          AUTHORIZING DEPOSITION TESTIMONY AND REPRESENTATION

  Ms. COLLINS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the consideration of S. Res. 318, submitted earlier today.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 318) to authorize deposition 
     testimony and representation in Care One Management LLC, et 
     al. v. United Healthcare Workers East, SEIU 1199, et al.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
resolution.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, this resolution concerns testimony by a 
former Senate employee in an ongoing civil action pending in New Jersey 
Federal district court. The case arises out of a labor dispute between 
a company that owns and manages five assisted-living facilities and the 
union that represents the employees at those facilities.
  Previously, Senator Blumenthal's office has provided information in 
this matter, with Senate authorization. In response to a further 
request from Plaintiffs, Senator Blumenthal is making available a 
former employee for a limited, additional deposition.
  This resolution authorizes that former employee to testify in a 
deposition, and also authorizes the Senate Legal Counsel to represent 
the former employee in this matter.
  Ms. COLLINS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
resolution be agreed to, the preamble be agreed to, and the motions to 
reconsider be laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The resolution (S. Res. 318) was agreed to.
  The preamble was agreed to.
  (The resolution, with its preamble, is printed in today's Record 
under ``Submitted Resolutions.'')
