FOIA 2014-0258-F requested materials from the National Security Council related to President George W. Bush’s first meeting with Prime Minister Maliki on June 13, 2006.

This FOIA primarily contains general correspondence between administration officials, biographies, participant lists, agendas, news articles, reports, presentations, transcripts and statements. These materials are from the National Security Council and include an April Iraqi Trip Report by Barry McCaffrey and a Joint Statement by President George W. Bush and Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin announcing the global initiative to combat nuclear terrorism. Electronic records consist of fact sheets, articles, Q and As, talking points, radio addresses, final testimony, schedules and pool reports. These materials relate to a scheduled meeting at Camp David in which President George W. Bush was to have a video conference with Prime Minister Maliki in Iraq; however, President George W.

Materials include a final Q and A prior to the Camp David meetings, a final fact sheet at the conclusion of the meetings entitled “Camp David Meetings: Building on Progress in Iraq,” articles and pool reports related to the surprise visit, and schedules for the Camp David meetings. Additionally, there are talking points, articles, and other published materials regarding the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi; final testimony by Ambassador James F. Jeffrey on Iraq after the Camp David meetings; and a radio address by President George W. Bush from June 17, 2006.
