A resolution to authorize testimony and representation in United States v. Crouse.
SRES 609 authorizes three specific Senate employees - Ryan Alban (Senator Ted Budd's office), Lisa Gibbens (Senator Kevin Cramer's office), and Jill Wyman (Senator John Cornyn's office) - to testify in the federal criminal case *United States v. Crouse* (Cr. No. 23-393), excluding matters protected by Senate privileges. The resolution also directs the Senate Legal Counsel to represent these employees regarding their testimony in the case. This procedural resolution was adopted to comply with legal requirements and Senate rules governing testimony from Senate offices in federal court proceedings. It does not change laws or policies but addresses a court request for employee testimony related to official Senate duties.
