                               RESOLUTION


 
To authorize testimony in United States of America v. Vincent J. Fumo, 
                                 et al.

Whereas, in the case of United States of America v. Vincent J. Fumo, et al., Cr. 
        No. 06-319, pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern 
        District of Pennsylvania, testimony has been subpoenaed from David 
        Urban, a former employee of the office of Senator Arlen Specter;
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;
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 David Urban is authorized to testify in United 
States of America v. Vincent J. Fumo, et al., except concerning matters 
for which a privilege should be asserted.
