>On Tuesday, June 15, 1971, Senator Mike Gravel (D-Alaska) received a copy of the Pentagon Papers from Ben Bagdikian, an editor at The Washington Post.[2] Over the next several days, Gravel (who was dyslexic) was assisted by his congressional office staff in reading and analyzing the report.[2] Worried his home might be raided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Gravel smuggled the report (which filled two large suitcases) into his congressional office, which was then guarded by disabled Vietnam veterans.[2]

On the evening of June 29, 1971, Gravel attempted to read the Pentagon Papers into the Congressional Record.[3] A lack of a quorum, however, prevented the Senate from convening.[2][3] As chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Public Buildings and Grounds, Gravel convened a meeting of the subcommittee and spent an hour reading part of the Pentagon Papers into the record.[2] Prevented by his dyslexia from continuing, Gravel had the remainder of the Pentagon Papers entered into the record.[2][3]>

although i wonder if a house member can show it to a senator and the senator can read or release it .

Article 1, Section 6, Clause 1

Any congress critter in the House or Senate can read what the eff ever into the record from the floor.

that way when the shoe is on the other foot ... it's expected they'll have the opportunity to do the same.
