fall within the relevant Rule 6(c) exception, and alt' ::_h trial court has substantial discretion in such matters, Petrol Stops, 99 S. Ct. 1667, 1675, I do not believe it is empowered to carve out a new exception to accomodate this type of request,

Inasmuch as this conclusion is in effect dispositive of this matter, the questions and policy considerations raised by the remaining contentions of the parties, require no discussion.

Under these circumstances and upon consideration of the representations of all the parties, the Court ORDERS:

(1) That the Comittee's request for grand jury transcripts and/or excerpts therefrom be, and it is, denied, and it further ORDERS

(2) That the remaining materials covered by the petition

be disclosed to the Committee.

With respect to sensitive documents which might be

produced the Court has no reason to suspect that the Committee will disregard any valid request for confidentiality.

The Select Committee on Ethics of the United States Senate ("the Committee") has moved, pursuant to Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, 6 (e), for access to certain information and materials constituting grand jury materials in the proceedings referenced above. It appears that the Committee has a compelling and particularized need for the information and materials which it has requested and that disclosure is appropriate and essential to the ends of justice and to the proper performance of the Constitutional duties of the Committee. The Committee has represented to the United States Department of Justice that prior to the termination of all legal proceedings in the District Court it will not make or permit any disclosure of information or materials furnished to the Committee by the Department in this matter unless the Committee gives the Department ten (10) days advance written notice of the Committee's intention to disclose. The Department of Justice has consented to disclosure

Committee pursuant to this order shall not, without the approva: of this Court, be subject to subpoena or other mandatory process initiated by any third party; and

(c) the Committee shall not disclose to the public or to any third party, prior to the termination of all legal proceedings in the District Court, any information or materials released pursuant to this order unless the Committee gives the Department of Justice ten (10) days' advance written notice of the Committee's intention to make such disclosure.
