S238 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — SENATE January 8, 2009 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The 

clerk will report the resolution by 

title. 

The legislative clerk read as follows: 

A resolution (S. Res. 11) to authorize production of documents to the Department of 

Defense Inspector General. 

There being no objection, the Senate 

proceeded to consider the resolution. 

Mr. REID. Mr. President, last Congress, the staff of the Committee on 

Armed Services conducted an inquiry 

into allegations regarding irregularities in the administration by the Department of the Army of a Logistics 

Civil Augmentation Program, 

LOGCAP, contract for logistical support in Iraq. At the conclusion of that 

staff inquiry, the chairman and ranking member of the committee referred 

allegations regarding administration of 

the LOGCAP contract to the Department of Defense acting Inspector General for review. 

The chairman and ranking member 

would like to share with the inspector 

general records of the committee staff 

inquiry to assist in the conduct of the 

inspector general’s review. This resolution would accordingly authorize the 

chairman and ranking member, acting 

jointly, to release committee records 

relating to this matter to the Defense 

Department Inspector General. 

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the resolution be agreed to, 

the preamble be agreed to, the motions 

to reconsider be laid upon the table, 

with no intervening action or debate, 

and that any statements relating to 

the resolution be printed in the 

RECORD. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without 

objection, it is so ordered. 

The resolution (S. Res. 11) was agreed 

to. 

The preamble was agreed to. 

The resolution, with its preamble, 

reads as follows: 

S. RES. 11 

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; 

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 

Resolved, 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.

Mr. REID. Mr. President, I am told 

there are two bills at the desk. I, therefore, ask for their first reading en bloc.

The legislative clerk read as follows: 

A bill (S. 181) to amend title VII of the 

Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and 

to modify the operation of the Americans

Standards Act of 1938 to provide more effective remedies to victims of discrimination in 

the payment of wages on the basis of sex, and
