                               RESOLUTION


 
  To authorize the production of records by the Committee on Foreign 
                               Relations.

Whereas, the Committee on Foreign Relations has received a request from the 
        Department of Justice for access to records relating to a panel 
        discussion attended by committee staff that may be relevant to a case, 
        United States v. Peter Biar Ajak, CR-24-00394-PHX-SPL, now pending in 
        the United States District Court for the District of Arizona;
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 Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the 
Committee on Foreign Relations, acting jointly, are authorized to 
provide to the Department of Justice for use in connection with United 
States v. Peter Biar Ajak committee records relating to a panel 
discussion attended by committee staff.
