“SENATE RESOLUTION 320--TO AUTHORIZE TESTIMONY BY SENATE EMPLOYEE IN STATE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING” mentioning the U.S. Dept of Labor was published in the Senate section on pages S4924 on June 9, 2000.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
SENATE RESOLUTION 320--TO AUTHORIZE TESTIMONY BY SENATE EMPLOYEE IN
STATE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING
Mr. LOTT (for himself and Mr. Daschle) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to:
S. Res. 320
Whereas, in the Inquiry Relative to the Claim for Benefits of Yolanda Nock, pending before the Department of Labor, in the County of Sussex, State of Delaware, a subpoena for testimony has been issued to Elinor Hughes, an employee of the Senate on the staff of Senator William V. Roth, Jr.;
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 Elinor Hughes is authorized to testify in the Inquiry Relative to the Claim for Benefits of Yolanda Nock, except concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
