                               RESOLUTION


 
 To authorize testimony, document production, and legal representation 
         in United States of America v. David Hossein Safavian.

Whereas, in the case of United States of America v. David Hossein Safavian, 
        Crim. No. 05-370, pending in the United States District Court for the 
        District of Columbia, testimony and documents have been requested from 
        Bryan D. Parker, an employee on the staff of the Committee on Indian 
        Affairs;
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 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 Bryan D. Parker, and any other employee of the 
Committee on Indian Affairs from whom testimony or the production of 
documents may be required, are authorized to testify and produce 
documents in the case of United States of America v. David Hossein 
Safavian, except concerning matters for which a privilege should be 
asserted.
    Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Bryan 
D. Parker, and any other Members, officers, or employees of the Senate, 
in connection with the testimony and document production authorized in 
section one of this resolution.
                                 <all>
