What this page does not contain

This page is about a company, not about Henry Kissinger and not about Joshua Cooper Ramo. Both men have their own pages here and this one does not repeat them. The firm’s name reaches 93 documents of this release, and 79 of them never name Henry Kissinger at all. Where a document concerns him rather than the company, this page says so and stops.1

Nobody at this firm ever signs as the firm, and no record in this project’s index is marked as sent by it. A search of the whole index returns no document whose sender field carries the word Kissinger, against the same column returning 1,315 and 323,424 documents for two other people and nothing for a token invented for the test. But that zero is a fact about a field, not about conduct: 42 of the 93 documents were written by a named employee of the firm, over the firm’s own signature block, and this page is mostly about those.1

Eighty-two of the 93 documents are short mail printouts averaging two sheets each. That is a letterhead population, and most of it is one office asking another office for an appointment. This page does not inflate it. Ten distinct exchanges, one undated corporate proposal and one dated run of participant lists are what the record supports, and copies of one message are counted once.1

There is no passenger list, no manifest and no flight record behind anything written here. A manifest-shape screen built for this page, proved on seven planted examples with two designed negatives silent, was run over every sheet of every document in the population. Ninety of the 93 documents are silent. Three are not, and all three are refused: nothing from any of them is quoted, summarised, characterised or counted, and their identifiers are not listed.2

Nothing any complainant or survivor said appears here in any form. One dated group of documents in this population is refused entirely because a person who may be a survivor or a complainant is identifiable in it. No attribute of that person appears anywhere on this page: no name, no initial, no age, no relation and no other particular, and the group’s identifiers are not listed, because listing them beside what they concern would point.2

No telephone number, fax number or electronic address is reproduced here, the firm’s own included.

What the documents say it doesOne description only, and it is a third party’s: a geop=litical consulting firm that advises multinational companies, in a biography of a former officer forwarded to Jeffrey Epstein in October 2012. The damaged characters are on the paper9

What the correspondence is aboutAppointments. Ten exchanges between the firm’s office and Jeffrey Epstein’s office, 2013 to 2018, arranging breakfasts, lunches and visits; one delivery of six books; and a five-year effort to keep Epstein’s address correct in the firm’s contact file1
ResponseNone located. No statement by the firm about any of this has been found, and no request for one was made from here14
Not established hereThat the firm had any business with Jeffrey Epstein; that any officer other than Ramo knew of the correspondence; that the China proposal was written by anyone at the firm, or acted on; or that any meeting the firm’s office arranged took place15

Kissinger Associates, Inc. is a New York consulting company at 350 Park Avenue, and it appears in the Epstein release almost entirely as a letterhead. Ninety-three documents carry its name. Eighty-two of them are short mail printouts. Its own employees wrote forty-two of them, and what they wrote about, nearly every time, was a diary.1

That is the finding, not a disappointment. Between July 2013 and November 2018 the office of a private advisory firm wrote repeatedly to the office of Jeffrey Epstein to book, move, confirm and cancel appointments for its Vice Chairman, to ask where to post something, to send six books, and twice to check that it still held the right address for him. The firm never signs as itself. It signs as Ybel Collado and as Chelsea J. Airey, over a block giving the company, the floor and the street, and it is those blocks, not any statement of the firm’s business, that carry most of what this release records about the company.1

The signature block is the record

A search of this project’s index returns no document at all whose sender is marked Kissinger. That zero holds across the whole index, not merely this population, and it was taken beside two controls on the same column that returned 1,315 and 323,424 documents for two other people, and a third that returned nothing for a token generated for the test. Twenty-three documents in the whole release carry the word associates in that field and not one of the twenty-three is in this population.1

Read on its own that figure would be badly misleading, and this page says so plainly. Forty-two of the 93 documents name an employee of the firm in the sender field. The company is simply not the kind of correspondent a mail system records: a firm writes through a person, and the person’s block names the firm underneath her own name.1

So the block is the evidence, and across five years it moves. The same employee’s block reads Assistant to Vice Chairman, Joshua C. Ramo on documents dated from 15 July 2013 to 19 August 2015, and EA to Co-Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman, Joshua Cooper Ramo on documents dated from 13 October 2015 onward. The two forms do not overlap at any date, and the window between them is fifty-five days.12

No document read for this page records the promotion, announces it, or explains it. What the record holds is a title that changes in the footer of a scheduling message, and the fifty-five days in which it changed.1215

A dated company structure, assembled from other people’s papers

The firm is private and publishes nothing in this release. Its officers are nonetheless datable, because other organisations printed them.

