                               RESOLUTION


 
To authorize testimony by Senate employees and representation by Senate 
                             Legal Counsel.
Whereas the plaintiffs in Barnstead Broadcasting Corporation and BAF 
        Enterprises, Inc. v. Offshore Broadcasting Corporation, Civ. No. 94-
        2167, a civil action pending in the United States District Court for the 
        District of Columbia, are seeking the deposition testimony of Barbara 
        Riehle and John Seggerman, Senate employees who work for Senator John 
        Chafee;
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;
Whereas when it appears that evidence under the control or in the possession of 
        the Senate is needed for the promotion of justice, the Senate will take 
        such action as will promote the ends of justice consistent 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. Sec. Sec. 288b(a) and 288c(a)(2), the Senate may 
        direct its counsel to represent employees of the Senate with respect to 
        subpoenas or requests for testimony issued or made to them in their 
        official capacities: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That Barbara Riehle and John Seggerman are authorized to 
provide deposition testimony in the case of Barnstead Broadcasting 
Corporation and BAF Enterprises, Inc. v. Offshore Broadcasting 
Corporation, except concerning matters for which a privilege should be 
asserted; and
    Sec. 2. That the Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent 
Barbara Riehle and John Seggerman in connection with the deposition 
testimony authorized by this resolution.
                                 <all>
