                      RESOLUTIONS SUBMITTED TODAY

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the en bloc consideration of the following Senate 
resolutions: S. Res. 548, S. Res. 549, S. Res. 550, S. Res. 551, and S. 
Res. 552.
  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
resolutions en bloc.
  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, this resolution concerns a request for 
evidence in a criminal action pending in State district court in 
Lansing, MI. In this case, 15 defendants are charged with multiple 
felony counts relating to a certificate of votes for President and Vice 
President submitted by an unofficial, alternate slate of electors from 
Michigan in connection with the 2020 Presidential election. The first 
preliminary hearing, which began in December 2023, is set to resume on 
February 13, 2024, with additional preliminary hearing and trial dates 
to be scheduled thereafter.
  The prosecution in this case has requested testimony from Daniel 
Schwager, formerly counsel to the Secretary of the Senate, concerning 
his knowledge and observations of how electoral ballots are received 
and processed in the Senate, and 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 at the preliminary hearings and trial from 
Mr. Schwager.
  In keeping with the rules and practices of the Senate, the enclosed 
resolution would authorize the production of relevant testimony from 
Mr. Schwager, with representation by the Senate legal counsel.
  Mr. SCHUMER. 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, all en bloc.
  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 
(legislative day of Wednesday, February 7, 2024) under ``Submitted 
Resolutions.'')
