(From March 1979 May 1979 Martin Mendelsohn was director.) Asked what motivated him to accept this awesome responsibility, Ryan said that his involvement in the Feodor Dedorenko case piqued his interest in Nazi war criminals. As an assistant to the U.S. Solicitor General in 1978, he wrote the brief and argued the appeal in the government's case against Fedorenko, an admitted SS guard at Treblinka concentration camp.

This decision was re- versed by the U.S. Court of Appeals on June 28, 1979 and the trial judge was or- dered to strip Fedorenko of citizenship. The defendant filed a mo- tion for a re-hearing to the Appellate Court, which was denied on Aug. 13, 1979. On Feb. 19, 1980, the defen- dant's petition for certiorari (judicial review) was granted by the U.S. Sup- reme Court. Ryan, a 34-year-old magna cum laude graduate of the University of Min- nesota Law School, where he was president of the Law Review, is serious and con- fident about the OSI's fu- ture accomplishments. In addition to his 1977- 1980 position in the Sol- icitor General's office, his legal experience includes a clerkship for Supreme Court Justice Byron White and service as an attorney in the U.S. Marine Corps. "After having been through Yad Vashem (the Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem) I have no doubt that what I'm doing must be done. There are people still alive who took part in the Nazi process of inhumanity and some of them are in this country." He said he feels "obligated to do everything humanly possible under the law to bring them into ac- count." "Ideally the goal of the OSI should be to locate every Nazi war criminal and collaborator in the United States, denaturalize them if they are citizens, and deport them all," he. continued. The OSI now has some 400 files and is "opening cases literally every day," Ryan said. This total includes the 250 cases that the unit "inher- ited" from the Justice Department's Special Litigation Unit (SLU). Judging from the U.S. 'goverment's past accom- plishments regarding Nazi war criminals, will Ryan ever achieve even one de- portation? Since the SLU was created by the Justice Department in 1977, what has actually been accom- plished? According to records, only four new cases have been announced since then, in November and December 1979, bringing the total of cases under litigation to 16 at this writing. (The other 12 cases were started before the initiation of the SLU, by a Task Force set up in 1974 and based in New York City. The SLU since its initiation, did not begin any new cases.) The bottom line is: The United States, after more than 30 years, has not de- ported a Nazi war crimi- nal for his crimes back to the country where the crimes were committed. Several years ago, how- Hermine ever, Braunsteiner Ryan, a Queens housewife and former concentration camp supervisor, was extradited to West Germany to stand trial. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE INCLUDED!
