                               RESOLUTION


 
To authorize testimony and legal representation in State of Nebraska v. 
                             Pamir J. Safi.

Whereas, in the case of State of Nebraska v. Pamir J. Safi, No. CR05-87, pending 
        in Nebraska District Court for Lancaster County in Lincoln, Nebraska, 
        testimony has been requested from Dorothy Anderson and Blayne Garth 
        Glissman, Jr., former employees in the office of Senator Chuck Hagel;
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 Dorothy Anderson and Blayne Garth Glissman, Jr. are 
authorized to testify in the case of State of Nebraska v. Pamir J. 
Safi, except concerning matters for which a privilege should be 
asserted.
    Sec. 2.  The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent 
Dorothy Anderson and Blayne Garth Glissman, Jr. in connection with the 
testimony authorized in section one of this resolution.
                                 <all>
