ACTION OF CONGRESS.
Upon the assembly of the Fifty-seventh Congress in its first session
convened, President Roosevelt referred in touching terms to the
assassination of the late President McKinley. (Page 417.)
The Senate on December 3, 1901, adopted the following resolution:
_Resolved_, That a committee of eleven Senators be appointed on the
part of the Senate, to join such committee as may be appointed on the
part of the House, to consider and report on what token of respect and
affection it may be proper for the Congress of the United States to
express the deep sensibility of the nation to the tragic death of the
late President, William McKinley, and that so much of the message of
the President as relates to that deplorable event be referred to such
committee.
