House — August 13, 2026
The Extensions of Remarks section focused heavily on district-level recognitions and civic commemorations. Members honored police, fire, military veterans, law enforcement retirees, local journalism, child care, career-technical education, small business, historic preservation, and public service leaders. Collectively, the day’s Record reflects a mix of early-stage legislative agenda-setting and the House’s traditional use of the Congressional Record to memorialize local institutions and constituents.
Senate — August 13, 2026
The Daily Digest confirmed that no Senate committee meetings or hearings were held, and none were scheduled for the next Senate meeting date. The Senate was set to reconvene at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, August 17, 2026, also for a pro forma session. Overall, the record reflects a minimal recess-period session designed to satisfy procedural requirements rather than advance substantive legislative business.
