                AUTHORIZING TESTIMONY BY SENATE EMPLOYEE

  Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
now turn to the consideration of Senate Resolution 90, submitted 
earlier today regarding legal counsel; that the resolution be agreed 
to; that the preamble be agreed to; and that the motion to reconsider 
be laid upon the table.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  So the resolution (S. Res. 90) was agreed to.
  The preamble was agreed to.
  The resolution, with its preamble, is as follows:

                               S. Res. 90

       Whereas, in the case of United States v. Francisco M. 
     Duran, Cr. No. 94-447, pending in the United States District 
     Court for the District of Columbia, a subpoena for testimony 
     has been issued to Laura DiBiase, an employee of the Senate 
     on the staff of Senator Campbell;
       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 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 Laura DiBiase is authorized to produce 
     records and to testify in the case of United States v. 
     Francisco M. Duran, Cr. No. 94-447 (D.D.C.), except 
     concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
