“a Federal grand jury in Nevada has indicated an individual on four counts of mailing a threaten communication and one count of transmitting a threatening communication in interstate commerce for a series of threats to kill public officials and others in written communications sent last year to the offices of Senators Patrick J. Leahy and Orrin G. Hatch, among others. The U.S. attorney has issued subpoenas for testimony at trial by employees on the staffs of Senators Leahy and Hatch who received the communications and an employee on Senator Harry Reid's staff who had contact with the defendant. The testimony is necessary to establish the receipt of the threatening communications in Washington, DC. This resolution would authorize the Senate employees to testify and produce documents in this case with representation by the Senate Legal Counsel.”
