                               RESOLUTION


 
To authorize the production of records by the Permanent Subcommittee on 
                            Investigations.

Whereas the court-appointed monitor of the Hotel Employees and Restaurant 
        Employees International Union (HEREIU) has requested that the Permanent 
        Subcommittee on Investigations provide him with copies of subcommittee 
        records relevant to the monitor's oversight of a consent decree 
        enjoining members of the HEREIU from violating the Racketeer Influenced 
        and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) or knowingly associating with 
        organized crime figures;
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 documents, papers, and records under the control 
        or in the possession of the Senate may promote the administration of 
        justice, the Senate will take such action as will promote the ends of 
        justice consistently with the privileges of the Senate: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That the chairman and vice chairman of the Permanent 
Subcommittee on Investigations, acting jointly, are authorized to 
provide to the court-appointed monitor of HEREIU copies of memoranda 
and transcripts of interviews conducted by subcommittee staff that the 
monitor has requested for use in connection with the monitor's 
oversight of the consent decree.
