        Act of 1978, 2 U.S.C. 288b(a) and 288c(a)(2), the Senate may direct its 
        counsel to represent Members of the Senate with respect to any subpoena, 
        order, or request for testimony relating to their official 
        responsibilities;
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 can, by administrative or judicial process, be 
        taken from such control or possession but by permission of the Senate; 
        and
Whereas by Rule VI of the Standing Rules of the Senate, no Senator shall absent 
        himself from the service of the Senate without leave: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent 
Senators Bob Dole, Sam Nunn, and Paul Coverdell in connection with the 
subpoenas in Bahre v. Butler.
