      AUTHORIZATION OF TESTIMONY, DOCUMENT PRODUCTION, AND LEGAL 
                             REPRESENTATION

  Mr. REID. I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the 
consideration of S. Res. 136 submitted earlier today by the majority 
and other Republican leaders.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 136) to authorize testimony, document 
     production, and legal representation in the State of 
     Connecticut versus Kenneth J. LaFontaine, Jr.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
resolution.
  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, this resolution concerns a request for 
testimony and document production in a criminal case in the Superior 
Court in Hartford, CT. A resident of Connecticut has been charged with 
inciting injury to a person, second-degree harassment, and threatening. 
The criminal charges arise out of threatening and abusive telephone 
messages left on an answering machine at Senator Lieberman's 
Connecticut District office, located in Hartford, CT, threatening, 
among other things, to inflict bodily injury through an attack on a 
Federal building.
  This resolution would authorize an employee on Senator Lieberman's 
staff who heard the threatening messages to testify and to produce 
evidence of the calls, with representation by the Senate Legal Counsel.
  Mr. REID. I ask unanimous consent the resolution and preamble be 
agreed to en bloc, the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table en 
bloc, and any statements relating thereto be printed in the Record.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The resolution (S. Res. 136) was agreed to.
  The preamble was agreed to.
  (The resolution is printed in today's Record under ``Resolutions 
Submitted.'')
