SCHEDULE OF DOCUMENTS TO THE DECLARATION OF JOEL I. KLEIN

As described in the Declaration of Joel I. Klein, the following is a schedule of documents responsive to Visa U.S.A.'s request for economic memoranda (as described in its Motion to Compel and clarified in subsequent correspondence among counsel). All of the documents are intra-Antitrust Division communications concerning its investigation of Visa U.S.A. and the credit card industry that culminated in this litigation.

Moreover, any facts contained in the documents are not segregable in that they reflect the author's or authors' selective judgment or opinion about which particular facts to include for review and, in many cases, are inextricably intertwined with the author's or authors' opinions, thoughts, and analyses concerning those facts.
