Honorable William J. Casey
Director of Central Intelligence
Washington, D. C. 20505
Dear Mr. Casey:
The Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has been asked to look into
allegations that Kurt Waldheim, the former Secretary General of the United
Nations, was associated with war crimes against Jews, Serbs and gypsies in
Croatia during the second World War.
The Committee has seen allegations to this effect in news reports but has
no knowledge of whether these accusations are accurate. Accordingly, I ask
that you provide the Committee with a response to the following three
questions:
1. Does the intelligence community have any i.nformati.on which bears on
the accusations against Mr. Waldheim?
2. Di.d the intelligence community ever receive a request from any other
department or agency of the United States Government requesting
information about Mr. Waldheim prior to his selection as Secretary
General of the United Nations?
3. Did the intelligence community ever provide any information
concerning Mr. Waldhei.m to any department or agency of the United
States concerning Mr. Waldheim?
I believe your staff has made a preliminary inquiry along these lines at
the request of the Committee staff, for which the Committee is appreciative.
The allegations at issue are serious enough, however, that they warrant
careful review and a written response.
With best wishes, I am
Lee H. Hamilton
Chairman
