                              S. Res. 136

       Whereas, in the case of United States ex rel. Sequoia 
     Orange Company v. Sunland Packing House Company, Case No. CV-
     F-88-566 OWWW/DLB, and consolidated cases, pending in the 
     United States District Court for the Eastern District of 
     California, a subpoena for testimony at a hearing has been 
     issued to Senator Dianne Feinstein;
       Whereas, by Rule VI of the Standing Rules of the Senate, no 
     Senator shall absent himself or herself from the service of 
     the Senate without leave;
       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, pursuant to sections 703(a) and 704(a)(2) of the 
     Ethics in Government Act of 1978, 2 U.S.C. Sec. Sec. 228b(a) 
     and 228c(a)(2) (1994), the Senate may direct its counsel to 
     represent committees, Members, officers, and employees of the

     their official capacity: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate Legal Counsel is directed to 
     represent Senator Feinstein in connection with the subpoena 
     issued to her in these cases.