On the World Economic Forum’s list of participants for Davos As of 19 January 2011, one row reads, across its four columns, Joshua Cooper Ramo | Managing Director | Kissinger Associates Inc. | USA. Read at the page image, where the four columns align cleanly and the surname is set on its own line.4 Two years later, on the Forum’s list As of 17 January 2013, the firm’s row is Henry A. Kissinger’s and the title is Chairman.10 A programme for the St Petersburg International Economic Forum of June 2015 gives the same pairing, Henry Kissinger, Chairman, Kissinger Associates, in its leadership series.11

Going back further, a biography forwarded to Epstein on 24 October 2012 names an officer nobody else in this release mentions. Boris Nikolic sent it with four lines of his own, Do you know anything about this guy and his fund? Meeting him in 35min and do not know anything., above a profile of Alan R. Batkin. The profile describes a post he had already left, and then describes the firm. The damaged characters are on the paper and are not mended:

he was Vice Chairman of Kissinger Associates, Inc.,a geop=litical consulting firm that advises multinational companies.9

That clause is the only description of the firm’s business anywhere in this population, and it is not the firm’s own. It is a paragraph of corporate-biography boilerplate about a former officer, forwarded by one third party to another. The sheet also gives the years he held the post, and this page does not reproduce them: both are damaged on the paper in ways that cannot be settled at the resolution the sheet is served at, and no year is asserted from it.9

Put in order, the titles make a company’s structure visible at five dated points between 2011 and 2015: a Managing Director in January 2011 who is Vice Chairman by July 2013 and Co-Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman by October 2015; a Chairman, named as such in January 2013 and again in June 2015, who is the man the company is named after; and, before all of them, a Vice Chairman the record names but does not date.94101112 Every one of those points comes from a document in Jeffrey Epstein’s files, and none of them was written by the firm.

The instrument: a proposal to divide the company

One sheet in the release is not correspondence. It is undated, unheaded, unsigned and unaddressed, and it sets out the structure of a company that does not yet exist. Read at the page image. It opens:

A new corporation, Kissinger China NewCo (KCN) will be formed that will contain the China-focused business operations of Kissinger Associates.3

Under Roles it assigns two, and under Structure it sets the terms: Kissinger taking profit distributions of 50% in year one, 40% in year two, 25% in year three and 10% in years four and five, and the new firm owned initially 100% by Ramo. Those passages are set out, with the two roles in full, at Henry Kissinger and at Joshua Cooper Ramo, and this page does not repeat them.3

What belongs here is what the sheet does to the existing company, and neither of those pages carries it. Under Questions the proposal answers itself:

How will existing clients be handled: Existing client arrangement with KAI will continue to be with KAI and will be serviced by KCN. Clients will be renewed into the KCN structure and new clients will also be signed as part of KCN.3

That is a sentence about two legal persons. The contracts stay with the old company; the work moves to the new one; and as each client comes up for renewal the contract itself moves. The proposal does not move the business in one act; on its own terms the old company’s client book empties as each contract comes up for renewal.3

And the abbreviation is itself evidence. The sheet introduces its new company by definition, Kissinger China NewCo (KCN), and then uses KAI for the existing one without ever defining it. A phrase search of the whole release finds KAI beside any form of the Kissinger name on only one other sheet, and that sheet is a published Hoover Institution report on Chinese influence in which the letters are an ordinary word. KAI is the firm’s internal shorthand, it is used for the firm on one sheet in this release, and the drafter expected the reader to know it already.13

No document read for this page says who wrote the sheet, when, for whom, or what became of it, and this page asserts none of those things. The correspondence that sits around it is set out at Joshua Cooper Ramo.315

Ten exchanges with Epstein’s office

The firm’s office enters these files on 15 July 2013 and leaves them on 16 November 2018. In between, its messages are almost all about a diary. Set out in order, with copies of one message counted once, they are ten.1

July 2013. Ybel Collado confirms a breakfast at Epstein’s house for Sunday 28 July at 9am, then moves it nine days later: 8:30 AM on Sunday works for Mr. Ramo. He will see Mr. Epstein then!16

September 2013. The firm’s office sets up a 6:30am breakfast and names a third man as joining it: I believe they confirmed a meeting for Thursday, September 24th at 6:30 AM. Ehud Barak plans to join this meeting with a hard stop at 8am. The weekday is the firm’s own error and the firm corrects it: 24 September 2013 was a Tuesday, Epstein’s office said so, and Collado replied My apologies for the typo. I had the October calendar open.17

November and December 2013. Four messages over two days settle a December visit, moving from Thursday, December 5th at 2:30 PM ET to How about December 4th at llam?, the double l being the sheet’s, and Epstein’s office closes it: That works perfect!!18

11 December 2013. Collado asks a question that opens a file the firm will still be working on five years later: When you have a moment, can you please forward me your office address? I would like to send something your way.19

August 2014. Collado queries an entry she does not recognise, I noticed on the calendar a lunch for this Sunday between Joshua and Mr. Epstein. Is this correct?, and the answer comes back through Epstein’s office as Done darling - Jeffrey RSVP for Sunday, 1 pm, Zorro :). The sheet prints Zorro and nothing more; several different things in this release carry that name, and this page does not say which is meant.20

13 October 2015: the firm books a meeting, has it confirmed, and cancels it, in one day. Collado asks whether Epstein is free tomorrow at 4:00 PM ET; Epstein’s office answers Jeffrey is in NY AND available to see Josh tomorrow at 4pm! We are confirmed!; Collado replies Thank you for your prompt response and confirmation. I will add this information to Joshua's calendar. Later the same day she writes again. Read at the page image:

There’s been an unforeseen change in Mr. Ramo’s calendar and unable to meet with Mr. Epstein tomorrow as scheduled. Mr. Ramo now has an internal meeting with Dr. Kissinger. My apologies for the last minute cancellation.

