FBIDESCR : WE RECEIVED A REQUEST FROM DETECTIVEW (DET.)[
FULLTEXT : 09/20/01

We received a request from Detective Det. L

IPOIILICE DEPARTMENT, who claims to be working with
of the FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION FBI.

They are interested In learning whether MASSPORT

sponsored a seminar on airport security in October, 1999. Det.
I Iwanted to know If there were two .Saudi Arabian and an
Egyptian National who attended that class and, if available, who.

I contacted Mr. JOSEPH LAWLESS head of Public Safety at

MASSPORT 617-561-3402 who would be the party responsible for
presenting such seminar. Mr. LAWLESS remembers some sort of
seminar that was put on for airport managers 'around that time but
could not recall any details. Mr. LAWLESS instructed his
assistant Ms. ROSEMARY REED 781-945-8340 to research this
seminar and to provide class list and overview of course if any .
of the details are still available.

Ms. REED stated because of ongoing operations and news

conference scheduled for this AM, she will research this as soon
as she has a free period and will notify me. She stated I should
have this information by 3 PM. •'9/11 Law
Enforcement
At approximately 3:45 PM from information I received Privacy
from Ms. REED, two security classes were conducted one in
February, 1999 and one in July, 1999.

The class in February did contain foreign nationals

from China and the July class contained only managers from other
United States airports. The dass did contain information on how
Logan security system works including bay scanning, ramp access,
badges, etc. and tours.

There were no names listed on class roster that would

indicate a potential Egyptian or Saudi citizenship. •

Ms. REEO -did suggest that-the companies that provide

security for airlines do run tours for diverse groups such as
JOHNSON & WALES UNIVERSITY, BOSTON GAS.
