A resolution relating to expenditures for official office expenses.
Summary
Senate Resolution 176 would allow U.S. Senators to use their official office budgets to purchase and distribute two specific educational books for children: "A Young Person's Guide to the United States Capitol" and "Exploring Capitol Hill: A Kid's Guide to the U.S. Capitol and Congress." The resolution also classifies these books as official federal publications, which permits Senators to mail them to constituents for free using their official mailing privileges. If passed, this measure would make it easier for congressional offices to provide these educational materials about the history and function of the Capitol to students and young visitors.
