                               RESOLUTION


 
To authorize testimony by Senate employee and representation by Senate 
                             Legal Counsel.
Whereas, in the case of United States v. George C. Matthews, Case No. 95-CR-11, 
        pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of 
        Wisconsin, a subpoena for testimony has been issued to Darin Schroeder, 
        an employee of the Senate on the staff of Senator Feingold;
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. Sec. 288b(a) and 288c(a)(2) (1994), 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 Darin Schroeder and any other employees in Senator 
Feingold's office from whom testimony may be necessary are authorized 
to testify and to produce records in the case of United States v. 
George C. Matthews, except concerning matters for which a privilege 
should be asserted.
    Sec. 2. That the Senate Legal Counsel is directed to represent 
Darin Schroeder and any other employee in connection with the testimony 
authorized under section 1.
