 SENATE RESOLUTION 181--RELATIVE TO THE TESTIMONY OF A SENATE EMPLOYEE

  Mr. FORD (for Mr. Mitchell, for himself and Mr. Dole) submitted the 
following resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                              S. Res. 181

       Whereas, in the case of United States v. Eduardo Lopez 
     Ballori, Cr. No. 91-380(GG), which was tried in the United 
     States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico in 
     1992, the United States obtained the trial testimony of 
     Claudia Breggia, a Senate employee;
       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 
     can, by administrative or judicial 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 is needed for the promotion 
     of justice, the Senate will take such action as will promote 
     the ends of justice consistent with the privileges of the 
     Senate;
       Whereas, pursuant to 2 U.S.C. Sec. 130b(e)(1), the Senate's 
     authorization of testimony is required in order for witness 
     travel expenses to be reimbursable: Now therefore be it
       Resolved, That the testimony of Claudia Breggia in United 
     States v. Eduardo Lopez Ballori, Cr. No. 91-380(GG) is deemed 
     authorized.
