                               RESOLUTION


 
To authorize testimony, documents, and representation in United States 
                               v. Miller.

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.
                                 <all>