Please let Mr. Epstein know!521

Eight messages passed between the two offices that day. The sheets print their times in two different forms, an unzoned office preamble and an unzoned quoting preamble, and the same message appears on different copies with times four hours apart; no interval is derived anywhere on this page, and the order given here is the order the quoting chain itself establishes.215 Of everything read for this page, that is the only sentence in which anyone at the firm says what Henry Kissinger was doing on a given day, and what it says is that somebody else had to cancel.5

February 2016. The longest exchange in the population runs over four days and twenty documents. Collado opens on 2 February with Joshua would like to stop by and meet with Mr. Epstein tomorrow at 5pm, and Epstein’s office answers that he has an important meeting beginning at 4:30 that I cannot change...then a dinner at 6pm. The two offices trade repeatedly, through 1:30 PM today will not work, Possible...let me see if I can scoot something around... and Actually, best to do it earlier. Can a meeting at 4pm work?, before Collado closes it: We can go ahead and confirm the meeting for tomorrow at 6:15 PM ET.22

20 June 2016. Four messages inside Epstein’s own office record a delivery: You have reed 6 books from Kissinger Associates. They are on =y desk in a blue bag. The = is on the face of the sheet. No document read for this page says what the books were or who sent them.2315

December 2016 and November 2018 belong to the contact file, and are set out below.

No document read for this page records whether any meeting in any of these exchanges took place. The firm’s office arranges; the record stops at the arrangement.15

The contact file, and the wrong company

The firm kept Jeffrey Epstein in its address book, and for nearly two years the entry was wrong.

On 8 December 2016 Chelsea J. Airey wrote to a correspondent at Epstein’s office over a block giving only the firm, the floor and the street, not an officer, under the subject RE: Mailing Address & Contact Information, asking them to confirm the record. The answer came back that the address and the other details were right but the company name was not, and named the company it should have been.13

Nearly two years later she tried again, and the file had not been corrected. On 15 November 2018, under the subject Re: Hedgebrook | Updating Contact Information, she sent the entry the firm was holding. Read at the page image, it reads:

Hedgebrook 575 Lexington Avenue, 4th Fl New York, NY 100228

Epstein’s office replied the same afternoon:

Hi Chelsea. I’m glad you reached out as this is an old office address yet the name of the company is not ours?!

and gave Jeffrey Epstein / 9 East 71st Street / NY, NY 10021 as the correction. Airey answered the next day: Odd. I think we might have had the same issue last year. Thank you for clarifying!8

Two things in that exchange are findings rather than housekeeping.

The first is the date. 16 November 2018 is the last document in this population. Four years and eleven months after the firm’s office first asked Epstein for an address, the firm was still carrying him as a contact and still trying to get the entry right.81

The second is the address it was holding. 575 Lexington Avenue, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10022 is the address of HBRK Associates Inc., the New York firm through which Epstein’s accountants worked, and whose name the firm’s record had rendered as Hedgebrook. The two companies are not the same legal person and nothing here suggests the firm thought they were; what the record shows is a contact entry that had drifted onto a different company’s street and a different company’s name, and stayed there long enough to be queried twice.138

Two firms this page is not

A search that looks right can land on the wrong company, and twice here it does.

k associates returns 25 documents, and not one of them concerns this firm. All 25 were read. Twenty-four are HBRK Associates Inc., reached because the index discards punctuation and the mail encoding breaks the acronym: the sheets print HB=K Associates Inc. with a soft line break inside the four letters, or H BR K Associates Inc. with spaces, or h b r k associates letter by letter, or, on one insurance document, HEIR K ASSOCIATES, INC. The twenty-fifth is not a company at all: a student extension-request form on which a checkbox row for educational level reads K Associates LI Bachelor U Master U Doctorate, where Associates is a degree.24

A second search catches a New York law firm. Looking for damaged spellings of this firm’s name turns up a lawyer’s employment history reading Seward & Kissel Associate 09/1981 03/1984, a different firm and a job title, matched because the search allowed both words to be damaged.25

Neither is a form of this firm’s name, and nothing from either is counted anywhere on this page.2425

What this page does not establish

  • That Kissinger Associates had any business with Jeffrey Epstein. No invoice, engagement, payment or client relationship between them appears in any document read for this page.15
  • That anyone at the firm other than Joshua Cooper Ramo and the two employees named here knew of the correspondence. No document read for this page records Henry Kissinger being told of any of it.15
  • That the China proposal is the firm’s. The sheet carries no date, no author, no addressee and no signature, and no document read for this page ties it to anyone.315
  • That any arranged meeting happened. The record holds the arranging and not the outcome.15
  • That the firm’s contact entry was ever corrected. The last document in the population is the message supplying the correction.815
  • Anything about Henry Kissinger’s own conduct. He is the subject of his own page, which establishes that he wrote none of these documents and that none is addressed to him.1
  • It makes no allegation and records none.

