SENATE RESOLUTION 386--TO AUTHORIZE TESTIMONY AND LEGAL REPRESENTATION 
                 IN STATE OF NEBRASKA v. PAMIR J. SAFI

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

                              S. Res. 386

       Whereas, in the case of State of Nebraska v. Pamir J. Safi, 
     No. CR05-87, pending in Nebraska District Court for Lancaster 
     County in Lincoln, Nebraska, testimony has been requested 
     from Dorothy Anderson and Blayne Garth Glissman, Jr., former 
     employees in the office of Senator Chuck Hagel;
       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

       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 Dorothy Anderson and Blayne Garth Glissman, 
     Jr. are authorized to testify in the case of State of 
     Nebraska v. Pamir J. Saji, except concerning matters for 
     which a privilege should be asserted.
       Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent 
     Dorothy Anderson and Blayne Garth Glissman, Jr. in connection 
     with the testimony authorized in section one of this 
     resolution.
