  AUTHORIZING TESTIMONY, DOCUMENT PRODUCTION AND LEGAL REPRESENTATION

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the immediate consideration of S. Res. 181, introduced 
earlier today by the majority and minority leaders.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 181) to authorize testimony, document 
     production, and legal representation in State of Idaho v. 
     Joseph Daniel Hooper.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
resolution.
  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, this resolution concerns a request for 
testimony in a criminal action in Idaho District Court for the County 
of Kootenai. In the case of Senate of Idaho v. Joseph Daniel Hooper, 
the Coeur d'Alene city attorney's office has charged the defendant with 
two counts of misdemeanor telephone harassment, the first of which 
arises out of calls to Senator Craig's office. Pursuant to subpoena 
issued on behalf of the city prosecutor, this resolution authorizes a 
former employee in Senator Craig's Coeur d'Alene office who witnessed 
the events giving rise to this first harassment charge, and any other 
employee in the Senator's office from whom testimony may be required, 
to testify and produce documents at trial, with representation by the 
Senate Legal Counsel.
  Mr. REID. I ask unanimous consent that the resolution and preamble be 
agreed to en bloc, the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table, 
with no intervening action.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The resolution (S. Res. 181) was agreed to.
  The preamble was agreed to.
  (The text of the resolution, with its preamble, is printed in today's 
Record under ``Statements on Submitted Resolutions.'')
