                               RESOLUTION


 
 To authorize testimony, document production, and legal representation 
                    in State of Indiana v. Amy Han.

Whereas, in the case of State of Indiana v. Amy Han, C. No. 99-148243, pending 
        in the Indiana Superior Court of Marion County, Criminal Division, 
        testimony has been requested from Lesley Reser and Lane Ralph, employees 
        in the office of Senator Richard Lugar;
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 Lesley Reser and Lane Ralph, and any other employee 
of Senator Lugar's office from whom testimony may be required, are 
authorized to testify and produce documents in the case of State of 
Indiana v. Amy Han, except concerning matters for which a privilege 
should be asserted.
    Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Lesley 
Reser, Lane Ralph, and any other employee of Senator Lugar's office in 
connection with the testimony and document production authorized in 
section one of this resolution.
                                 <all>
