How about the Air Traffic Control Handbook instead of the AIM:

3-9-1. DEPARTURE INFORMATION
Provide current departure information, as appropriate, to departing
aircraft.
a. Departure information contained in the ATIS broadcast may be omitted if
the pilot states the appropriate ATIS code.
b. Issue departure information by including the following:
1. Runway in use. (May be omitted if pilot states "have the numbers.")
2. Surface wind from direct readout dial, wind shear detection system, or
automated weather observing system information display. (May be omitted if
pilot states "have the numbers.")
3. Altimeter setting. (May be omitted if pilot states "have the numbers.")

I was wondering what you were referring to, since there's no 3-9-1 in the
AIM, nor anything relevant anywhere close...

It's interesting to see this quote, though; it expands upon what's in AIM
4-1-13, especially paragraph h.
