 AUTHORIZING TESTIMONY, DOCUMENTS, AND REPRESENTATION IN STATE OF OHIO 
                               V. HUSTON

  Mr. KELLY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the Senate proceed 
to the immediate consideration of S. Res. 725, which was submitted 
earlier today.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 725) to authorize testimony, 
     documents, and representation in State of Ohio v. Huston.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill.
  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, this resolution concerns a request for 
evidence in a criminal action pending in Ohio State court. In this 
action, the defendant is charged with inducing panic and aggravated 
menacing at a Social Security office arising out of threatening 
statements he allegedly made in a telephone call with an employee in 
Senator Portman's Columbus, OH, office.
  Trial in this case is scheduled to commence on July 28, 2022, in Ohio 
State court. The prosecutor is seeking testimony at trial from Aidan 
Gavin, an employee in the Senator's office who received the call at 
issue. Senator Portman would like to cooperate with this request by 
providing relevant Senate employee testimony and, if necessary, 
documents.
  This resolution would authorize the production of relevant testimony 
and documents from Mr. Gavin, with representation by the Senate legal 
counsel.
  Mr. KELLY. I further ask that the resolution be agreed to, the 
preamble be agreed to, and the motions to reconsider be considered made 
and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The resolution (S. Res. 725) was agreed to.
  The preamble was agreed to.
  (The resolution, with its preamble, is printed in today's Record 
under ``Submitted Resolutions.'')
