                               RESOLUTION


 
  To authorize testimony and document production in Richard Bowen v. 
                     Department of the Navy (MSPB).

Whereas, in the case of Richard Bowen v. Department of the Navy, No. SF-0752-09-
        0040-I-1, pending before the Merit Systems Protection Board, a request 
        has been made for documents from the office of Senator Jim Webb and a 
        declaration from Jamie Lynch, a former fellow in the office of Senator 
        Webb;
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 Jamie Lynch is authorized to testify and to produce 
documents in Richard Bowen v. Department of the Navy, except concerning 
matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
