                               RESOLUTION


 
    To authorize testimony and representation in Kuwait & Gulf Link 
    Transport Co., et al. v. John Doe, et al. (Ct. of Common Pleas, 
                        Cumberland County, Pa.).

Whereas, in the case of Kuwait & Gulf Link Transport Co., et al. v. John Doe, et 
        al., Case No. 2012-1820-CIVIL TERM, pending in the Court of Common Pleas 
        for Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, deposition testimony has been 
        subpoenaed from Richard Goldberg, a former employee in the office of 
        Senator Mark Kirk, relating to his 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;
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 current and former employees of the 
        Senate with respect to any subpoena, order, or request for testimony 
        relating to their official responsibilities; 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 consistent with the 
        privileges of the Senate: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That Richard Goldberg is authorized to testify in the 
case of Kuwait & Gulf Link Transport Co., et al. v. John Doe, et al., 
except concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2.  The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent 
Richard Goldberg in connection with the testimony authorized in section 
one of this resolution.
