Sec. 1201.6  Procedure when testimony or production of documents is 

sought.



    (a) If Official Information is sought, either through testimony or 

otherwise, the party seeking such information must (except as otherwise 

required by federal law or authorized by the General Counsel) set forth 

in writing with as much specificity as possible, the nature and 

relevance of the Official Information sought. The party must identify 

the record or reasonably describe it in terms of date, format, subject 

matter, the offices originating or receiving the record, and the names 

of all persons to whom the record is known to relate. Corporation 

Employees may produce, disclose, release, comment upon, or testify 

concerning only those matters that were specified in writing and 

properly approved by the General Counsel. The General Counsel may waive 

this requirement in appropriate circumstances.

    (b) To the extent it deems necessary or appropriate, the Corporation 

may also require from the party seeking such testimony or documents a 

schedule of all reasonably foreseeable demands, including but not 

limited to the names of all current and former Corporation Employees 

from whom discovery will be sought, areas of inquiry, expected duration 

of proceedings requiring oral testimony, and identification of 

potentially relevant documents.

    (c) The General Counsel will notify the Corporation Employee and 

such other persons as circumstances may warrant of the decision 

regarding compliance with the request or demand.

    (d) The General Counsel will consult with the Department of Justice 

regarding legal representation for Corporation Employees in appropriate 

cases.
