regulations;" keeping the Director of the CIA informed of
possible violations of law and regulations, fraud and other
serious problems, and abuses and deficiencies that may occur in
CIA's programs and operations; and reporting the process made in
implementing corrective action. To fulfill these
responsibilities, OIG conducts independent investigations,
inspections, and audits of CIA programs and operations. At the
conclusion of an investigation, OIG may choose to prepare a
Disposition Memorandum, or prepare a Report of Investigation
outlining the conclusions of the investigation, as well as any
proposed remedial action or recommendations.
4. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. � 535(b) and 50 U.S.C. �
403q(b)(5), OIG must report to the Attorney General any
information that it receives relating to violations of federal
criminal law that involve a CIA program, operation, or employee.
OIG is also authorized to assist the Department of Justice in
investigating alleged violations of criminal law involving CIA
programs, operations, and employees.
5. OIG began an investigation into the death of Abdul Wali
at Asadabad base in late June 2003. As required by statue, OIG
referred information relating to a possible violation of criminal
law to the Attorney General on July 18, 2003.
6. After that initial referral, OIG continued its
investigation in conjunction with the Department of Justice's
criminal investigation. As part of its investigation, OIG
