SENATE RESOLUTION 261--TO AUTHORIZE TESTIMONY, DOCUMENT PRODUCTION, AND 
LEGAL REPRESENTATION IN THE STATE OF COLORADO V. DANIEL RAPHAEL EGGER, 
   SARAH JANE GERALDI, JENNIFER MELISSA GREENBERG, LISA GALE KUNKEL, 
                       BONNIE CATHERINE McCORMICK

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

                              S. Res. 261

       Whereas, in the cases of State of Colorado v. Daniel 
     Raphael Egger, Sarah Jane Geraldi, Jennifer Melissa 
     Greenberg, Lisa Gale Kunkel, Bonnie Catherine McCormack, 
     pending in the Arapahoe County Court, Colorado, testimony and 
     documents have been requested from an employee in the office 
     of Senator Wayne Allard;
       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 Members of the Senate and their employees 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 employees of Senator Allard's office from 
     whom testimony or the production of documents may be required 
     are authorized to testify and produce documents in the cases 
     of State of Colorado v. Daniel Raphael Egger, Sarah Jane 
     Geraldi, Jennifer Melissa Greenberg, Lisa Gale Kunkel, Bonnie 
     Catherine McCormick, except concerning

     matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
       Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent 
     Senator Allard and his staff in the actions referenced in 
     section one of this resolution.
