CIA opens records on Nazi war criminals

WASHINGTON - The CIA has agreed to release more information about Nazi war criminals it hired during the Cold War, ending a standoff between the intelligence agency and the group seeking the documents, Sen. Mike DeWine said Sunday.

DeWine, R-Ohio, was the lead Senate author of a 1998 law that required all U.S. government documents related to Nazi war crimes to be declassified, but the CIA had resisted giving up details about the work performed by agents with Nazi ties.

The law has led to the release of more than 8 million pages of documents, including 1.25 million from the CIA, which showed that the agency or its predecessor, the Office of Strategic Services, had a relationship with some individuals later found to be war criminals.

Some documents obtained by the working group, for example, show that the CIA hired five assistants to Adolph Eichmann, the man known as the architect of the plan for exterminating the Jews during World War II.

The CIA provided a general description of the operational tasks performed by war criminals that it hired, but a governmental working group created to declassify the documents wanted to know more about what these people did.

In a letter Friday, Stanley Moskowitz, the agency's director of congressional affairs, said the CIA would make available today previously unreleased documents.

'We agree that documents concerning acts performed by Nazi war criminals ... on behalf of CIA are relevant and are subject to declassification review," the letter said.
