  To authorize testimony and legal representation in State of Iowa v. 
   Chester Guinn, Brian David Terrell, Dixie Jenness Webb, Kathleen 
                   McQuillen, and Elton Lloyd Davis.

Whereas, in the cases of State of Iowa v. Chester Guinn (SMAC288541), Brian 
        David Terrell (SMAC288544), Dixie Jenness Webb (SMAC288545), Kathleen 
        McQuillen (SMAC288543), and Elton Lloyd Davis (SMAC288539), pending in 
        Iowa District Court for Polk County in Des Moines, Iowa, testimony has 
        been requested from Robert Renaud and Janice Goode, employees in the 
        office of Senator Chuck Grassley;
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 Robert Renaud and Janice Goode, are authorized to 
testify in the cases of State of Iowa v. Chester Guinn, Brian David 
Terrell, Dixie Jenness Webb, Kathleen McQuillen, and Elton Lloyd Davis, 
except concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2.  The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Robert 
Renaud and Janice Goode in the actions referenced in section one of 
this resolution.
