An original resolution authorizing expenditures by the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.

Senate Resolution 43 is a routine administrative measure that authorizes the necessary funding for the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs to operate during the 111th Congress. This resolution provides the budget required for the committee to pay for staff salaries, official equipment, and administrative expenses through February 2011. By securing these funds, the committee is able to perform its practical duties for the public, such as conducting oversight of the financial sector, holding hearings on housing policy, and developing legislation that impacts national economic stability.
