A resolution making minority party appointments for the 111th Congress.

Senate Resolution 19 established the official committee assignments for Republican members during the 111th Congress in 2009. By designating which senators served on specific committees—such as Finance, Appropriations, and Foreign Relations—the resolution determined who would lead the development of legislation and conduct oversight on behalf of the minority party. For citizens, this measure ensured the functional organization of the Senate, allowing the legislative body to begin its work with a clear structure for debating and voting on national policies.
