    To authorize testimony and legal representation in State of New 
                   Hampshire v. Macy E. Morse, et al.

Whereas, in the case of State of New Hampshire v. Macy E. Morse, et al., pending 
        in Portsmouth District Court for the State of New Hampshire, testimony 
        has been requested from Joel Maiola, a staff member in the office 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 228c(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 Joel Maiola is authorized to provide testimony in 
the case of State of New Hampshire v. Macy E. Morse, et al., except 
concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Joel 
Maiola in connection with any testimony authorized in section one of 
this resolution.
