                               RESOLUTION


 
            To authorize the testimony of Senate employees.

Whereas, in the case of United States v. Dean, Cr. No. 92-0181, Independent 
        Counsel Arlin M. Adams has requested the trial testimony of Kenneth A. 
        McLean, a former Senate employee on the staff of the Committee on 
        Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs;
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. 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 Kenneth A. McLean, and any other present or former 
Senate employee whose testimony may be required, is authorized to 
testify in the trial of United States v. Deborah Dean, Cr. No. 92-0181 
(D.D.C.), except as to matters for which a privilege should be 
asserted.
    Sec. 2. That the Senate Legal Counsel is directed to represent 
Kenneth A. McLean, and any other present or former Senate employee, in 
connection with the testimony authorized under section 1.
