                               RESOLUTION


 
To authorize testimony, documents, and representation in United States 
                              v. Wornick.

Whereas, in the case of United States v. Wornick, Cr. No. 20-106, pending in the 
        United States District Court for the District of Colorado, the 
        prosecution has requested the production of testimony and, if necessary, 
        documents from Bailey McCue, an employee of the office of former Senator 
        Cory Gardner;
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 current and former employees of the 
        Senate with respect to any subpoena, order, or request for testimony or 
        documents 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 Bailey McCue, an employee of the office of former 
Senator Cory Gardner, and any other employee of the former Senator's 
office from whom relevant evidence may be necessary, are authorized to 
testify and produce documents in the case of United States v. Wornick, 
except concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2.  The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent 
Senator Gardner and any employees of his former office in connection 
with the production of evidence authorized in section one of this 
resolution.
