resolutions, which were submitted earlier today: S. Res. 514, S. Res. 
515, and S. Res. 516.

and documents in a criminal misdemeanor action pending in South Central 
Judicial District Court in Bismarck, ND. In this action, the defendant 
is charged with menacing and simple assault of a staffer in Senator 
Heidi Heitkamp's Bismarck, ND, office. A trial is scheduled for August 
26, 2014.
  The prosecution has requested the production of testimony from both 
the staffer at issue and another Heitkamp staffer who witnessed the 
event. The prosecution also seeks production of a video recording from 
a security camera in the Senator's office that captured the event. 
Senator Heitkamp would like to cooperate by providing such relevant 
evidence. The resolution would authorize those two staffers, and any 
other current or former employee of the Senator's office from whom 
relevant evidence may be necessary, to testify and produce documents in 
this action, with representation by the Senate legal counsel.
  Mr. CASEY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
resolutions be agreed to, the preambles be agreed to, and the motions 
to reconsider be laid upon the table en bloc, with no intervening 
action or debate.
  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 
under ``Submitted Resolutions.'')
