                               RESOLUTION


 
  To authorize testimony, document production, and representation of 
 employees in the Senate in Bonnie Mendelson v. Delaware River and Bay 
                               Authority.

 Whereas, in the case of Bonnie Mendelson v. Delaware River and Bay Authority, 
        Civil Action No. 98-90-GSL, pending in the U.S. District Court for the 
        District of Delaware, testimony has been requested from David P. Hauck 
        and Julie B. Cardillo, employees of the Congressional Special Services 
        Office, and Bonnie Powell, a former employee of the Congressional 
        Special Services Office;
 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 administrative or 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 David P. Hauck, Julie B. Cardillo, Bonnie Powell, 
and any other current or former employee of the Senate from whom 
testimony or document production may be required, are authorized to 
testify and produce documents in the case of Bonnie Mendelson v. 
Delaware River and Bay Authority, except concerning matters for which a 
privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent David 
P. Hauck, Julie B. Cardillo, Bonnie Powell, and any other current or 
former employee of the Senate in connection with the testimony and 
document production authorized in section 1.
