2 2. On or about October 25, 2005, I obtained a copy of a video tape, titled “:Video Game
3 Violence Sampler TRT: 5min.,” containing clips of various video games from Adam J. Keigwin
4 of Assembly Member Leland Yee’s office at the State Capitol. See Declaration of Adam
5 Keigwin, filed concurrently herewith. A true and correct copy of said tape is being lodged
6 herewith as Exhibit A.
7 3. Between the dates of November 3 through November 4, 2005, I personally traveled to
8 the Senate Judiciary Committee office, Assembly Judiciary Committee office, and the Assembly
9 Committee on Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism, and Internet Media office. I obtained the
10 committee files for AB 1179 and AB 450 from each individual office. I personally copied, or
11 caused to have copied in my presence, materials relevant to the present proceedings obtained
12 from the following files, true and correct copies of which are bates stamped and included in
13 Appendices A-C, as follows:
14 • Appendix A consists of material copied from the Assembly Judiciary Committee file
15 on AB 450;
16 • Appendix B consists of material copied from the Senate Judiciary Committee file on
17 AB 450;
18 • Appendix C consists of material copied from the Assembly Committee on Arts,
19 Entertainment, Sports, Tourism, and Internet Media file on AB 450.
20 4. The following materials had missing pages in the original legislative files, apparently
21 due to photocopying errors, likely due to the double sided originals copied. Therefore, copies of
22 these materials in their entirety are included in Appendix D, as follows:
23 • Assembly Judiciary Committee file on AB 450, Gentile, et al., The Effects of Violent
24 Video Game Habits on Adolescent Hostility, Aggressive Behaviors, and School
25 Performance, Journal of Adolescence 27 (2004) 5-22;
26 • Senate Judiciary Committee file on AB 450, Uhlmann & Swanson, Exposure to
27 Violent Video Games Increases Automatic Aggressiveness, Journal of Adolescence, 27
