S. RES. 114
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 24, 2013
Mr. Reid (for himself
and Mr. McConnell) submitted the
following resolution; which was considered and agreed to
RESOLUTION
To authorize testimony, documents, and
representation in United States v. Renzi, et al.
Whereas, in the case of United States v. Renzi, et al.,
Case No. 08–212, pending in Arizona federal district court, the prosecution and
defense have requested the production of documents and employee testimony from
the offices of Senator John McCain and former Senator Jon Kyl;
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;
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
That the Office of Senator John
McCain and the former Office of Senator Jon Kyl are authorized to produce
relevant documents and employee testimony in the case of United States v.
Renzi, et al., except concerning matters for which a privilege should be
asserted.
2. The
Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent current and former employees of
the offices of Senators McCain and Kyl in connection with the production of
evidence authorized in section one of this resolution.
