WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. senator has demanded that the CIA director release thousands of
pages of documents detailing the agency's ties with former Nazis who aided in Cold War espionage against
the Soviet Union, officials say.

Senator Mike DeWine of Ohio, Republican co-author of a 1998 bill ordering the disclosure of government
records on Nazi war criminals, wants CIA Director Porter Goss to say publicly why his agency has not agreed
to divulge the records.

DeWine has asked Goss to appear this month at an open hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee, on
which the Ohio lawmaker sits, a Senate aide said. The CIA had no immediate comment on the invitation.

"Senator DeWine wants an explanation from the CIA. Our hope would be to have (Goss) there and that's
what we're working toward," said DeWine spokeswoman Amanda Flaig.
