   SENATE RESOLUTION 136--TO AUTHORIZE DOCUMENT PRODUCTION IN UNITED 
                 STATES V. DOUGLAS D. HAMPTON (D.D.C.)

  Mr. REID of Nevada (for himself and Mr. McConnell) submitted the 
following resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                              S. Res. 136

       Whereas, in the case of United States v. Douglas D. 
     Hampton, Crim. No. 11-085 (D.D.C.), pending in the United 
     States District Court for the District of Columbia, documents 
     that have been produced to the United States Department of 
     Justice by offices of the Senate in earlier related 
     proceedings may be needed for use in this proceeding;
       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 
     may, by the judicial or administrative process, be taken from 
     such control or possession but by permission of the Senate;
       Whereas, when it appears that evidence 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 consistent with the 
     privileges of the Senate: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved that records that have been produced by offices of 
     the Senate in connection with investigation by the Department 
     of Justice are authorized to be used in the case of United 
     States v. Douglas D. Hampton and any related proceedings.
