Paxvector came across this in the National Archives:
A letter from former Acting FBI Director Thomas Pickard to the 9/11 Commission reconciling apparently conflicting statements that Pickard and his former boss, Attorney General john Ashcroft, made to the commission.
Pickard writes that when he said Ashcroft was not interested in a briefing he gave him on terrorism this only referred to one aspect of the FBI's counterterrorist operations--warnings of an al-Qaeda attack in the summer of 2001. Ashcroft did not tell Pickard not to talk to him about other aspects of the FBI's counterterrorist operations. When Ashcroft was asked about this event by the commission, the commission asked him whether he told Pickard not to brief him on terrorism at all, and Ashcroft truthfully answered that he had not.
