                               RESOLUTION


 
 To authorize the production of records by the Committee on Rules and 
                            Administration.

Whereas federal, state, and local law enforcement officials have requested that 
        the Committee on Rules and Administration provide them with copies of 
        records held by the committee related to the 1996 United States Senate 
        election in Louisiana;
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 Committee on Rules and Administration, either 
through formal action or by joint action of the Chairman and Ranking 
Member, is authorized to provide to federal, state, and local law 
enforcement officials copies of records held by the committee related 
to the 1996 United States Senate election in Louisiana.
