An original resolution authorizing expenditures by the Special Committee on Aging.

Senate Resolution 45 is a routine administrative measure that provides the necessary funding for the Senate Special Committee on Aging to operate during the 111th Congress. This funding allows the committee to conduct investigations and hold hearings on issues specifically affecting older Americans, such as retirement security, healthcare fraud, and long-term care. While the resolution does not create new laws, it ensures the committee has the resources to oversee federal programs like Medicare and Social Security and to advocate for the interests of the elderly population.
