     SENATE RESOLUTION 614--TO AUTHORIZE TESTIMONY, DOCUMENTS, AND 
               REPRESENTATION IN UNITED STATES V. MILLER

  Mr. SCHUMER (for himself and Mr. McConnell) submitted the following 
resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                              S. Res. 614

       Whereas, in the case of United States v. Miller, No. 2:23-
     cr-00221, pending in the United States District Court for the 
     District of Nevada, the prosecution has requested the 
     production of documents from the offices of Senators Jacky 
     Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto and also has requested 
     testimony from employees in those offices;
       Whereas, pursuant to sections 703(a) and 704(a)(2) of the 
     Ethics in Government Act of 1978, 2 U.S.C. Sec. Sec. 288b(a) 
     and 288c(a)(2), the Senate may direct its counsel to 
     represent current and former employees of the Senate with 
     respect to any subpoena, order, or request for testimony or 
     documents relating to their official responsibilities;
       Whereas, by the privileges of the Senate of the United 
     States and Rule XI of the Standing Rules of the Senate, no 
     evidence under the control or in the possession of the Senate 
     may, by the judicial or administrative process, be taken from 
     such control or possession but by permission of the Senate; 
     and
       Whereas, when it appears that evidence under the control or 
     in the possession of the Senate may promote the 
     administration of justice, the Senate will take such action 
     as will promote the ends of justice consistent with the 
     privileges of the Senate: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the office of Senator Jacky Rosen is 
     authorized to produce documents and that Dara Cohen, John 
     Fossum, and Carlos Lara, employees in that office, are 
     authorized to testify in the case of United States v. Miller, 
     except concerning matters for which a privilege should be 
     asserted.
       Sec. 2.  That the office of Senator Catherine Cortez Masto 
     is authorized to produce documents and that employees of that 
     office

     from whom relevant evidence may be needed are authorized to 
     testify in the case of United States v. Miller, except 
     concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
       Sec. 3.  The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to 
     represent the employees of Senator Rosen's and Senator Cortez 
     Masto's offices in connection with the production of evidence 
     and testimony authorized in sections one and two of this 
     resolution.
