                    MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR COMPLETION
                          OF CLASSIFICATION REVIEW

       The government hereby moves to extend time for completion of the classification

review of the remainder of the pleadings filed under seal in this matter. Pursuant to prior

orders of the Court dated November 15, 2006, January 17, 2007, and March 1, 2007, the

classification reviews of the sealed pleadings in this matter were to be completed by April

15, 2007.

       As of today, April 16, 2007, the classification review for a significant portion of

the sealed pleadings has been completed by the relevant national security agencies, and
                                                 
the redacted versions of those pleadings are being filed with the Court today. The

remainder of the sealed pleadings have been reviewed by one national security agency,
       
but another agency's review is still pending. The agencies responsible for completing the

review have informed the government that they are unable to complete the review of the

remaining pages by today. The government respectfully requests that the Court extend
                          
the deadline for completion of the classification review of the remaining pleadings until
                          
May 1, 2007.
                            Respectfully submitted,
