                               RESOLUTION


 
   To authorize production of Senate documents and representation by 
  Senate Legal Counsel in the case of Rose Larker, et al. v. Kevin A. 
                         Carias-Herrera, et al.

Whereas, in the case of Rose Larker, et al. v. Kevin A. Carias-Herrera, et al., 
        Civil No. 97CA06257, pending in the Superior Court for the District of 
        Columbia, a subpoena has been issued for the production of documents of 
        the Sergeant-at-Arms and Doorkeeper 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. 288b(a) and 288c(a)(2), the Senate may direct its 
        counsel to represent Members, officers, and employees of the Senate with 
        respect to any subpoena, order, or request for testimony or document 
        production 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 or administrative process, 
        be taken from such control or possession 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 the Sergeant-at-Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate is 
authorized to produce documents relevant to the case of Rose Larker, et 
al. v. Kevin A. Carias-Herrera, et al.
    Sec. 2. That the Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent 
the Sergeant-at-Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate in connection with 
the production of documents in this case.
