So the motion to instruct the managers on the part of the House was

agreed to.

A motion to reconsider the vote

whereby said motion was agreed to

was, by unanimous consent, laid on the

table.

T134.11 PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE

Ms. SLAUGHTER rose to a question

of the privileges of the House and submitted the following privileged resolution (H. Res. 244):

Whereas, on September 28, 1995, the Subcommittee on National Economic Growth,

Natural Resources and Regulatory Affairs of

the Committee on Government Reform and

Oversight held a hearing on political advocacy of Federal grantees;

Whereas, the president of the Alliance for

Justice, a national association of public interest and civil rights organizations testified

at that hearing;

Whereas, a document was placed upon the

press table for distribution at the hearing

which contained the letterhead, including

the name, address, phone number, fax number, and E-mail address of the Alliance for

Justice, and the names of certain member

organizations and the dollar amounts of Federal grants they received;

Whereas, in her opening statement at the

hearing, the president of the Alliance for

Justice identified the document as being

forged and contained errors and requested an

explanation from the chairman of the subcommittee as to the source of the document;

Whereas, in response, the chairman acknowledged that the document was created

by the subcommittee staff;

Whereas, House Information Resources, at

the request of the subcommittee staff, prepared the forged document;

Whereas, the document was prepared using

official funds;

Whereas, the chairman of the subcommittee acknowledged in a letter, dated

September 28, 1995, to the president of the

Alliance for Justice that ‘‘the graphics, unfortunately, appeared to simulate the Alliance’s letterhead’’;

Whereas, the September 29, 1995, issue of

the National Journal’s CongressDaily reported that Representative McIntosh’s communications director said that ‘‘the letterhead was taken from a faxed document,

scanned into their computer system and altered’’; and

Whereas, questions continue to arise regarding the responsibility for preparation of

the forced document: the chairman of the

subcommittee stated during the hearing that

he had no prior knowledge of the document’s

preparation; the chairman later stated that

the subcommittee staff prepared the document: and other published reports suggested

that Chairman McIntosh’s personal office

staff prepared the document:

Whereas, on September 27, 1995, the Speaker expressed concern over the distribution of

unattributed documents and announced a

policy requiring that materials disseminated

on the floor of the House must bear the name

of the Member authorizing their distribution;

Whereas, Members and staff of the House

have an obligation to ensure the proper use

of documents and other materials and exhibits prepared for use at committee and subcommittee hearings and which are made

available to Members, the public or the

press, and to ensure that the source of such

documents or other materials is not misrepresented;

Whereas, committees and subcommittees

should not create documents for use in their

proceedings that may give the impression

that such documents were created by other

persons or organizations, as occurred at the

September 28, 1995, hearing of the Subcommittee on National Economic Growth,

Natural Resources and Regulatory Affairs;

Whereas, the dissemination of a forged

document distorts the public record and affects the ability of the House of Representatives, its committees, and Members to perform their legislative functions, and constitutes a violation of the integrity of committee proceedings which form a core of the

legislative process: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Speaker shall take such

action as may be necessary to provide an appropriate remedy to ensure that the integrity of the legislative process is protected,

and shall report his actions and recommendations to the House.

The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr.

WALKER, ruled that the resolution

submitted did present a question of the

privileges of the House under rule IX.

Mr. ARMEY moved to lay the resolution on the table.

The question being put, viva voce,

Will the House lay the resolution on

the table?

The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr.

WALKER, announced that the yeas had

it.

Ms. SLAUGHTER demanded a recorded vote on agreeing to said motion,

which demand was supported by onefifth of a quorum, so a recorded vote

was ordered.

The vote was taken by electronic device.

It was decided in the Yeas ....... 236 ! affirmative ................... Nays ...... 189
