The Senate Executive Calendar identifies executive resolutions, treaties, and nominations awaiting floor acton.  


Schedules, which differ from calendars, indicate what the House and Senate intend to discuss on a particular day.


These calendars list the days the Senate met for each session of Congress.


The Senate and House of Representatives first met in New York City's Federal Hall in March 1789.  Since that time, they have occupied numerous meeting places and quarters.
