Senate Passes Bill on Nazi War Crimes
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate voted on Wednesday to allow more time
for the declassification of government documents about Nazi war
criminals. The legislation's approval followed a recent agreement by
the CIA to turn over papers about agents hired despite their Nazi
ties.

``We have come a long way and told a large part of the story, and it
is time to finish the job,'' said Sen. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, sponsor of
the bill. The measure, approved unanimously by voice vote, extends by
two years the mandate of the group working to declassify the
documents.

A 1998 public disclosure law that requires the release all papers
related to the Holocaust and Nazi war crimes has brought more than 8
million pages of documents to light. That includes 1.25 million from
the Central Intelligence Agency.

Those documents showed that the agency or its predecessor, the Office
of Strategic Services, had sought former Nazi officials to provide
expertise on the former Soviet Union during the Cold War.
