Almost three times as many cases have been filed with the Office than were before it in 1981. In addition. there are some 267 investigatory cases pending in the Office with over 100 of them just referred in the past year. The Office has been successful in expediting proceedings on these cases through prosecutions and in some cases deportations. This is not the time to reduce funding for the only office vested with the specific responsibility of tracking down Nazi war criminals who have taken refuge in this Nation. We have a tragic 35 year record of inaction on the Nazi war criminal problem which should not be exacerbated by cutting funds for that Office which is beginning to do this important work.