How this page is scoped

Measured against the released files on 5 November 2026. The index’s size on disk was compared against its recorded value and printed before every run, every return code was read, and no empty result was turned into a zero. Controls printed and read in the same invocations as the counts: richard m berman returned 371 documents / 885 sheets, matching this project’s standing figure; a token generated for the test returned 0; and three further phrases known to be in the release returned 1,247, 186 and 62 documents.1

The phrase kissinger associates returns 86 documents / 104 sheets. Adding five damaged renderings takes the union to 91, and two further documents found by a different method take it to 93. The union is a floor and is reported as one.1

That the floor is real was demonstrated rather than argued. Two documents, both February 2016, both the firm’s own correspondence, carry an employee’s signature block naming an officer of the firm, and in both the block is cut off after the surname, so that the word Associates never appears at all. The surname itself survives on each. No phrase search for the company’s name can therefore reach either of them, and only a search on the job title does.1

Thirty-seven further forms were tested and returned nothing, among them the firm’s name with and without its suffix, damage patterns of Associates and of the surname, and names the firm has never used in this release. They are listed in full in the scope note.1

Where two forms returned the same number, set equality was proved rather than assumed. The index discards punctuation and collapses repeated spaces, so Kissinger Associates, Inc., Kissinger Associates Inc. and Kissinger Associates Inc are one set, not three, symmetric difference zero on every pair, while the same test comparing two genuinely different forms reported differences of 10 and 96 documents, which is how the test was shown able to report one at all.1

Every sheet of every document in the population was read, 654 sheets in all, and the classifications this project’s index assigns them were checked against what the sheets say. Two documents labelled travel itineraries are not travel records: one is a 33-sheet press digest from a diplomat’s office and one is a 77-sheet conference participant list.1710

Six sheets were read at the page image. Each was fetched read-only, one request at a time, from the site’s own per-document path; every batch carried a negative control, which returned HTTP 403 at 111 bytes, while every target returned HTTP 200 and a file beginning %PDF-. Every one of the six has a page count matching this project’s row count for it exactly, and all six are served at a native 96 pixels per inch; every reading is taken from the native raster and none from an upsampled render.1

The paper corrected the released text in three places that matter here, and this page follows the paper in all three. A contact record whose released text reads Met through )E prints Met through JE; a signature block the released text renders 350 Park Avenue, 26th FL sets the th as a superscript, which markdown will not show and which is recorded rather than displayed; and two sheets print typographic apostrophes where the released text gives straight ones, so the quotations here carry the paper’s form. Three is a floor, and no claim is made that the released text of these sheets is accurate anywhere else.65

One date on one sheet is wrong, and the sheet disproves itself. A message whose own header reads Wed 2/3/2018 sits on top of a quoted chain dated entirely to February 2016. 3 February 2018 was a Saturday; 3 February 2016 was a Wednesday, and the exchange beneath it is the February 2016 one set out above. The message is treated here as part of that exchange, and no document in this population is dated to 2018 except the two of November 2018.22

Every other weekday printed on a sheet quoted here was checked arithmetically and every one is correct, including the one the firm’s own office got wrong and corrected itself.17

  • Joshua Cooper Ramo, the officer almost all of this correspondence is arranged for, whose page carries the correspondence itself, the compensation exchanges and the fuller treatment of the China proposal
  • Henry Kissinger, named as the firm’s Chairman on one participant list, in a conference programme and in a magazine credit, who wrote none of the documents on this page
  • HBRK Associates Inc., a different New York firm at a different address, whose name this firm’s contact file carried in place of Epstein’s and whose acronym a search for this firm’s name picks up 24 times
  • Lesley Groff, who answered most of these messages from Epstein’s side
  • Boris Nikolic, who forwarded the 2012 biography of a former officer
  • Ehud Barak, named by the firm’s office as joining a 2013 breakfast
  • Jeffrey Epstein, whose office is the other party to every exchange here

