§ 70. Costs of Deposition Borne By Government; When.

Whenever a deposition is taken at the instance of the

government, or whenever a deposition is taken at the instance of

a defendant who is unable to bear the expense of the taking of the

deposition, the court may direct that the expenses of travel and

subsistence of the defendant and his attorney for attendance at the

examination be tendered or paid by the government prior to the

taking of the deposition.

NOTE: Section 70.60 continues a portion of former Rule 15(c). Because

a deposition may now also be taken at the request of the government, §

70.60 makes clear that in these cases also, the defendant is entitled to the

expenses he incurs in attending the deposition.
