     intends to enter into the deposition. No exhibits outside of 
     the Senate record shall be employed, except for articles and 
     materials in the press, including electronic media. Any party 
     may interrogate the witness as if the witness were declared 
     adverse.
       The deposition shall be videotaped and a transcript of the

     members to the Chief Justice whose presence is required to 
     assist the Chief Justice in presiding over the deposition, or 
     for other purposes, as determined by the Chief Justice. All 
     persons present must maintain the confidentiality of the 
     proceeding.
       The Chief Justice at the deposition shall file the 
     videotaped and transcribed records of the deposition with the 
     Secretary of the Senate, who shall maintain them as 
     confidential proceedings of the Senate. The Sergeant at Arms 
     is authorized to make available for review at secure 
     locations, any of the videotapes or transcribed deposition 
     records to Members of the Senate, one designated staff member 
     per Senator, and the Chief Justice. The Senate may direct the 
     Secretary of the Senate to distribute such materials, and to 
     use whichever means of dissemination, including printing as 
     Senate documents, printing in the Congressional Record, 
     photo- and video- duplication, and electronic dissemination, 
     he determines to be appropriate to accomplish any 
     distribution of the videotaped or transcribed deposition 
     records that he is directed to make pursuant to this 
     paragraph.
       The deposition authorized by this resolution shall be 
     deemed to be proceedings before the Senate for purposes of 
     rule XXIX of the Standing Rules of the Senate, sections 101, 
     102, and 104 of the Revised Statutes (2 U.S.C. 191, 192, and 
     194), sections 703, 705, and 707 of the Ethics in Government 
     Act of 1978 (2 U.S.C. 288b, 288d, and 288f), sections 6002 
     and 6005 of title 18, United States Code, and section 1365 of 
     title 28, United States Code. The Secretary of the Senate 
     shall arrange for stenographic assistance, including 
     videotaping, to record the depositions as provided in section 
     205. Such expenses as may be necessary shall be paid from the 
     ``Appropriation Account--Miscellaneous Items'' in the 
     contingent fund of the Senate upon vouchers approved by the 
     Secretary.
       The deposition authorized by this resolution may be 
     conducted for a period of time not to exceed 1 day. The 
     period of time for the subsequent testimony before the Senate 
     authorized by this resolution shall not exceed 1 day. The 
     deposition and the subsequent testimony before the Senate 
     shall both be completed not later than 5 days after the date
