                               RESOLUTION


 
To authorize testimony, document production, and representation by the 
     Senate Legal Counsel in the case of United States v. Kaminski.

Whereas, in the case of United States v. Kaminski No. 3:25-cr-199, pending in 
        the United States District Court for the Middle District of 
        Pennsylvania, the prosecution has requested the production of testimony 
        and documents from Ian Madigan, and employee of the office of former 
        Senator Robert P. Casey, Jr.;
Whereas, pursuant to sections 703(a) and 704(a)(1) 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 evidence 
        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 Ian Madigan, a former employee of the office of 
former Senator Casey, and any other former employee of the Senator's 
office from whom relevant evidence may be necessary, are authorized to 
provide testimony and documents in the case of United States v. 
Kaminski, except concerning matter for which a privilege or objection 
should be asserted.
    Sec. 2.  The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Mr. 
Madigan and any other former employee of Senator Casey's office in 
connection with the testimony authorized in section one of this 
resolution.
                                 <all>
