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.
