   SENATE RESOLUTION 130--TO AUTHORIZE TESTIMONY BY A MEMBER AND AN 
                         EMPLOYEE OF THE SENATE

  Mr. LOTT (for himself and Mr. Daschle) submitted the following 
resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                              S. Res. 130

       Whereas, in the case of United States v. Delyla D. Wilson, 
     Case No. 97-CR-82-BLG, pending in the United States District 
     Court for the District of Montana, subpoenas have been issued 
     for testimony by Dwight MacKay, an employee on the staff of 
     Senator Conrad Burns;
       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: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That Dwight MacKay is authorized to testify in 
     the case of United States v. Delyla D. Wilson, except 
     concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
       Sec. 2. The testimony of Senator Conrad Burns in related 
     state proceedings is authorized.
