The bill aims to address the Senate's amendment to H.R. 4366, a previous piece of legislation that has already passed through the House of Representatives.

The main purpose of Bill 118 HRES 1061 is to allow the House of Representatives to concur with the Senate's amendment to H.R. 4366, but with an additional amendment of its own. This process is known as "concurrence," where both chambers of Congress agree on the final version of a bill before it can be sent to the President for approval.

The specifics of the Senate's amendment to H.R. 4366 are not provided in the summary of Bill 118 HRES 1061. However, it is clear that the House of Representatives wishes to make further changes to the bill before it is finalized. This additional amendment proposed by the House is likely to reflect the priorities and concerns of its members. Overall, Bill 118 HRES 1061 is a procedural piece of legislation that seeks to reconcile the differences between the House and Senate versions of H.R. 4366. By allowing for concurrence with an amendment, the bill aims to ensure that the final version of the legislation is acceptable to both chambers of Congress before it can become law.
