At the request of the USAO, re-cording shall also be taken by videotape. Regardless of the type of equipment used, it is mandatory that there be an accurate read back capability and that a back-up system be utilized. It is also mandatory that tape record-ing devices shall have a separate monitor head which shall allow the reporter to monitor the recorded tape.

• The operating personnel shall provide to the USAO, prior to the commencement of each proceeding, a certification that the equipment is turned on and operating.

• The recording equipment utilized shall provide for the instant playback of testimony.

• The equipment shall be capable of recording as many as twenty-three grand jurors together in one room with the prosecutor and the witness.

• The system utilized shall have a back-up system to allow continuous recording of speakers. The

Grand Jury hearings shall not be stopped for any reason such as the changing of a tape.

• The tapes shall be of such quality that there shall be no instances of inaudibility because of accents or words used by the speakers.

• The system shall be portable to allow for transportation of tapes to another location when an immedi-ate decision is required by a Federal District Court Judge.
