                               RESOLUTION


 
To authorize testimony by former Senate employee and representation by 
                          Senate Legal Counsel

Whereas, in the case of Pittston Coal Group, Inc. v. I.U., UMWA, Case No. 93-
        0162-A, pending in the United States District Court for the Western 
        District of Virginia, a subpoena for testimony at a deposition has been 
        issued to Marisa Spatafore, a former employee of the Senate on the staff 
        of Senator Rockefeller;
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;
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 subpoenas or orders issued to 
        them in their official capacity: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That Marisa Spatafore is authorized to testify in the 
case of Pittston Coal Group, Inc. v. I.U., UMWA, except concerning 
matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2. That the Senate Legal Counsel is directed to represent 
Senator Rockefeller, Marisa Spatafore, and any other Member or employee 
of the Senate from whom testimony or documents may be sought in 
connection with this case.
                                 <all>
