 SENATE RESOLUTION 28--TO AUTHORIZE TESTIMONY AND LEGAL REPRESENTATION 
             IN STATE OF IDAHO V. FREDRICK LEROY LEAS, SR.

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

                               S. Res. 28

       Whereas, in the case of State of Idaho v. Fredrick Leroy 
     Leas, Sr., C. No. CR-00-01326,

[[Page S1639]]

     pending in the District Court Of The Second Judicial District 
     Of The State Of Idaho, in and for the County of Latah, 
     testimony has been subpoenaed from Cindy Agidius, an employee 
     in the office of Senator Mike Crapo;
       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 
     may, by the judicial or administrative 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 Cindy Agidius is authorized to testify in 
     the case of State of Idaho v. Fredrick Leroy Leas, Sr., 
     except concerning matters for which a privilege should be 
     asserted.
       Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent 
     Cindy Agidius in connection with the testimony authorized in 
     section one of this resolution.
