 SENATE RESOLUTION 536--TO AUTHORIZE DOCUMENT PRODUCTION BY THE SELECT 
                       COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE

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

                              S. Res. 536

       Whereas, the United States Department of Justice has 
     requested that the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence 
     provide it with records in connection with a pending 
     investigation arising out of allegations of the unauthorized 
     disclosure of 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 
     may, by the judicial or administrative process, be taken from 
     such control or possession but by permission of the Senate;

[[Page S3039]]

       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 the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Senate 
     Select Committee on Intelligence, acting jointly, are 
     authorized to provide to the United States Department of 
     Justice copies of Committee records sought in connection with 
     a pending investigation arising out of allegations of the 
     unauthorized disclosure of information, except concerning 
     matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