Notes

Footnotes

  1. Measured against the released files on 5 November 2026. Document counts are distinct identifiers in this project’s full-text index and sheet counts are index rows; the two are one key on this corpus and are not reported as independent routes. The index’s size on disk was compared against its recorded value of 10,982,875,136 bytes and printed before every run; the comparison matched on every run. Controls printed and read in the same invocations: richard m berman 371 documents / 885 sheets, matching this project’s standing figure; zzqxnotatoken77, a token confirmed to return nothing before it was used, 0; and three aim controls chosen because they are known to be in this material, joshua cooper ramo 1,247, henry kissinger 186 and 350 park avenue 62. Corpus denominators, measured in one invocation: 1,425,556 distinct identifiers in the sheet table over 2,925,025 sheets. The separate document table holds 1,425,573 rows, seventeen more; the discrepancy is reported and not resolved here, and the figure used throughout is the sheet-table one. Forms tried and their returns, in documents: kissinger associates 86 · kissinger associates inc 76 · kissinger associates, inc. 76 · kissinger associates inc. 76 · kissinger associates with a doubled space 86 · kissinger-associates 86 · kissinger china 12 · kissinger china newco 1 · kai 582 · kcn 30 · k associates 25. Returning nothing: kissinger assoc, kissinger assocs, kissinger associates llc, kissinger associates incorporated, kissinger and associates, associates kissinger, kissinger mcclarty, kissinger mclarty, kissinger mc clarty, kissinger mccarty, kissinger mcclarty associates, kissingcr associates, kissinger assocaites, kissinger asociates, kissinger international, kissinger consulting, kissinger group, kissinger partners, kissinger llc, kissinger inc, henry kissinger associates, h kissinger associates, kissinger assoeiates, kissinger associatcs, kissinger as sociates, kissinger ass ociates, kissingor associates, kissingar associates, kisslnger associates, kissinqer associates, klssinger associates, kissinger assodates, kissinger assoclates, kissinger associatas, kissinger associatos, kissinger associatet, and a doubled-space kissinger inc. Set equality: the three punctuated suffix forms are one set, proved by symmetric difference 0 on each pair, against the same test reporting differences of 10 and 96 on two forms that genuinely differ; the 76-document set is a strict subset of the 86, with 0 members outside it. The union: 86 plus five damaged renderings, admitted after reading each, gives 91; two further documents reached only by the job-title phrase give 93. The sender census: this project’s index holds 0 documents whose sender field matches kissinger, against the same column returning 1,315 for ramo, 323,424 for epstein and 0 for the invented token; 23 documents in the whole release carry associates in that field and 0 of the 23 is in this population. Acts: 42 of the 93 documents name an employee of the firm in the sender field: 39 Ybel Collado in one spelling or another, 3 Chelsea Airey. Classification is this project’s own labelling and is quoted as such: over the 93, email.header 82, news_clipping 2, calendar 2, travel.itinerary 2, research.report 2, corporate.formation 1, contact_info 1, image.scan 1: a header fraction of 82 of 93, 88.2 per cent, at a mean of 2.11 sheets each. Every one of the 654 sheets was read. KAI: the bare token returns 582 documents, but beside any form of the Kissinger name it returns two sheets, one of them the proposal and the other a published Hoover Institution report of 2018 on Chinese influence, where the letters are an ordinary word; kcn returns 30 documents of which one names the firm. Neither adds a document to the union. Register check: every identifier cited on this page was run against this project’s registers in one invocation with a known-barred positive control, which returned its bar; none of the cited identifiers is in any register, which on this corpus is the ordinary answer and is not a clearance. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 ↩4 ↩5 ↩6 ↩7 ↩8 ↩9 ↩10 ↩11 ↩12 ↩13 ↩14 ↩15 ↩16 ↩17 ↩18 ↩19 ↩20

  2. What was refused, and why. A manifest-shape screen of seven arms (passenger, manifest, pax, souls-on-board, persons-on-board, seat number and tail number) was built for this page, proved on seven planted examples with two designed negatives silent, and run over all 654 sheets of all 93 documents. It returned 442 hits in 3 documents; the other 90 documents are silent. All three are refused and their identifiers are not listed. Two of the three are long compilations whose sheets carry passenger-identification material, and nothing from either appears here in any form, neither the material itself nor the unrelated pages bound with it, because naming the documents beside what they contain would build an index this page has no need to build. The third belongs to a dated group that is refused on a separate and stronger ground: a person who may be a survivor or a complainant is identifiable in that group, and no attribute of that person appears anywhere on this page: no name, no initial, no age, no relation, no nationality and no other particular. Nothing from that group is quoted, summarised, characterised or counted, its identifiers are not listed, and this page makes no statement about how any producing party has treated anything in it. The refusal was decided by measurement and not by impression: the screen was run over the whole population before anything was written, and the three firing documents were separated from the 90 silent ones before any of them was used. One further judgement is recorded rather than buried: the refused material would have supplied one corroborating instance of a title this page already establishes from three other documents, so refusing it costs the page nothing it needed. ↩ ↩2

  3. Single sheet, undated, unheaded, unsigned and unaddressed, titled Kissinger China NewCo Structure and Operation. EFTA00584255 p. 1 of 1. Read at the page image. Fetched read-only from the site’s own per-document path on 5 November 2026: HTTP 200, 62,549 bytes, a file beginning %PDF- of one page against this project’s one row for it, with a negative control fetched in the same call returning HTTP 403 at 111 bytes; pdfimages -list reports the native resolution as 96 pixels per inch and the readings here are taken from that raster. From this sheet this page takes the opening sentence, the clause about existing clients in full, the profit-split and ownership phrases quoted in the infobox, the use of KAI without a definition, and the fact that the sheet carries no date, author, addressee or signature. The two paragraphs under Roles are not reproduced here; they are set out at Henry Kissinger and Joshua Cooper Ramo. The sheet also carries a paragraph headed General Guidelines and Operational Principles and two further questions, about expenses and about the first twelve months; nothing is taken from them here. One quotation on this page crosses a line break on this sheet: the sheet wraps China- across two lines with a hyphen, and the break falls at the right margin, so it is an ordinary word wrap and the quotation crosses it. The foot band carries no printed stamp and none is named. No producer’s mark falls on this sheet. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 ↩4 ↩5 ↩6 ↩7 ↩8 ↩9

  4. World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, List of Participants, As of 19 January 2011, Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, 26-30 January 2011, sixty-three sheets. EFTA02686105 printed p. 46. Read at the page image at the served file’s native 96 pixels per inch, fetched read-only with a negative control returning HTTP 403 at 111 bytes in the same call; sixty-three pages against this project’s sixty-three rows. From this sheet this page takes one row across all four of its columns, and the running heading World Economic Forum Annual Meeting printed at the foot. The list’s date is printed on its own first sheet and is not inferred from the names it carries. The surname is set on its own line in the first column on the paper, and the four columns align cleanly there. No other participant on the sheet is named here. The foot of the sheet carries a printed stamp in a numbering series different from the identifier that addresses the document. This document is typed in this project’s index as an image scan. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 ↩4

