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. 896, S. Res. 897, S. Res. 898, S. Res. 899, and S.
Res. 900.
There being no objection, 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 Stephanie Baez, trial is expected to
commence on December 3, 2024, 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,
including use of the electoral ballots and other documents during the
proceeding, 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 ask unanimous consent that the resolutions be agreed
to, the preambles agreed to, and the motions to reconsider be
considered made and laid upon the table.
