What this bill does
This Senate resolution, S.Res. 31, was introduced in 1997 by Senator John Warner. Its stated purpose, as indicated by its title, is to establish the members from the Senate who will serve on two joint committees: the Joint Committee on Printing and the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library. These committees are established by Congress to oversee specific functions related to government printing and the Library of Congress.
The resolution directly affects the Senate by appointing its representatives to these joint committees. The broader impact would be on the operations of the Joint Committee on Printing and the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library, as the newly appointed senators would participate in their decision-making and oversight activities. The resolution itself does not establish new programs or change existing laws, but rather fills specific membership roles.
This resolution is a simple resolution, which means it is used to express the sense of the Senate. It was agreed to by the Senate on January 30, 1997, without amendment and by unanimous consent. For a simple resolution, being agreed to by the originating chamber completes its legislative process.
