SENATE RESOLUTION 186--AUTHORIZING THE TESTIMONY BY AND REPRESENTATION 
                          OF SENATE EMPLOYEES

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

                              S. Res. 186

       Whereas, in the case of Haywood Galbreath v. Associated 
     Press, Case No. CV 933132, pending in the United States 
     District Court for the Central District of California, the 
     defendant Associated Press seeks the testimony of Maurice 
     Johnson, an employee of the Senate who is the Superintendent 
     of the Press Photographers's Gallery of the Senate;
       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 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 consistently with the 
     privileges of the Senate;
       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) (1988), the Senate may direct its counsel to 
     represent committees, Members, officers and employees of the 
     Senate with respect to testimony and documents provided in 
     their official capacity: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That Maurice Johnson, and any other employee of 
     the Senate from whom testimony or the production of documents 
     is required, are authorized to testify and to produce 
     documents in the case of Haywood Galbreath v. Associated 
     Press, except concerning matters for which a privilege should 
     be asserted.
       Sec. 2. That the Senate Legal Counsel is directed to 
     represent Maurice Johnson, and any other employee of the 
     Senate whose testimony is required, in connection with the 
     testimony and production of documents authorized under 
     section 1.