  5. Ybel Collado, Sent: Tue 10/13/2015 9:18:29 PM, subject RE: Meeting Request, four sheets. EFTA02070531 p. 1. Read at the page image at the served file’s native 96 pixels per inch, fetched read-only with a negative control returning HTTP 403 at 111 bytes in the same call; four pages against this project’s four rows. From this sheet this page takes the message quoted in the body, whole, and the signature block, which reads Ybel Collado / EA to Co-Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman, Joshua Cooper Ramo / Kissinger Associates, Inc. / 350 Park Avenue, 26th FL / New York, NY, 10022, the first three lines set in bold and the th set as a superscript on the paper. The sheet prints typographic apostrophes in There’s and Ramo’s where the released text prints straight ones; the paper governs. The recipient’s name is withheld on this sheet and is not supplied, named or characterised here. No telephone, fax or electronic address from the signature block is reproduced, described or located. The foot of this sheet carries a printed stamp in a numbering series different from the identifier that addresses the document; the two are not converted into one another. Further printings of the same message are in the release; none was opened for this footnote and no comparison between printings was made or is reported. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 ↩4 ↩5 ↩6

  6. A single-sheet contact record in an Outlook-style field layout. EFTA01377511 p. 1 of 1. Read at the page image at the served file’s native 96 pixels per inch, fetched read-only with a negative control returning HTTP 403 at 111 bytes in the same call; one page against this project’s one row. From this sheet this page takes only the fact that the record gives Company: as Kissinger Associates without a suffix and a business address of 350 Park Avenue New York , NY 10022, the space before the comma being the sheet’s. The sheet’s released text reads Met through )E; the paper prints Met through JE, and the paper governs. No contact value of any kind is reproduced, described or located from this sheet. No document read for this page says whose address book this record belongs to, and none is supplied here. The foot of the sheet carries two printed stamps in two numbering series different from one another and from the identifier that addresses the document; the series are not converted into one another and none is used as an address. The sheet is marked confidential under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e). ↩ ↩2

  7. A press digest of thirty-three sheets sent from the office of a diplomat, index-dated 8 April 2012. EFTA00932995 printed p. 25. Released text only; this sheet was not read at the page image. From it this page takes only the fact that a magazine’s own author credit line on that sheet describes Henry Kissinger as Chair of Kissinger Associates. Not one word of the essay the credit belongs to is reproduced, summarised or characterised here, and no publication is named for it. This document is typed in this project’s index as a travel itinerary, which it is not. ↩ ↩2

  8. Chelsea Airey, Sent: Fri 11/16/2018 1:15:42 PM, subject RE: Hedgebrook | Updating Contact Information, two sheets. EFTA02265723 p. 1. Read at the page image at the served file’s native 96 pixels per inch, fetched read-only with a negative control returning HTTP 403 at 111 bytes in the same call; two pages against this project’s two rows. From this sheet this page takes the three-line address block the firm was holding, taken whole and set out as three lines because the sheet prints it as three; the one quoted clause of the reply; the correction Jeffrey Epstein / 9 East 71st Street / NY, NY 10021, whose three lines are separate on the sheet and whose slashes are this page’s line-join and not the sheet’s punctuation; and Airey’s answer of the following morning, whole. The sheet prints a typographic apostrophe in I’m and two spaces after Hi Chelsea.; the paper governs and the spacing is recorded rather than shown. The reply is from Jeffrey Epstein’s office on the sheet’s own words. The producing party withholds the sender’s name, and this page does not supply it, name them, give their gender or characterise them in any way. The signature block reads Chelsea J. Airey / Kissinger Associates, Inc. / 350 Park Avenue, 26th Floor, New York, NY 10022, the first two lines in bold. No telephone number, fax number or electronic address from this sheet is reproduced, described or located, and this page makes no statement about how any producing party has treated anything on it. 15 November 2018 was a Thursday and 16 November 2018 a Friday. A further printing is in the release; it was not read at the page image and no comparison between printings was made or is reported. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 ↩4 ↩5 ↩6 ↩7

  9. Boris Nikolic to Jeffrey Epstein, Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 4:18 PM, subject FW: Alan Batkin, one sheet. EFTA01805657 p. 1 of 1. Read at the page image at the served file’s native 96 pixels per inch, fetched read-only with a negative control returning HTTP 403 at 111 bytes in the same call; one page against this project’s one row. From this sheet this page takes Nikolic’s own two lines, whole, and the one clause of the forwarded biography quoted in the body. The = character and the missing letters in geop=litical are on the face of the paper, read at the image, and are not mended; the missing space in Inc.,a is also the sheet’s. The two years during which the biography says he held the post are NOT reproduced here. The sheet’s rendering of the first is damaged by the same encoding fault, and the second turns on whether a single character is a zero or a capital letter O, which cannot be settled at the 96 pixels per inch this sheet is served at; this page therefore asserts no year from this document and does not derive one from the other printing. The rest of the biography lists directorships and memberships and is not reproduced here. The forwarded message’s own sender is a third party whose name adds nothing to any conclusion here and is not reproduced. A further printing of the same message is at EFTA02562147; it was not read at the page image, nothing here rests on it, and no comparison between printings was made or is reported. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 ↩4 ↩5

