To inform the Senate that a quorum of the House has assembled.
HRES 862 is a procedural resolution requiring the Clerk of the House to inform the Senate that a quorum of the House is present and ready to conduct business. This routine step ensures the Senate is notified when the House meets the required number of members (a quorum) to begin legislative activities. It serves as a standard communication protocol between the two chambers of Congress. The resolution has no substantive policy impact and affects only the internal procedural coordination of Congress.
