AUTHORIZATION OF TESTIMONY AND DOCUMENT PRODUCTION
Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate
now proceed to the immediate consideration of Senate Resolution 221
submitted earlier by Senators Lott and Daschle.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title.
The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:
A resolution (S. Res. 221) to authorize testimony and
document production in the matter of Pamela A. Carter v.
HealthSource Saginaw.
There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the
resolution.
Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, this resolution would permit a member of
Senator Levin's staff to testify and produce documents in an
administrative hearing before the Michigan Department of Consumer and
Industry Services concerning information she acquired while performing
case work on the Senator's behalf.
Mr. DOMENICI. I ask unanimous consent the resolution be agreed to,
the preamble be agreed to, the motion to reconsider be laid upon the
table, and any statements relating to the resolution be printed in the
Record.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
The resolution (S. Res. 221) was agreed to.
The preamble was agreed to.
The resolution, with its preamble, reads as follows:
S. Res. 221
Whereas, in the case of In the Matter of Pamela A. Carter
v. HealthSource Saginaw, No. 1199-3828, pending in the
Michigan Department of Consumer and Industry Services,
testimony has been requested from Mary Washington, an
employee in Senator Carl Levin's Saginaw, Michigan office;
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 administrative or 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 Mary Washington, and any other employee of
the Senate from whom testimony or document production may be
required, is authorized to testify and produce documents in
the case of In the Matter of Pamela A. Carter v. HealthSource
Saginaw, except concerning matters for which a privilege
should be asserted.
