TO: Senior Staff
FROM: Mark Hoffer
RE: Law Department World Trade Center Unit Evidence Collection Project,
The World Trade Center (WTC) Unit at the New York City Law Department must collect all World
Trade Center related materials created as the result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the
resulting rescue, recovery and cleanup efforts, from all City agencies. The Law Department must do this to
ensure that it has all the information it needs to protect the City’s interest in pending or potential litigation and
other matters associated with the World Trade Center attacks and the recovery effort. The law requires that this
information be properly preserved as potential evidence in WTC-related litigation, so DEP’s cooperation in this
effort is essential. A group of WTC Unit attorneys and paralegals will be collecting WTC-related materials.
both paper and electronic, from DEP over the next two months.
The WTC Unit needs you to fill out the attached questionnaire regarding your WTC-related activities
and information. Based upon your response, members of the WTC Unit may contact you to schedule an
interview to ascertain what documents and electronic data you have and where they are located. Most
interviews will not exceed one hour.
The interviews will not be recorded in any way and you will not be required to retrieve or review
documents. The WTC Unit intends to collect all important documentation and electronic information with the
least possible interference to anyone’s work schedule.
