                               RESOLUTION


 
   To authorize the production of records by the Committee on Indian 
                                Affairs.

Whereas the United States Department of Justice and counsel for the plaintiff-
        relators and defendant in the case of United States of America ex rel. 
        William I. Koch, et al. v. Koch Industries, Inc., et al., Case No. 91-
        CV-763-B, pending in the United States District Court for the Northern 
        District of Oklahoma, have requested that the Committee on Indian 
        Affairs provide them with copies of records of the former Special 
        Committee on Investigations of the Committee on Indian Affairs for use 
        in connection with the pending civil action;
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 ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Indian Affairs, acting jointly, are authorized to provide 
to the United States Department of Justice, counsel for the plaintiff-
relators and defendant in United States of America ex rel. William I. 
Koch, et al. v. Koch Industries, Inc., et al., and other requesting 
individuals and entities, copies of records of the Special Committee on 
Investigations for use in connection with pending legal proceedings, 
except concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
