 To authorize testimony, document production, and legal representation 
   in State of Colorado v. Daniel Raphael Egger, Sarah Jane Geraldi, 
    Jennifer Melissa Greenberg, Lisa Gale Kunkel, Bonnie Catherine 
                               McCormick

Whereas, in the cases of State of Colorado v. Daniel Raphael Egger, Sarah Jane 
        Geraldi, Jennifer Melissa Greenberg, Lisa Gale Kunkel, Bonnie Catherine 
        McCormick, pending in the Arapahoe County Court, Colorado, testimony and 
        documents have been requested from an employee in the office of Senator 
        Wayne Allard;
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 Members of the Senate and their 
        employees 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 employees of Senator Allard's office from whom 
testimony or the production of documents may be required are authorized 
to testify and produce documents in the cases of State of Colorado v. 
Daniel Raphael Egger, Sarah Jane Geraldi, Jennifer Melissa Greenberg, 
Lisa Gale Kunkel, Bonnie Catherine McCormick, except concerning matters 
for which a privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Senator 
Allard and his staff in the actions referenced in section one of this 
resolution.
