To authorize testimony and representation of former Senate employee in 
                         Ward v. United States

Whereas, in the case of Carol Ward v. United States, Civil Case No. 95-WY-810-
        WD, pending in the United States District Court for the District of 
        Colorado, testimony has been requested from William T. Brack, a former 
        chief of staff to Senator Hank Brown;
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 
        any subpoena, order, or request for testimony relating to their official 
        responsibilities;
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: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That William T. Brack is authorized to testify in the 
case of Carol Ward v. United States, Civil Case No. 95-WY-810-WD (D. 
Colo.), except concerning matters for which a privilege should be 
asserted.
    Sec. 2. That the Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent 
William T. Brack in connection with his testimony in Carol Ward v. 
United States.
