facility. Tire been calling our facility a &tendon facility up until recently, but It Is
actual! a 'ad interrogation facility. It is not to be confused with a detention facility
1 Ws not a long or mid- term holding facility. What: we consider the

so my guidance to Rich is after 48 hours let's get this guy to 7RCT, more or less to take
the stress off' this camp for holding this detainee. We've not been keeping guys here
longer than 72
