Ct. 608 (1983) ("The power to compel testimony is limited by the Fifth Amendment, and . . . any grant of immunity must be coextensive with the privilege."); see also U.S. v. Apfelbaum, 445 U.S. 115, 123, 126, 63 L. Ed. 2d 250, 100 S. Ct. 948 (1980) (While use immunity must be confined to the scope required by the Fifth Amendment, "perjury prosecutions are permissible for false answers to questions following the grant of immunity.").
