set forth:
    (1) The name and address of the witness;
    (2) The title of the matter to be heard, i.e., names of parties;
    (3) The issue to which the testimony of the witness will be 
directed;
    (4) The substance of the testimony which such witness is expected to 
give or the facts to which such witness will testify; and
    (5) The specific books, papers or documents which are requested, if 
a subpoena duces tecum is applied for.
    (b) In addition to the above, the party filing such application 
shall, at the time of filing, deposit therewith a sum of money 
sufficient to cover the fees and transportation allowance of the 
witness, or, in lieu thereof, shall state in the application that 
satisfactory arrangements have been made with the witness for the direct 
payment of his or her fees and transportation allowance and any other 
allowable expense.
