                         SUBMITTED RESOLUTIONS

                                 ______
                                 

SENATE RESOLUTION 189--TO AUTHORIZE TESTIMONY AND LEGAL REPRESENTATION 
IN DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA V. ELLEN E. BARFIELD, EVE-LEONA TETAZ, JEFFREY 
                     A. LEYS, AND JEROME A. ZAWADA

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

                              S. Res. 189

       Whereas, in the cases of District of Columbia v. Ellen E. 
     Barfield (Cr. No. 07-3133), Eve-Leona Tetaz (Cr. No. 07-
     3144), Jeffrey A. Leys (Cr. No. 07-5009), and Jerome A. 
     Zawada (Cr. No. 07-5088), pending in the Superior Court for 
     the District of Columbia, testimony has been requested from 
     Katie Landi, an employee in the office of Senator John 
     McCain;
       Whereas, pursuant to sections 703(a) and 704(a)(2) of the 
     Ethics in Government Act of 1978, 2 U.S.C. 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 consistent with the 
     privileges of the Senate: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That Katie Landi and any other employees of 
     Senator McCain's office from whom testimony may be required 
     are authorized to testify in the cases of District of 
     Columbia v. Ellen E. Barfield, Eve-Leona Tetaz, Jeffrey A. 
     Leys, and Jerome A. Zawada, except concerning matters for 
     which a privilege should be asserted.
       Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent 
     Katie Landi and other employees of Senator McCain's staff in 
     the actions referenced in section one of this resolution.
