With a few notable exceptions, invostigations by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) of alleged Nazi war criminals prior to 1973 generally were perfunctory. Since 1973 IWS has given greater emphasis and priority to these cases, due in great part to the work of the House Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and International Law. Findings/Conclusions: Investigation of INS progress in investigating alleged Nazi war criminals in the United States has been severely hampered by problems and 0ftlays in getting access to needed records in the possession oi the Department of Justice. Only very recently has GAO been granted access to thirl agency documents in the alleged Nazi war criminal files, and Justice has still not ruled oh GAO access to cases recommended for or under legal proceedings. GAO's review of 62 case files included 12 cases that had allegations prior to 1973, nine of which had been analyzed. All nine cases were closed. The volume of cases of alleged Nazi war criminals has never been more than minimal and the INS has had very little succear in excluding or deporting alleged Nazi war criminals. INS is presently more actively investigating these alleged criminals both domesti,-ally and overseas than it was prior to 1973. The results of such incrensed activity is attested to by the fact that as of July 22, 1977, domestic investio'ations were underway ia 13 cases; 69 cases had beGn referred to the Department of State for inquiry in Furope; and 21 cases we 'e reco~senled for or under legal
