court below, and special counsel has hinted that more requests

may be forthcoming. In any event, if a stay in granted, the Committee may seek an early test of the Supreme Court's view of the issue by asking the Court to vacate the stay. See, e.g., Certain Named and Unnamed Non-Citizen Children and Their Parents v. Texas, 448 U.S. 1327, 1330 (1980) (Powell, Circuit Justice, in chambers).

4. There are independent grounds upon which this court might properly enlarge the period before mandate issues. The court now has before it the issues presented in In re Grand Jury 86-3 (Miami). The facts in that case present issues similar to those raised in this case, but in a substantially different context. The judiciary and the parties share an interest in seeing that the issues that stem from the Committee's requests are ultimately presented to the Supreme Court on a full record that establishes their context and illuminates the consequences of the possible resolutions. Those interests would be best served

if the issues raised in this and the succeeding case could be presented to the Supreme Court together. See Rule 19.4, Rules of the Supreme Court of the United States.

The Committee on the Judiciary, through its Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, is conducting an inquiry into whether United States District Judge Alcee L. Hastings, Jr. should be impeached. An impeachment resolution concerning Judge Hastings has been introduced, a copy of which is enclosed.

The Committee has received information suggesting that in September, 1985 Judge Hastings may have improperly disclosed electronic surveillance information concerning an FBI undercover investigation, and that this disclosure thwarted the activities of law enforcement agencies in carrying out their responsibilities.

Specifically, we have been advised that in July, 1985, the United States Attorney's Office in Miami filed an application seeking to monitor the telephone conversations of several people in connection with an investigation of the Miami local of the International Longshoreman's Association. The surveillance ran from July 15 to September 14. Judge Hastings was the judge supervising the conduct of the wiretap. In that capacity he received progress reports detailng the information derived from the surveillance. Included in these progress reports was information indicating that that the name of Mayor Steven Clark was being invoked by persons who were the subject of the investigation.
