                               RESOLUTION


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

Whereas the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the Committee on 
        Governmental Affairs has been conducting an investigation into the 
        credit counseling industry;
Whereas the Subcommittee has received a number of requests from law enforcement 
        and regulatory officials and agencies for access to records of the 
        Subcommittee's investigation;
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 evidence under the control or in the possession of 
        the Senate is needed for the promotion of justice, the Senate will take 
        such action as will promote the ends of justice consistent with the 
        privileges of the Senate: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the 
Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the Committee on 
Governmental Affairs, acting jointly, are authorized to provide to law 
enforcement and regulatory entities and officials records of the 
Subcommittee's investigation into the credit counseling industry.
