                               RESOLUTION


 
    To express the sense of the Senate in support of permitting the 
                televising of Supreme Court proceedings.

    Resolved,

SECTION 1. SENSE OF THE SENATE.

    It is the sense of the Senate that the Supreme Court should permit 
live television coverage of all open sessions of the Court unless the 
Court decides, by a vote of the majority of justices, that allowing 
such coverage in a particular case would constitute a violation of the 
due process rights of 1 or more of the parties before the Court.
