                               RESOLUTION


 
 To authorize the production of records by Senator Robert C. Byrd and 
                    Senator John D. Rockefeller IV.

Whereas, a prosecutor for the State of West Virginia has requested that Senator 
        Robert C. Byrd and Senator John D. Rockefeller IV provide him with 
        copies of constituent correspondence relevant to a criminal case, State 
        of West Virginia v. Brenda S. Cook, No. 97-F-20 (Circ. Ct. of Hardy 
        Cnty., W. Va.);
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;
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 Senator Robert C. Byrd and Senator John D. 
Rockefeller IV are authorized to provide to the State of West Virginia 
copies of correspondence relevant to the criminal case, State of West 
Virginia v. Brenda S. Cook.
