                       UNANIMOUS CONSENT REQUEST

  Mr. SHELBY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that a letter to
Senators Lott and Daschle dated May 21, 2000, be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the letter was ordered to be printed in the
Record, as follows:

                                                      U.S. Senate,
                                 Select Committee on Intelligence,
                                     Washington, DC, May 25, 2000.

     Hon. Trent Lott
     Majority Leader
     Hon. Tom Daschle
     Minority Leader
     U.S. Senate
     Washington, DC.

       Senator Lott and Daschle: S. 1902, the Japanese Imperial
     Army Disclosure Act, contains provisions affecting
     intelligence activities and programs. This legislation, which
     amends the National Security Act of 1947, would permit the
     release of any portion of any operational file of the Central
     Intelligence Agency. As you know, these are issues of
     significant interest to, and clearly within the jurisdiction
     of, the Select Committee on Intelligence. Therefore, pursuant
     to Senate Resolution 400, we hereby request that S. 1902 be
     referred to the Intelligence Committee for consideration.

           Sincerely,
     Richard C. Shelby,
       Chairman.
     Richard H. Bryan,
       Vice Chairman.
