Mr. President, the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs has received a request from a federal law enforcement agency seeking access to records that the Subcommittee obtained during its recent investigation into how politically powerful foreign officials, their relatives and close associates have used the services of United States professionals and financial institutions to bring large amounts of suspect funds into the United States to advance their interests and to circumvent United States anti-money laundering and anti-corruption safeguards. This resolution would authorize the Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, acting jointly, to provide records, obtained by the Subcommittee in the course of its investigation, in response to this request and to other government entities and officials with a legitimate need for the records. ____________________
