                               RESOLUTION


 
     To authorize testimony and representation in United States v. 
                              Nformangum.

Whereas, in the case of United States v. Nformangum, Cr. No. 22-367, pending in 
        the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, the 
        prosecution has requested the production of testimony from Amy English, 
        Grant Murray, and Anthony Rodregous, employees of the Office of Senator 
        Ted Cruz;
Whereas, pursuant to sections 703(a) and 704(a)(2) of the Ethics in Government 
        Act of 1978, 2 U.S.C. Sec. Sec.  288b(a) and 288c(a)(2), the Senate may 
        direct its counsel to represent current and former officers and 
        employees of the Senate with respect to any subpoena, order, or request 
        for evidence relating to their official responsibilities;
Whereas, by the privileges of the Senate of the United States and Rule XI of the 
        Standing Rules of the Senate, no evidence under the control or in the 
        possession of the Senate may, by the judicial or administrative process, 
        be taken from such control or possession but by permission of the 
        Senate; and
Whereas, when it appears that evidence under the control or in the possession of 
        the Senate may promote the administration of justice, the Senate will 
        take such action as will promote the ends of justice consistent with the 
        privileges of the Senate: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That Amy English, Grant Murray, and Anthony Rodregous, 
employees in the Office of Senator Ted Cruz, are authorized to provide 
relevant testimony in the case of United States v. Nformangum, except 
concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
    Sec. 2.  The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Ms. 
English, Messrs. Murray, and Rodregous, and any current or former 
officer or employees of Senator Cruz's office, in connection with the 
production of evidence authorized in section one of this resolution.
                                 <all>
