   SENATE RESOLUTION 356--TO AUTHORIZE DOCUMENTARY PRODUCTION 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. 356

       Whereas, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has requested 
     that the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence provide it 
     with a certified copy of the testimony of former Director of 
     Central Intelligence John M. Deutch during its closed 
     February 22, 2000 hearing, in connection with a pending 
     inquiry into the alleged improper handling of classified 
     information by Mr. Deutch;
       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 the 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 Federal Bureau of Investigation, 
     under appropriate security procedures, a certified copy of 
     the transcript of its closed February 22, 2000 hearing.
