that he has ADD Attention Deficit Disorder . though he does have a
good memory, he remembers.some things better than others. The direct
questioning by SA[::::::::]yesterday regarding the meeting and
surrounding circumstances jarred his memory. When he was at AlHazmis
and Al-Mihdhar's apartment on the day of the party, he spent four or.
five hours there. He specifically remembered this event right away
because of the significant amount of time he spent with them that day;
At the time of-the earlier interviews l0/O4/2001 and 10/O6/2001!, he
believed that the party was the first time he met the individuals until
later realizing he did have an earlier chance meeting with them. Justas[::::]explained to SA.[::::::;]yesterday, he was confusing twoevents at the same restaurant an was unsure who he met during one of _'
the occasions.[:::::]was hesitant to provide misleading or inaccuratelinformation to the agents, or say something he was unsure of. [g:::::;]

T The first time[:;:::] was at the Mediterranean restaurant/cafe
