 SENATE RESOLUTION 688--TO AUTHORIZE TESTIMONY IN UNITED STATES V. MAX 
                           OBUSZEWSKI, ET AL

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

                              S. Res. 688

       Whereas, in the case of United States v. Max Obuszewski, et 
     al., Case No. 2008-CMD-5824, pending in the Superior Court 
     for the District of Columbia, the prosecution has subpoenaed 
     testimony from Justin Beller, an employee in the Office of 
     the Senate Sergeant at Arms;
       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 Justin Beller is authorized to testify in 
     the case of United States v. Max Obuszewski, et al., except 
     concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
