Atta cautioned bin al-Shibh that this would be difficult, but agreed to include the White House as a possible target and suggested they keep the Capitol as an alternative in case the White House proved too difficult.
Atta indvendte over for Binalshibh, at det nok ville være for vanskeligt, men indvilligede i at have Det Hvide Hus med som et muligt mål og foreslog at holde Capitol i baghånden, hvis Det Hvide Hus viste sig at være for svært at få ram på.
