 To authorize testimony and legal representation in State of Idaho v. 
                        Fredrick Leroy Leas, Sr.

Whereas, in the case of State of Idaho v. Fredrick Leroy Leas, Sr., C. No. CR-
        00-01326, pending in the District Court of the Second Judicial District 
        of the State of Idaho, and for the County of Latah, testimony has been 
        subpoenaed from Cindy Agidius, an employee in the office of Senator Mike 
        Crapo;
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 employees of the Senate 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; and
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 Cindy Agidius is authorized to testify in the case 
of State of Idaho v. Fredrick Leroy Leas, Sr., except concerning 
matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Cindy 
Agidius in connection with the testimony authorized in section one of 
this resolution.
