                               RESOLUTION


 
To authorize the production of records by the Committee on Governmental 
                                Affairs

Whereas, the Committee on Governmental Affairs has conducted an investigation of 
        serious management problems at the National Archives and Record 
        Administration;
Whereas, as a result of its investigation, the Committee referred matters that 
        it had investigated to executive branch agencies for investigation and 
        appropriate action;
Whereas, the Department of Justice has requested access to records of the 
        Committee's investigation as part of the inquiry resulting from the 
        Committee's referral;
Whereas, by the privileges of the Senate of the United States and rule XI of the 
        Standing Rules of the Senate, no evidence under the control or in the 
        possession of the Senate can, by administrative or judicial process, be 
        taken from such control or possession but by permission of the Senate; 
        and
Whereas, when it appears that evidence under the control or in the possession of 
        the Senate is needed for the promotion of justice, the Senate will take 
        such action as will promote the ends of justice consistent with the 
        privileges of the Senate: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the 
Committee on Governmental Affairs, acting jointly, are authorized to 
provide to the Department of Justice records of testimony and exhibits 
received by the Committee in its investigation of management problems 
at the National Archives and Records Administration, except for 
materials for which a privilege should be asserted.
