                               RESOLUTION


 
To authorize testimony by Senate employees and representation by Senate 
                             Legal Counsel.

    Whereas the defendant in Triangle MLP United Partnership v. United 
            States, No. 95-430C, a civil action pending in the United 
            States Court of Federal Claims, is seeking testimony at a 
            deposition from Charles Stek and Rebecca Wagner, employees 
            of the Senate who are on the staff of Senator Paul S. 
            Sarbanes;
    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 Charles Stek, Rebecca Wagner, and any other employee 
of the Senate from whom testimony may be required are authorized to 
testify and to produce documents in the case of Triangle MLP United 
Partnership v. United States, except concerning matters for which a 
privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2. That the Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent 
Charles Stek, Rebecca Wagner, and any other employee of the Senate in 
connection with the testimony authorized by this resolution.
                                 <all>
