IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
January 8, 2009
Mr. Reid (for himself and Mr. McConnell) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to
RESOLUTION
To authorize production of documents to the Department of Defense Inspector General
Whereas last Congress the Committee on Armed Services conducted a staff inquiry into allegations regarding irregularities in the administration of a contract for logistical support in Iraq by the Department of the Army;
Whereas, upon the completion of the Committee's staff inquiry, the Chairman and ranking member referred to the Acting Inspector General of the Department of Defense for review allegations regarding the Administration of this LOGCAP contract;
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 may, by the judicial or administrative process, be taken from such control or possession but by permission of the Senate; and
Whereas, when it appears that evidence under the control or in the possession of the Senate may promote the administration 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
That the Chairman and ranking member of the Armed Services Committee, acting jointly, are authorized to produce to the Department of Defense Inspector General records of the Committee's staff inquiry into allegations relating to the administration of the Army's LOGCAP contract.
