I would suggest that that is not correct. There certainly are people involved with the program who feel as I do. that we need to abandon this particular visawaiver idea. And the IG isnt alone. Last September. the Government Accountability Office found that stolen passports from visawaiver countries are prized travel documents among terrorists. criminals and immigration law violators. Based on a State Department report from January 2002 until June 2004. 28 foreign governments reported 56.943 stolen blank foreign passports. The Director of the U.S. National Central Bureau of Interpol has said that for 55 of the 181 Interpol countries. there were probably over 10 million lost and stolen passports that might be in circulation.
