A resolution informing the House of Representatives that a quorum of the Senate is assembled.

This resolution serves a fundamental procedural purpose at the commencement of a new congressional session. It formally directs the Secretary of the Senate to communicate with the House of Representatives.

The core message conveyed is that a quorum of the Senate is assembled, meaning a sufficient number of senators are present to conduct official business. Furthermore, the resolution declares that the Senate is ready to proceed to business, signaling its preparedness to begin legislative activities. This action is a traditional step to ensure both chambers are aware of each other's operational status.
