The United States Secret Service (USSS) has reported within an August 5, 2011 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that a search of USSS files produced no records of the reported Bilderberg meeting in Chantilly, VA on June 5-8, 2008 at the Westfields Marriott[1] and no records of the attendance of then U.S. Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Obama and Clinton were both assigned USSS protection in 2007.[2][3]

Reported USSS keyword search results:

• Bilderberg - no hits
• Westfield - 1 hit but not relevant
• Chantilly, VA - 3 hits but not relevant
• June 5-8, 2008 - several hits, some of which the message and attachments would not open; others were not relevant
• Hillary Clinton - 205 hits but none were relevant
• Barack Obama June 2008 - several hits, some of which the message or attachments would not open; others were not relevant
• Marriott June 5-8, 2008 - 7465 hits based on the dates rather than "Marriott" and none were relevant

NOTE: some of the hits for Senator Barack Obama showed he was scheduled to be in Virginia during the identified timeframe, but specific locations did not match the request.
