Comptroller General

Dear Mr. Bowsher:
I refer to my most recent letter of February 17, 1983, on
the G.A.O. on-going investigation which I initiated regarding
alleged Executive Branch involvement with Nazi war criminals
in the United States.
Recent news accounts indicate that Dr. Josef Mengel-e, a
notorious wanted Nazi war criminal presently at large, may have
been in the custody of United States intelligence personnel in
Austria following World War II. Also, there are some reports
that there may have been some U.S.-Canadian contact with regard
to the issuance of a Canadian visa.
'I, therefore, request that your staff presently engaged in
this investigation enlarge its scope in order to include within
it any possible United States government involvement in the case
of Dr. Josef Mengele
In making this request, I do not wish to delay the present
investigation and report, which I understand is nearing comple-
tion. Instead, I would hope that you could make a preliminary
general assessment to determine whether there is'sufficient
cause to proceed with a more detailed inquiry.
I thank you.
Sincerely,
j f
PETER W. RODINO
Member of Congress
