                       Tuesday, January 10, 2017

  Mr. NUNES. Mr. Speaker, I wish to announce that the Permanent Select 
Committee on Intelligence has voted to make a classified report 
regarding Russian activities and intentions in the recent U.S. election 
available for review by all Members of the House.
  The classified report is available for review by Members at the 
offices of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in Room HVC-
304 of the Capitol Visitors Center. The committee office will be open 
during regular business hours for the convenience of any Member who 
wishes to review the report.
  I recommend that Members wishing to review the classified report 
contact the committee's chief clerk to arrange a time and date for that 
viewing. This will assure the availability of appropriately cleared 
committee staff to assist Members who desire assistance during their 
review of these classified materials.

  It is important that Members keep in mind the requirements of clause 
13 of House Rule XXIII, which only permits access to classified 
information by those Members of the House who have signed the oath 
provided for in the Rules.
  In addition, the Committee's rules require that Members agree in 
writing to a nondisclosure agreement. The agreement indicates that the 
Member has been granted access to the classified report and that the 
Member is familiar with the rules of the House and the Committee with 
respect to the classified nature of that information and the 
limitations on the disclosure of that information.
