               To comply with the issuance of a subpoena.

Whereas the Select Committee on Ethics is currently conducting a preliminary 
        inquiry pursuant to Senate Resolution 338;
Whereas on October 20, 1993, the Select Committee on Ethics authorized the 
        issuance of a subpoena duces tecum to Senator Bob Packwood directing him 
        to produce forthwith certain documents to the Committee;
Whereas on October 21, 1993, Senator Bob Packwood was duly served by the Select 
        Committee on Ethics with a subpoena duces tecum directing him to produce 
        forthwith certain documents to the Committee;
Whereas Senator Bob Packwood has refused to comply as directed by the subpoena;
Whereas under sections 703(b) and 705 of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, 
        title 2, United States Code, sections 288b(b) and 288d (1988), the 
        Senate Legal Counsel shall bring a civil action under title 28, United 
        States Code, section 1365 (1988) to enforce a subpoena of a Senate 
        committee when directed to do so by the adoption of a resolution by the 
        Senate; and
Whereas the Senate will have a continuing interest in the documents required to 
        be produced by the subpoena until its final disposition of allegations 
        of misconduct by Senator Bob Packwood before the Select Committee on 
        Ethics: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate Legal Counsel shall bring a civil action 
in the name of the Select Committee on Ethics to enforce the 
Committee's subpoena to Senator Bob Packwood, and the Senate Legal 
Counsel shall conduct all related civil contempt proceedings.
    Sec. 2. Until the final disposition by the Senate of the 
allegations of and information respecting misconduct by Senator Bob 
Packwood before the Select Committee on Ethics, the Committee is 
authorized to continue this action to enforce the Committee's subpoena 
to Senator Bob Packwood, and to report to the Senate any further 
resolution for the civil or criminal enforcement of the Committee's 
subpoena to him.
