                               RESOLUTION


 
To authorize testimony and representation of Senate employee in United 
                      States v. Adam Albrett, etc.

Whereas, in the case of United States v. Adam Albrett, etc., Cr. No. 18-312, 
        pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of 
        Virginia, the government has requested testimony from Sam Frazier, an 
        employee in the office of Senator Dianne Feinstein;
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 Members, officers, and 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 Sam Frazier, an employee in the Office of Senator 
Dianne Feinstein, is authorized to testify in the case of United States 
v. Adam Albrett, etc., except concerning matters for which a privilege 
should be asserted.
    Sec. 2.  The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Mr. 
Frazier in connection with the testimony authorized in section one of 
this resolution.
