     SENATE RESOLUTION 318--TO AUTHORIZE DEPOSITION TESTIMONY AND 
REPRESENTATION IN CARE ONE MANAGEMENT LLC, ET AL. V. UNITED HEALTHCARE 
                    WORKERS EAST, SEIU 1199, ET AL.

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

                              S. Res. 318

       Whereas, in the case of Care One Management LLC, et al. v. 
     United Healthcare Workers East, SEIU 1199, et al., No. 2:12-
     cv-06371, pending in the United States District Court for the 
     District of New Jersey, testimony has been sought from Rachel 
     Pryor, a former employee in the office of Senator Richard 
     Blumenthal, relating to her official responsibilities;
       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 former employees of the Senate with respect to any 
     subpoena, order, or request for testimony relating to their 
     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; 
     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 Rachel Pryor, former employee in the Office 
     of Senator Richard Blumenthal, is authorized to testify in a 
     deposition in the case of Care One Management LLC, et al. v. 
     United Healthcare Workers East, SEIU 1199, et al., except 
     concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
       Sec. 2.  The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to 
     represent Ms. Pryor in connection with the testimony 
     authorized in section one of this resolution.
