials that might in any way be related 
to the Department's investigation.  Any questions concerning 
this request should be directed to Associate Counsels Ted Ullyot 
or Raul Yanes in the Counsel to the President's office.  
The President has directed full cooperation with this investigation.


                            Alberto R. Gonzales

                         Counsel to the President
