 AUTHORIZING THE PRODUCTION OF RECORDS BY THE SECRETARY OF THE SENATE 
                    AND THE SENATE SERGEANT AT ARMS

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the immediate consideration of S. Res. 873, which was 
submitted earlier today.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 873) to authorize the production of 
     records by the Secretary of the Senate and the Senate 
     Sergeant at Arms.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
resolution.
  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, the Secretary of the Senate and the 
Senate Sergeant at Arms have received from the Department of Homeland 
Security subpoenas for personnel records of a Sergeant at Arms employee 
sought in connection with an administrative investigation.
  In keeping with the Senate's practice under its rules, this 
resolution would authorize the Secretary and the Sergeant at Arms to 
provide these personnel records to the Homeland Security Department for 
use in this matter.

                                                      U.S. Senate,


                               Office of Senate Legal Counsel,

                                                   Washington, DC.
     To: The Hon. Charles E. Schumer and The Hon. Mitch McConnell.

     Re: Production of records of the Secretary of the Senate and 
         the Senate Sergeant at Arms.
     Date: December 6, 2022.
       The Secretary of the Senate and the Senate Sergeant at Arms 
     have received from the Department of Homeland Security 
     subpoenas for personnel records of an employee of the 
     Sergeant at Arms. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services 
     is conducting an administrative investigation in an 
     immigration marriage fraud matter focusing on a third party 
     and has determined that the personnel records of a Senate 
     employee are needed for the proper adjudication of that 
     matter.
       Both the Secretary and the Sergeant at Arms would like to 
     cooperate with these

     records requests of the Homeland Security Department.
       In accordance with Senate Rule XI and the Senate's 
     practice, the accompanying resolution would provide the 
     Secretary and the Sergeant at Arms with authority to provide 
     these personnel records to the Homeland Security Department.
  Mr. SCHUMER. I further ask unanimous consent 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. 873) was agreed to.
  The preamble was agreed to.

under ``Submitted Resolutions.'')
