SRES 229 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution to authorize the production of records by the Committee on Foreign Relations.

SRES 229 is a procedural Senate resolution authorizing the Committee on Foreign Relations to share specific records with the Department of Justice. It directly affects the Foreign Relations Committee and the Department of Justice by permitting them to provide records related to a panel discussion attended by committee staff. These records are needed for the court case *United States v. Peter Biar Ajak* (CR-24-00394-PHX-SPL) pending in Arizona federal court. The resolution allows the committee chair and ranking member to release these records without violating Senate privileges, as required by Senate Rule XI. This is a limited, case-specific authorization with no broader policy changes.
