resolutions: S. Res. 661, S. Res. 662, and S. Res. 663.
  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, this resolution concerns the criminal 
case pending in the United States District Court for the Southern 
District of New York against Senator Robert Menendez and co-defendants.

official Senate responsibilities.
