   SENATE RESOLUTION 11--TO AUTHORIZE PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS TO THE 
                DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE INSPECTOR GENERAL

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

                               S. Res. 11

       Whereas, last Congress the Committee on Armed Services 
     conducted a staff inquiry into allegations regarding 
     irregularities in the administration of a contract for 
     logistical support in Iraq by the Department of the Army;
       Whereas, upon the completion of the Committee's staff 
     inquiry, the Chairman and Ranking Member referred to the 
     Acting Inspector General of the Department of Defense for 
     review allegations regarding the Administration of this 
     LOGCAP contract;
       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 the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Armed 
     Services Committee, acting jointly, are authorized to produce 
     to the Department of Defense Inspector General records of the 
     Committee's staff inquiry into allegations relating to the 
     administration of the Army's LOGCAP contract.
