                               RESOLUTION


 
 To authorize testimony, document production, and legal representation 
                  in United States v. Ellen Rose Hart.

Whereas, in the case of United States v. Ellen Rose Hart, CR-F 99-5275 AWI, 
        pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of 
        California, testimony has been requested from Eric Vizcaino, an employee 
        in the office of Senator Boxer, and Monica Borvice, an employee in the 
        office of Senator Feinstein;
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 Eric Vizcaino, Monica Borvice, and any other 
employee of the Senate from whom testimony or document production may 
be required are authorized to testify and produce documents in the case 
of United States v. Ellen Rose Hart, except concerning matters for 
which a privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Eric 
Vizcaino, Monica Borvice, and any Member or employee of the Senate in 
connection with the testimony and document production authorized in 
section one of this resolution.
                                 <all>
