 PUBLIC LAW 95-521—OCT. 26, 1978 of a matter by the Attorney General, if the matter relates to a matter within such special prosecutor's prosecutorial jurisdiction as established by the division of the court. If such a referral is accepted, the special prosecutor shall notify the division of the court. "(f) A special prosecutor shall, to the extent that such special prosecutor deems appropriate, comply with the written policies of the Department of Justice respecting enforcement of the criminal laws. "§ 595. Reporting and congressional oversight "(a) A special prosecutor appointed under this chapter may make public from time to time, and shall send to the Congress statements or reports on the activities of such special prosecutor. These statements and reports shall contain such information as such special prosecutor deems appropriate. "(b)(1) In addition to any reports made under subsection (a) of this section, and before the termination of a special prosecutor's office under section 596(b) of this title, such special prosecutor shall submit to the division of the court a report under this subsection. "(2) A report under this subsection shall set forth fully and completely a description of the work of the special prosecutor, including the disposition of all cases brought, and the reasons for not prosecuting any matter within the prosecutorial jurisdiction of such special prosecutor which was not prosecuted. "(3) The division of the court may release to the Congress, the public, or to any appropriate person, such portions of a report made under this subsection as the division deems appropriate. The division of the court shall make such orders as are appropriate to protect the rights of any individual named in such report and to prevent undue interference with any pending prosecution. The division of the court may make any portion of a report under this section available to any individual named in such report for the purposes of receiving within a time limit set by the division of the court any comments or factual information that such individual may submit. Such comments and factual information, in whole or in part, may in the discretion of such division be included as an appendix to such report. "(c) A special prosecutor shall advise the House of Representatives of any substantial and credible information which such special prosecutor receives that may constitute grounds for an impeachment. Nothing in this chapter or section 49 of this title shall prevent the Congress or either House thereof from obtaining information in the course of an impeachment proceeding. "(d) The appropriate committees of the Congress shall have oversight jurisdiction with respect to the official conduct of any special prosecutor appointed under this chapter, and such special prosecutor shall have the duty to cooperate with the exercise of such oversight jurisdiction. "(e) A majority of majority party members or a majority of all nonmajority party members of the Committee on the Judiciary of either House of the Congress may request in writing that the Attorney General apply for the appointment of a special prosecutor. Not later than thirty days after the receipt of such a request, or not later than fifteen days after the completion of a preliminary investigation of the matter with respect to which the request is made, whichever is later, the Attorney General shall provide written notification of any action the Attorney General has taken in response to such request and, if no application
