                               RESOLUTION


 
 To authorize testimony, document production, and legal representation 
  in State of New Hampshire v. Anne Miller, Mary Lee Sargent, Jessica 
            Ellis, Lynn Chong, Donald Booth, Eileen Reardon.

Whereas, in the cases of State of New Hampshire v. Anne Miller, Mary Lee 
        Sargent, Jessica Ellis, Lynn Chong, Donald Booth, Eileen Reardon, 
        pending in Concord District Court, New Hampshire, testimony and 
        documents have been requested from Carol Carpenter, an employee 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. 288b(a) and 288c(a)(2), the Senate may direct its 
        counsel to represent an employee 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 Carol Carpenter and other employees of Senator 
Gregg'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 New Hampshire v. Anne Miller, Mary Lee Sargent, 
Jessica Ellis, Lynn Chong, Donald Booth, Eileen Reardon, except 
concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Carol 
Carpenter and other employees of Senator Gregg's office in connection 
with the testimony and document production authorized in section one of 
this resolution.
