  SENATE RESOLUTION 256--RELATIVE TO THE PRODUCTION OF RECORDS BY THE 
                    SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE

  Mr. DOLE (for himself and Mr. Daschle) submitted the following 
resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                              S. Res. 256

       Whereas, the Office of the Inspector General of the Central 
     Intelligence Agency 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 
     the Zona Rosa massacre of six American citizens in El 
     Salvador in 1985;
       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 Select 
     Committee on Intelligence, acting jointly, are authorized to 
     provide to the Office of Inspector General of the Central 
     Intelligence Agency, under appropriate security procedures, 
     copies of records that the Office has requested for use in 
     connection with its pending review into matters related to 
     the Zona Rosa massacre.
