A resolution to authorize testimony and representation in United States v. Baez.
This resolution authorizes former Senate employee Daniel Schwager to provide testimony in the federal case *United States v. Baez* (criminal case No. 21-507 in the District of Columbia) and directs the Senate Legal Counsel to represent him regarding evidence production. It is based on Senate privileges under Rule XI and the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, which allow the Senate to protect its employees' official responsibilities. Testimony is permitted except for matters where Senate privileges (such as confidential communications) would apply. This is a procedural resolution addressing a specific legal request, not a policy change.
