                              S. RES. 444

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, this resolution concerns a request for 
testimony in a criminal case pending in Clark County District Court in 
Vancouver, WA. In this case, the defendant, a Vietnam War veteran, is 
charged with harassing two caseworkers in the Vancouver office of 
Senator Patty Murray. The charges arise out of threats made by the 
defendant to the two caseworkers.
  The prosecution has requested testimony at trial from the two 
caseworkers at issue, both of whom are no longer employed by the 
Senator. Senator Murray would like to cooperate with the prosecution's 
request. This resolution would authorize the former employees at issue, 
and any current employees of Senator Murray's office from whom 
testimony may be required, to provide relevant testimony, except 
concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted, with 
representation by the Senate Legal Counsel.
