  SENATE RESOLUTION 230--AUTHORIZING THE PRODUCTION OF RECORDS BY THE 
                    SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE

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

                              S. Res. 230

       Whereas, the Office of the Inspector General of the United 
     States Department of Justice has requested that the Senate 
     Select Committee on Intelligence provide it with copies of 
     committee records relevant to the Office's pending inquiry 
     into the handling and dissemination by the Department of 
     Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation of certain 
     foreign intelligence and counterintelligence information;
       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, under appropriate 
     security procedures, copies of committee records relevant to 
     the Office's pending inquiry into the handling and 
     dissemination by the Department of Justice and the Federal 
     Bureau of Investigation of certain foreign intelligence and 
     counterintelligence information.
