 SENATE RESOLUTION 282--TO AUTHORIZE TESTIMONY IN KANELOS V. COUNTY OF 
       MOHAVE, ET AL. AND ZANNA, ET AL. V. MOHAVE COUNTY, ET AL.

  Mr. REID of Nevada (for himself and Mr. McConnell) submitted the 
following resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                              S. Res. 282

       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
       Resolved, 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.
