Authorizing the Speaker to appoint a committee to notify the President of the assembly of the Congress.

HRES 3 is a routine procedural resolution authorizing the Speaker of the House to appoint a two-member committee. This committee would join a similar Senate committee to formally notify the President that both chambers have assembled in quorum and Congress is prepared to receive presidential communications. The bill affects no specific policy or population, as it only governs the initial procedural steps at the start of a congressional session. It does not create new laws or alter existing policies.