  10. World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, List of Participants, As of 17 January 2013, Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, 23-27 January 2013, seventy-seven sheets. EFTA02707384 printed p. 37. This page takes from it only the firm’s name and the title Chairman standing in the same row. That row was read at the page image for Henry Kissinger, which sets it out in full; this page read it in the released text only, did not open it at the image, and asserts nothing further about it. The list’s date is printed on its own first sheet, which was read in the released text. This document is typed in this project’s index as a travel itinerary, which it is not. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 ↩4

  11. Programme Synopsis and Architecture, SPIEF 2015 (June, 18-20 2015), one sheet. EFTA01191263 p. 1 of 1. Released text only; this sheet was not read at the page image. From it this page takes one line of the leadership series, Henry Kissinger, Chairman, Kissinger Associates, and nothing else. It is a programme and not a record of attendance. A further printing is at EFTA02710590; it was not read at the page image, nothing here rests on it, and no comparison between printings was made or is reported. ↩ ↩2 ↩3

  12. The dated range of each signature-block form, measured over the whole release. assistant to vice chairman returns 40 documents, the earliest dated 15 July 2013 and the latest dated 19 August 2015. co-chief executive officer and vice chairman returns 31 documents, the earliest dated 13 October 2015. The two forms share no date. A control of the same shape on an invented token returned 0. The latest date the second form returns is excluded here, because that sheet’s own header is internally inconsistent and its chain is February 2016: see the scope section. Taking only dates the sheets support, the second form runs to 5 February 2016. The interval between the two forms is 55 days, counted from 19 August to 13 October 2015. These are statements about dated documents in this release, not about when the firm conferred any title. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 ↩4 ↩5

  13. Chelsea Airey, Sent Thur 12/8/2016 3:22:19 PM, subject RE: Mailing Address & Contact Information, two sheets. EFTA02195970 p. 1. Released text only; this sheet was not read at the page image. From it this page takes the fact of the request, the subject line, the signature block’s form (the firm, the floor and the street, with no officer named), and the substance of the reply, which is that the address and the other details were right and the company name was not. The name of the correspondent at Epstein’s office is withheld on this sheet and is not supplied, named or characterised here, and the words in which they answered are not reproduced beyond that substance. No electronic address from this sheet is reproduced, described or located. 7 December 2016 was a Wednesday and 8 December 2016 a Thursday. ↩ ↩2 ↩3

  14. No response from Kissinger Associates, Inc., or from anyone on its behalf, has been located. No statement, denial or comment by the firm about any document on this page has been found. A response is not recorded as absent because the firm declined to give one. No request was made from here; the finding is only that none has been located. ↩

  15. Statements of absence on this page are scoped to the documents read and returned for it, and to a search of the released files run on 5 November 2026 under the forms listed at 1. They are not claims about what the release holds and they are not claims about the world. In each case the control that shows the query could have found the thing is named at 1: the sender census returning 1,315 and 323,424 documents for two other people against 0 for this firm; the manifest screen proved on seven planted examples; the aim control reproducing the 86-document base exactly; and the register check’s known-barred positive control returning its bar. Specifically: no invoice, engagement, payment or client relationship between the firm and Jeffrey Epstein was located; no document recording that any arranged meeting took place was located; no document stating who wrote the China proposal, when, for whom, or what became of it was located; no document recording any officer of the firm other than Joshua Cooper Ramo being told of the correspondence was located; and no document recording that the firm’s contact entry was corrected was located. Unmeasured, and therefore not stated as a negative: whether the firm appears in these files under a client name, a project name or an institutional handle that never spells the company; whether damage to the first four letters of the surname hides further documents; and what the refused documents contain. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 ↩4 ↩5 ↩6 ↩7 ↩8 ↩9 ↩10

  16. Two exchanges of July 2013. EFTA00387681 p. 1, Ybel Collado, Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2013 19:55:23 +0000, and EFTA00365231 p. 1, carrying her message of 24 July quoted whole. Released text only; neither sheet was read at the page image. From them this page takes the two quoted spans and the signature block’s title, Assistant to Vice Chairman, Joshua C. Ramo. A mobile number stands in the first message and is not reproduced, described or located. 28 July 2013 was a Sunday, which the sheets themselves say. ↩

  17. Three messages of 19 and 20 September 2013. EFTA00383227 p. 1, Ybel Collado, Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2013 22:13:20 +0000; EFTA00383233 p. 1, the reply from Epstein’s office; EFTA00383252 p. 1, Collado’s correction, Date: Fri, 20 Sep 2013 15:25:38 +0000. Released text only; none was read at the page image. From them this page takes the two quoted spans and the fact of the correction. 24 September 2013 was a Tuesday, which is why the firm’s Thursday, September 24th is an error and why Epstein’s office said so; the weekday was checked arithmetically. A mobile number stands in the third message and is not reproduced, described or located. ↩ ↩2

  18. Four messages of 24 and 25 November 2013. EFTA02119499 p. 1 and EFTA02119835 p. 1. Released text only; neither was read at the page image. From them this page takes the three quoted spans. The doubled l in llam is the sheet’s and is not mended. 4 December 2013 was a Wednesday. The correspondent at Epstein’s office is withheld on these sheets and is not supplied or named here. ↩

