S. RES. 445
Mr. REID. Mr. President, the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations
of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs has
received a request from a federal law enforcement agency seeking access
to records that the Subcommittee obtained during its recent
investigation into how politically powerful foreign officials, their
relatives and close associates have used the services of United States
professionals and financial institutions to bring large amounts of
suspect funds into the United States to advance their interests and to
circumvent United States anti-money laundering and anti-corruption
safeguards.
This resolution would authorize the Chairman and Ranking Minority
Member of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, acting jointly,
to provide records, obtained by the Subcommittee in the course of its
investigation, in response to this request and to other government
entities and officials with a legitimate need for the records.
