                               RESOLUTION


 
To authorize testimony and legal representation in C. William Kaiser v. 
                    Department of Veterans Affairs.

Whereas, in the case of C. William Kaiser v. Department of Veterans Affairs, 
        Docket No. BN-0351-99-0110-I-1, pending before the Merit Systems 
        Protection Board, testimony has been requested from Richard Lougee, an 
        employee of Senator Judd Gregg;
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; 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 Richard Lougee is authorized to testify in the case 
of C. William Kaiser v. Department of Veterans Affairs, except 
concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Richard 
Lougee in connection with the testimony authorized in second one of 
this resolution.
