Each depository is responsible for securing such a written agreement for all recordings distributed by it. Signed agreements shall be retained for a period of at least two years and, upon request, copies of the agreements shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Senate or to the Rules Committee. A suggested form of agreement is attached. 5.0 Property Rights and Agreements with Depositories--The Senate retains all property rights to the recordings of proceedings in the Senate Chamber transferred to the Library of Congress and the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration and those depositories shall hold such recordings in accordance with the terms of an agreement to be entered into with the Secretary of the Senate, subject to the approval of the Rules Committee. Pursuant to S. Res. 28 (99th Congress): ``Sec. 5. (a) The use of any recording of Senate proceedings for political campaign purposes is strictly prohibited.
