To authorize testimony and representation of former and current Senate

Whereas, pursuant to sections 703(a) and 704(a)(2) of the Ethics in Government

        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 Elizabeth Criner, and any other former or current

    Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Senator 
Larry Craig, Elizabeth Criner, and any other Member or employee of the 
Senate in connection with the testimony authorized in section one of
