RESOLUTIONS SUBMITTED TODAY
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the
Committee on the Judiciary be discharged from further consideration of
S. Res. 247 and the Senate proceed to the en bloc consideration of the
following Senate resolutions: S. Res. 247, S. Res. 277, S. Res. 278,
and S. Res. 279.
There being no objection, the committee was discharged of the
relevant resolution, and the Senate proceeded to consider the
resolutions en bloc.
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, in this criminal case 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 this case, brought against Alan Hostetter, trial is expected to
commence on July 6, 2023, 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's counting of the Electoral
College votes. Senate Secretary Berry would like to cooperate with this
request by providing relevant testimony in this trial from Mr.
Schwager.
In keeping with the rules and practices of the Senate, this
resolution would authorize the production of relevant testimony from
Mr. Schwager, with representation by the Senate legal counsel.
Mr. SCHUMER. I know of no further debate on the resolutions en bloc.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there further debate?
If not, the question is on adoption of the resolutions en bloc?
The resolutions were agreed to en bloc.
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the
preambles be agreed to and that the motions to reconsider be considered
made and laid upon the table, all en bloc.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
The preambles were agreed to.
