                               RESOLUTION


 
 To authorize testimony and legal representation in the case of James 
              McKoy v. North Fork Services/Joint Venture.

Whereas, in the case of James McKoy v. North Fork Services/Joint Venture, No. 
        2004-CAA-00002, pending before the United States Department of Labor, 
        testimony has been requested from Resi Cooper, an employee in the Long 
        Island office of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton;
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 consistent with the 
        privileges of the Senate: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That Resi Cooper is authorized to testify in the case of 
James McKoy v. North Fork Services/Joint Venture, except concerning 
matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Resi 
Cooper in connection with the testimony authorized in section one of 
this resolution.
