Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S2934; text: CR S2932)
This Senate resolution authorizes the Foreign Relations Committee to provide records to the Department of Justice for use in a criminal case against Peter Biar Ajak pending in Arizona federal court. The Justice Department requested access to committee records related to a panel discussion that committee staff attended, which may be relevant evidence in the case. Under Senate rules, no records under Senate control can be released through administrative or judicial process without the Senate's permission. The resolution allows the committee's chairman and ranking member to jointly decide to turn over these specific records to help promote justice while respecting Senate privileges. No funding or specific timelines are involved in this procedural authorization.
