Description

In this letter, dated August 2, 1949, from United States (US) Senator Joseph R. McCarthy to US Senator William Langer, McCarthy thanks Langer for materials he has sent regarding the case of convicted Nazi war criminal Dr. Martin Sandberger.

McCarthy writes that a unanimous vote was taken by a Senate investigation committee to request that the Inspector General's office provide a detailed overview of each of the death [sentence] cases, including an examination of conditions at Landsberg (misspelled in this letter as "Lansberg") Prison, and that "the Secretary has agreed to hold up all executions until the investigation has been completed and the report rendered."