  19. Ybel Collado, quoted at On Dec 11, 2013, at 1:59 PM, inside a two-sheet document. EFTA02118412 printed p. 2. Released text only; this sheet was not read at the page image. From it this page takes the one quoted sentence and the signature block’s title, and nothing else. The recipient is withheld on this sheet and is not supplied or named here. ↩

  20. Two messages of 6 August 2014. EFTA00365497 p. 1, Ybel Collado, Date: Wed, 06 Aug 2014 18:49:55 +0000; EFTA02101004 p. 1, Daphne Wallace, Sent Wed 8/6/2014 8:27:32 PM, carrying Collado’s message forwarded to her. Released text only; neither was read at the page image. From them this page takes the two quoted spans. The sheet prints Zorro and nothing further about what that name refers to, and nothing is supplied here. 10 August 2014 was a Sunday. ↩

  21. The 13 October 2015 exchange, eleven documents in this population. The request is EFTA00337997 p. 1, Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:43:27 +0000; the confirmation from Epstein’s office is EFTA02070421 p. 1; Collado’s acknowledgement is EFTA02070502 p. 1; the cancellation is at 5. Released text only except where 5 says otherwise. This page takes from them the four quoted spans and the fact that eight messages passed between the two offices that day, which is established by the quoting chain each sheet carries. The sheets print times in two different forms, and the same message appears on different copies with printed times four hours apart; no interval is derived anywhere on this page and no clock time is asserted as the time of any message. The names of the correspondents at Epstein’s office are withheld on these sheets and are not supplied, named or characterised here. ↩ ↩2

  22. The February 2016 exchange, twenty documents in this population. EFTA02061130 p. 1, Ybel Collado, Sent Tue 2/2/2016 10:46:44 PM; EFTA00329746 p. 1, the reply from Epstein’s office, Date: Tue, 02 Feb 2016 22:52:03 +0000; EFTA00329783 printed p. 2, carrying the 3 February messages; and EFTA02060377 p. 1, carrying Collado’s confirmation. Released text only; none was read at the page image. From them this page takes the six quoted spans. EFTA02060377’s own top preamble reads Wed 2/3/2018, and this project’s index dates it 4 February 2018. Both are treated here as wrong. 3 February 2018 was a Saturday and 3 February 2016 was a Wednesday; the quoted chain beneath the preamble is dated throughout to February 2016 and matches the other fifteen documents line for line. This page therefore places the message in the February 2016 exchange and asserts no 2018 date for it. No reading of the paper was made for this sheet and the inconsistency is reported from the released text alone. The correspondents at Epstein’s office are withheld on these sheets and are not supplied or named here. ↩ ↩2

  23. Lesley Groff to Jeffrey Epstein, Sent: Monday, June 20, 2016 8:10 PM, subject 6 Books from Kissinger Associates, one sheet. EFTA02460834 p. 1. Released text only; this sheet was not read at the page image. From it this page takes the one quoted sentence, the subject line and the date. The = in =y desk is an export artefact on the face of the sheet and nothing is quoted across it; the sheet’s reed is not mended. A machine-generated block below the message is not reproduced. 20 June 2016 was a Monday. Three further documents in this population record the same delivery; none was read at the page image, and no comparison between printings was made or is reported. ↩

  24. The k associates population, read in full. The phrase returns 25 documents / 26 sheets, and 0 of the 25 is in this firm’s population. All 25 were read. Twenty-four are HBRK Associates Inc., at 575 Lexington Avenue, 4th Floor, and the match is mechanical: this project’s index discards punctuation, so a quoted-printable soft break inside the acronym, since the sheets print HB=K Associates Inc., leaves the token run HB K Associates, which the phrase matches. Four of the twenty-four reach it by other damage to the same four letters: one prints the acronym with spaces between the letters, one prints it letter by letter in a due-diligence report, one, an insurance document, renders it HEIR K ASSOCIATES, INC., and one drops the first three letters altogether The twenty-fifth is not a company: a student extension-request form whose educational-level row reads K Associates LI Bachelor U Master U Doctorate, in which Associates is a degree and K the preceding field’s value. Nothing from any of the 25 is counted anywhere on this page. ↩ ↩2

  25. The five damaged renderings admitted, and the two rejected. A search for the surname and the word associates allowing damage to both, run with an aim control that reproduced the 86-document base exactly and a negative control that returned nothing, found seven documents outside the base. Five were admitted after reading each: two are printings of the June 2016 books message in which a quoted-printable soft break splits Associates across a line, leaving Associate and s as separate tokens so that no phrase search for the firm’s name can reach them; three are signature blocks in which the released text has dropped the g from the surname, printing Kissin er Associates. Two were rejected. One is a research article in which the letters kiss and ASSOCIATIVE are unrelated fragments on a diagram. The other is a different New York law firm: a lawyer’s employment history printing Seward & Kissel Associate 09/1981 03/1984, matched because the search allowed damage to both words and Kissel and Associate satisfy it. Nothing from either rejected document is counted anywhere on this page. The union of 93 remains a floor: damage to the first four letters of the surname would escape this search, and that shape was not tested. ↩ ↩2
