                               RESOLUTION


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

Whereas, in the case of United States of America v. Karl Zielinski, Case No. 
        F12187-94, a criminal action pending in the Superior Court of the 
        District of Columbia, the United States Attorney has caused a trial 
        subpoena to be served on Michael O'Leary, a Senate employee on the staff 
        of the Committee on the Judiciary;
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; and
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), the Senate may direct its 
        counsel to represent employees of the Senate with respect to requests 
        for testimony made to them in their official capacities: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That Michael O'Leary is authorized to provide testimony 
in the case of United States of America v. Karl Zielinski, except 
concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Michael 
O'Leary in connection with the testimony authorized by section 1 of 
this resolution.
