          Since iorld War II there have been many allegations
that individuals who entered the Oni'ed States and are now
residents committed atrocities shile 'erving the Nazi
Governseut. Pindings/Conclusions: From a review of Immigration
and Naturalization Service (INS) fily8 on 94 individuals, 40 of
vhoa had allegations made against them before 1973, it was found
that: two mere expelled from th. United States; investigations
on some others appeared to be thorough; for various reasons,
some individuals were allowed to stay in the country in spite of
propscutions; in most cases, there were only routine inquiries
wit, other agencies; and in some cases, no inquiries mere made.
Some obravrtions included: an investigation of complaints by an
INS espl fa that his Investigation of alleged war criminals was
hampered did not show irregularities; INS investigations of
cases before 1973 were deficient; the quality of investigations
has iiFroved since 1973 when a control office was established,
but fairther impzrovements are needed; and there have been no
successful prosecutions since 1973. Other agencies h~d
information on, and contacts v:.th, som* individuals listed in
INS files. Although it was difficult to obtaiL facts because of
the passage of time anud limited access to records, it as
concluded that there was no widespread conspiracy to obstruct
investigations of alleged Nazi war criminals. (H)
