OPINION
LATCHUM, District Judge.
This case is before the Court on the motion of plaintiff, Lee National Corporation (“Lee National”), for an order under Rule 37(a) to compel answers to certain questions posed during oral depositions of the defendant, Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc. (“Kansas City”), through its Board Chairman and President, William N. Deramus, III, and its Vice President, Irvine O. Hoekaday, Jr. Kansas City resists the Rule 37 motion on the ground that the proposed questions inquire into privileged matters protected by its attorney-client relationship.
