                               RESOLUTION


 
   To authorize the production of records by the Select Committee on 
                              Intelligence

Whereas the Office of the Inspector General of the United States Department of 
        Justice has requested that the Select Committee on Intelligence provide 
        it with copies of committee records relevant to the Office's pending 
        review of matters related to allegations of Central Intelligence Agency 
        involvement in crack cocaine trafficking with supporters of the 
        Nicaraguan Contras;
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 the chairman and vice chairman of the Senate Select 
Committee on Intelligence, acting jointly, are authorized to provide to 
the Office of Inspector General of the United States Department of 
Justice or to other government investigators, under appropriate 
security procedures, copies of committee records related to allegations 
of Central Intelligence Agency involvement in crack cocaine trafficking 
with supporters of the Nicaraguan Contras.
    Sec. 2. That the Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of any other 
committee of the Senate, acting jointly, are authorized to provide to 
the Office of Inspector General of the United States Department of 
Justice or to other government investigators, under appropriate 
security procedures, copies of records held by their committee related 
to allegations of Central Intelligence Agency involvement in crack 
cocaine trafficking with supporters of the Nicaraguan Contras.
