                                 ______
                                 

  SENATE RESOLUTION 27--TO AUTHORIZE TESTIMONY AND REPRESENTATION IN 
            UNITED STATES OF AMERICA V. JEFFREY A. STERLING

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

                               S. Res. 27

       Whereas, in the case of United States of America v. Jeffrey 
     A. Sterling, Cr. No. 10-485, pending in the United States 
     District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, 
     testimony has been requested from Julie Katzman, a former 
     employee of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary;
       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 current or former 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; 
     and
       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 Julie Katzman is authorized to testify in 
     the case of United States of America v. Jeffrey A. Sterling, 
     except concerning matters for which a privilege should be 
     asserted.
       Sec. 2.  The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to 
     represent Ms. Katzman in connection with the production of 
     evidence authorized in section one of this resolution.
