SENATE RESOLUTION 312--TO AUTHORIZE TESTIMONY, DOCUMENT PRODUCTION, AND 
          LEGAL REPRESENTATION IN STATE OF INDIANA V. AMY HAN

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

                              S. Res. 312

       Whereas, in the case of State of Indiana v. Amy Han, C. No. 
     99-148243, pending in the Indiana Superior Court of Marion 
     County, Criminal Division, testimony has been requested from 
     Lesley Reser and Lane Ralph, employees in the office of 
     Senator Richard Lugar;
       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 Lesley Reser and Lane Ralph, and any other 
     employee of Senator Lugar's office from whom testimony may be 
     required, are authorized to testify and produce documents in 
     the case of State of Indiana v. Amy Han, except concerning 
     matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
       Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent 
     Lesley Reser, Lane Ralph,


     and any other employee of Senator Lugar's office in 
     connection with the testimony and document production 
     authorized in section one of this resolution.
