This resolution grants authorization for the Committee on Foreign Relations to produce specific records to the Department of Justice . The Department of Justice requested access to these records, which relate to a panel discussion attended by committee staff, for use in a pending court case. The Senate asserts its privilege that no evidence under its control can be taken without its permission, but acknowledges that action should be taken to promote justice when evidence is needed. Therefore, the Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the Committee on Foreign Relations, acting jointly, are specifically authorized to provide these records. This authorization is solely for the purpose of assisting with the case of United States v. Peter Biar Ajak , currently before the United States District Court for the District of Arizona.
