Phoenix Memo
The Phoenix memo is a letter sent to FBI headquarters on July 10, 2001 by FBI special agent Kenneth Williams recommending the assembling of a worldwide listing of civil aviation schools.〔(Phoenix Memo )〕 Williams, then stationed in Phoenix, Arizona, was at the time investigating students at some of these schools for possible terrorist links.
==Content==
According to Williams, the purpose of the memo was to
advise the Bureau and New York of the possibility of a coordinated effort by Osama Bin Laden to send students to the United States to attend civil aviation universities and colleges. Phoenix has observed an inordinate number of individuals of investigative interest who are attending or who have attended civil aviation universities and colleges in the State of Arizona.
The recommendations outlined by Williams were ignored or put aside due to other concerns. The memo was seen by at least a dozen FBI officials, including John P. O'Neill, but it was never passed to acting director Thomas J. Pickard, his successor Robert Mueller, or the Central Intelligence Agency. In addition, the existence of the memo was not made known to President George W. Bush and his senior national security staff until May 2002. Mueller told Congress in a 2002 hearing that failure to act on the memo was due to deficits in the Bureau's analytical capabilities.
