This classified document has been mentioned in several news articles starting in October 2003 and is the probable source, according the Newsweek's Isikoff, "for the information that Rove and others were then dishing out to reporters" The information being that Plame was CIA and that she authorized his trip.

This is it, this is how the White House knew Plame was CIA. This classified document was leaked by the administration in the following news reports. This document was made public in part in the Senate Report in 2004, but it was leaked before that.

Reference to this classified document first turns up on October 17, 2003 in the Wall Street Journal. The WSJ credits "two people familiar with the memo", I find that fact that they mention people not some official interesting in it's own right since this is a classified document.
