A resolution authorizing expenditures by committees of the Senate for the periods March 1, 2009, through September 30, 2009, and October 1, 2009, through September 30, 2010, and October 1, 2010, through February 28, 2011.

Senate Resolution 73 is a routine administrative measure that provides the necessary funding for 18 different Senate committees to operate and conduct their official business. These funds cover the costs of committee activities, such as holding public hearings, conducting investigations, and drafting legislation, for the period between March 2009 and February 2011. By authorizing these expenditures, the resolution ensures that the Senate can continue its oversight of federal agencies and its work on policy issues ranging from agriculture and veterans' affairs to homeland security and the budget.
