                               RESOLUTION


 
To authorize testimony, production of documents, and representation of 
          Senate employee in State of Florida v. Kathleen Bush

Whereas, in the case of State of Florida v. Kathleen Bush, Case No. 96-6912 
        CF10(A), pending in the Circuit Court for Broward County, Florida, 
        testimony and document production has been requested from Mary Chiles, 
        an employee on the staff of Senator Bob Graham;
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 or documents 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; and
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 Mary Chiles, and any other employee from whom 
testimony may be required, are authorized to testify and to produce 
documents in the case of State of Florida v. Kathleen Bush, except 
concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2. That the Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent 
Mary Chiles, and any other employee from whom testimony or document 
production may be required, in connection with State of Florida v. 
Kathleen Bush.
