                               RESOLUTION


 
 To authorize testimony, document production, and legal representation 
in United States v. Philip G. Balcombe, Sansi G. Coonan, John S. Dear, 
 Jan Lustig, Michella A. Marusa, Martin J. Ryan, Eleanore M. Vouselas, 
                           and Bruno Keller.

Whereas, in the case of United States v. Philip G. Balcombe, Sansi G. Coonan, 
        John S. Dear, Jan Lustig, Michella A. Marusa, Martin J. Ryan, Eleanore 
        M. Vouselas, and Bruno Keller, Cr. No. 07-207, pending in federal 
        district court in Albuquerque, New Mexico, testimony and documents have 
        been requested from Maggie Murray, an employee in the office of Senator 
        Pete Domenici;
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 Maggie Murray and any other employees of Senator 
Domenici's office from whom testimony or the production of documents 
may be required are authorized to testify and produce documents in the 
case of United States v. Philip G. Balcombe, Sansi G. Coonan, John S. 
Dear, Jan Lustig, Michella A. Marusa, Martin J. Ryan, Eleanore M. 
Vouselas, and Bruno Keller, except concerning matters for which a 
privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Maggie 
Murray and other employees of Senator Domenici's staff in the actions 
referenced in section one of this resolution.
