                              S. Res. 873

       Whereas, the Secretary of the Senate and the Senate 
     Sergeant at Arms have received subpoenas for Senate personnel 
     records from the Department of Homeland Security for use as 
     evidence in a pending administrative investigation and 
     adjudication;
       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 evidence under the control or 
     in the possession of the Senate is needed for the promotion 
     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 Secretary of the Senate and the Senate 
     Sergeant at Arms are authorized to provide to the Department 
     of Homeland Security records sought, respectively, by the 
     subpoenas issued to them.
