Mr. Reid (for himself and Mr. McConnell) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to

RESOLUTION

To authorize testimony in Kanelos v. County of Mohave, et al. and Zanna, et al. v. Mohave County, et al.

Whereas, in the cases of Kanelos v. County of Mohave, et al., Civ. No. 10–8099 (D. Ariz.) and Zanna, et al. v. Mohave County, et al., Civ. No. 10–8149 (D. Ariz.), pending in federal district court in Arizona, the defendants have requested that a declaration be submitted by Gina Gormley, an employee of Senator John McCain;

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 consistent with the privileges of the Senate: Now, therefore, be it

That Gina Gormley is authorized to testify in the cases of Kanelos v. County of Mohave, et al. and Zanna, et al. v. Mohave County et al., except concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
