Summary of Bill HRES 36
Bill 119 H.Res. 36, also known as the Finding Federal Savings Committee Resolution, is a proposed piece of legislation in the United States Congress.

The committee would be composed of members from both the House of Representatives and the Senate, with equal representation from both political parties. The committee would be tasked with conducting thorough reviews of federal programs and agencies to identify areas where savings could be achieved through streamlining operations, eliminating waste, and reducing duplication of services.
Once the committee has identified potential cost savings, they would be required to submit recommendations to Congress for consideration. These recommendations could include consolidating programs, reducing administrative costs, or implementing new technologies to improve efficiency. Overall, the goal of Bill 119 H.Res. 36 is to promote fiscal responsibility and ensure that taxpayer dollars are being used effectively and efficiently. By establishing a committee dedicated to finding federal savings, Congress hopes to identify opportunities for cost savings and improve the overall effectiveness of federal programs and agencies.
