                               RESOLUTION


 
   To authorize testimony by and representation of Senate employees.

Whereas, in the case of Haywood Galbreath v. Associated Press, Case No. CV 
        933132, pending in the United States District Court for the Central 
        District of California, the defendant Associated Press seeks the 
        testimony of Maurice Johnson, an employee of the Senate who is the 
        Superintendent of the Press Photographers' Gallery of the Senate;
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. 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 testimony and documents provided 
        in their official capacity: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That Maurice Johnson, and any other employee of the 
Senate from whom testimony or the production of documents is required, 
are authorized to testify and to produce documents in the case of 
Haywood Galbreath v. Associated Press, except concerning matters for 
which a privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2. That the Senate Legal Counsel is directed to represent 
Maurice Johnson, and any other employee of the Senate whose testimony 
is required, in connection with the testimony and production of 
documents authorized under section 1.

                                 <all>
