AUTHORIZING THE PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS BY THE SENATE PERMANENT SUBCOMMITTEE ON
INVESTIGATIONS
TEXT: Mr. DOLE (for himself and

S. RES. 71
Whereas, in 1971 the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations investigated and
held hearings on organized crime and stolen securities;
Whereas, the Department of Justice has requested access to certain papers in the
Subcommittee's files from that investigation which may be useful in connection
with a criminal proceeding;
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 documents, papers, and records under the control
of or in the possession of the Senate are needful for use in any court for the
promotion of justice, the Senate will take such action as will promote the ends
of justice consistently with the privileges and rights of the Senate: Now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the Permanent
Subcommittee on Investigations, acting jointly, are authorized to provide to the
Department of Justice records of the Subcommittee relating to its investigation
of organized crime and stolen securities
