Whereas section 303(f) of the Civil Rights Act of 1991 (2 U.S.C. 1203(f)) 
        provides that for the purpose of representation by the Senate Legal 
        Counsel, the Office of Senate Fair Employment Practices shall be deemed

Whereas, pursuant to sections 703(a) and 704(a)(1) of the Ethics in Government 
        Act of 1978, (2 U.S.C. 288b(a), 288c(a)(1)), the Senate may direct its 
        Counsel to defend a committee of the Senate in any civil action in which 
        there is placed in issue any action taken by such committee in its 
        official capacity: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate Legal Counsel is directed to represent 
the Office of Senate Fair Employment Practices in the case of Betty 
Johnson v. Office of Senate Fair Employment Practices.
