                      RESOLUTIONS SUBMITTED TODAY

  Mr. WHITEHOUSE. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
Senate proceed to the en bloc consideration of the following 
resolutions, introduced earlier today: S. Res. 176, S. Res. 177, and S. 
Res. 178.
  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
resolutions.


                      S. Res. 177 and S. Res. 178

  Mr. SCHUMER. Madam President, in two criminal cases pending in 
Federal district court in the District of Columbia and arising out of 
the events of January 6, 2021, the prosecution has requested testimony 
from a Senate witness.
  In these cases, brought against Leo Christopher Kelly and Rachel 
Powell, respectively, trials are expected to commence in early May, and 
the prosecution has requested testimony from Daniel Schwager, formerly 
counsel to the Secretary of the Senate, concerning his knowledge and 
observations of the process and constitutional and legal bases for 
Congress' counting of the Electoral College votes. The prosecution in 
the Kelly case has additionally requested Mr. Schwager's testimony 
regarding certain property destruction that occurred on January 6, 
2021. Senate Secretary Berry would like to cooperate with these 
requests by providing relevant testimony in these trials from Mr. 
Schwager.
  In keeping with the rules and practices of the Senate, these 
resolutions would authorize the production of relevant testimony from 
Mr. Schwager, with representation by the Senate legal Counsel.
  Mr. WHITEHOUSE. I ask unanimous consent that the resolutions be 
agreed to, the preambles 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 resolutions were agreed to.
  The preambles were agreed to.
  (The resolutions, with their preambles, are printed in today's Record 
under ``Submitted Resolutions.'')
