NATIONAL SECURITY AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS DIVISION UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON. D.C. 20548 0 C T ? 1 1985 The Honorable William J. Casey Director, Central Intelligence Agency Washington, D.C. 20505 85 3930/1 Attention: Director, Office of Legislative Liaison Dear Mr. Casey: The Chairman, House Judiciary Committee, by enclosed letter dated September 12, 1985, has requested that we supply him with additional information relative to our June 28, 1985, report Nazis and Axis Collaborators Were Used To Further U.S. Anti- Communist Objectives In Europe--Some Immigrated To The United States, GAO/GGD-85-66. Specifically, he would like to obtain all notes, documents, reports of interviews, memoranda, and an inventory of all documents of agencies examined or consulted so that the committee could be more informed. We are informing the committee that CIA maintains a com- plete inventory of all documents furnished GAO and that such documents, including excerpts, are classified. A memorandum of understanding between CIA and GAO precludes GAO from making these documents available to anyone outside of GAO. Therefore, we are suggesting that the committee deal directly with CIA on the matter. This project is being managed by Mr. John Tipton of our General Government Division. Should you have any questions concerning the matters herein, Mr. Tipton can be reached on 633-1559. We appreciate your cooperation. Sincerely yours, J Frank C. Conahan Director Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/03/11: CIA-RDP87MO1152R000400540007-7 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/03/11: CIA-RDP87MO1152R000400540007-7 ..11x: 1ud C D.-I V . r :.i.. . ~...?: NJ L.?113 Yiw JFBfr, Y tt [??..?.
