                               RESOLUTION


 
 To authorize testimony and document production and representation of 
           Senate employees in People v. James Eugene Arenas.

Whereas, in the case of People v. James Eugene Arenas, Case No. 98F2403, pending 
        in the Municipal Court for Fresno, California, testimony and document 
        production have been requested from Kelly Gill, an employee on the staff 
        of Senator Barbara Boxer;
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 the production of 
        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 Kelly Gill, and any other employee from whom 
testimony or document production may be required, are authorized to 
testify and produce documents in the case of People v. James Eugene 
Arenas, except concerning matters for which a privilege should be 
asserted.
    Sec. 2. That the Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent 
Kelly Gill, and any other employee from whom testimony or document 
production may be required, in connection with People v. James Eugene 
Arenas.
