SENATE RESOLUTION 215--RELATING TO THE TESTIMONY AND REPRESENTATION OF 
                              SENATE STAFF

  Mr. MITCHELL (for himself and Mr. Dole) submitted the following 
resolution; which was considered and agreed to.

                              S. Res. 215

       Whereas, in the case of Sonja I. Anderson v. Kaiser 
     Engineers Hanford Co., No. 94-ERA-14, pending in the United 
     States Department of Labor, counsel for the complainant has 
     requested deposition testimony from Robert Alvarez, a former 
     employee of the Senate on the staff of the Committee on 
     Governmental Affairs;
       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 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 
     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: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That Robert Alvarez is authorized to testify in 
     the case of Sonja I. Anderson v. Kaiser Engineers Hanford 
     Co., and any related proceedings, except concerning matters 
     for which a privilege should be asserted.
       Sec. 2. That the Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to 
     represent Robert Alvarez in connection with his testimony in 
     Sonja I. Anderson v. Kaiser Engineers Hanford Co.
