                         SUBMITTED RESOLUTIONS

                                 ______
                                 

SENATE RESOLUTION 181--TO AUTHORIZE TESTIMONY, DOCUMENT PRODUCTION AND 
     LEGAL REPRESENTATION IN STATE OF IDAHO V. JOSEPH DANIEL HOOPER

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

                              S. Res. 181

       Whereas, in the case of State of Idaho v. Joseph Daniel 
     Hooper, C. No. CRM-01-11531, pending in the District Court of 
     the First Judicial District of the State of Idaho, in and for 
     the County of Kootenai, testimony has been requested from 
     Elizabeth Kay Tucker, a former employee in the Coeur d'Alene 
     office of Senator Larry E. Craig;
       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 
     Elizabeth Kay Tucker, or any other current or former employee 
     of Senator Craig, is authorized to testify and produce 
     documents in the case of State of Idaho v. Joseph Daniel 
     Hooper, except concerning matters for which a privilege 
     should be asserted.
       Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent 
     Elizabeth Kay Tucker and any other current or former employee 
     of Senator Craig's in connection with the testimony and 
     document production authorized in section one of this 
     resolution.
