                               RESOLUTION


 
   To authorize testimony by and representation of Senate employees.

Whereas, in the case of United States v. Thomas F. Weiss, Case No. M-772-93, 
        pending in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, subpoenas for 
        testimony have been issued to Mary Jane Hatcher, David Hauck, Mary Beth 
        Markey, Sandra Mason, and Ursula McManus, employees of the Senate on the 
        staff of the Committee on Foreign Relations;
Whereas, by the privileges of the Senate of the United States and Rule XI of the 
        Standing Rules of the Senate, no evidence under the control or in the 
        possession of the Senate may, by the judicial process, be taken from 
        such control or possession but by permission of the Senate;
Whereas, when it appears that evidence under the control or in the possession of 
        the Senate may promote the administration of justice, the Senate will 
        take such action as will promote the ends of justice consistently with 
        the privileges of the Senate; and
Whereas, pursuant to sections 703(a) and 704(a)(2) of the Ethics in Government 
        Act of 1978, 2 U.S.C. Sec. Sec. 288b(a) and 288c(a)(2)(1988), the Senate 
        may direct its counsel to represent committees, Members, officers and 
        employees of the Senate with respect to subpoenas or orders issued to 
        them in their official capacity: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That Mary Jane Hatcher, David Hauck, Mary Beth Markey, 
Sandra Mason, and Ursula McManus, and any other employee of the Senate 
who is subpoenaed to testify, are authorized to testify in the case of 
United States v. Thomas F. Weiss, except concerning matters for which a 
privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2. That the Senate Legal Counsel is directed to represent Mary 
Jane Hatcher, David Hauck, Mary Beth Markey, Sandra Mason, and Ursula 
McManus, and any Member, officer, or other employee of the Senate who 
is subpoenaed to testify, in connection with the testimony authorized 
under section 1.
