                               RESOLUTION


 
 To authorize testimony and legal representation in Martin A. Lopow v. 
                         William J. Henderson.

Whereas, in the case of Martin A. Lopow v. William J. Henderson, Case No. 
        3:98CV1329-SRU, pending in the United States District Court for the 
        District of Connecticut, a subpoena for the production of documents has 
        been issued to Laura Cahill, an employee in the office of Senator Joseph 
        I. Lieberman;
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 or administrative 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 Laura Cahill is authorized to testify in the case of 
Martin A. Lopow v. William J. Henderson, except concerning matters for 
which a privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Laura 
Cahill in connection with the testimony authorized in section 1 of this 
resolution.
