Summary
This concurrent resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to correct the long title of bill S. 1071.

It also prescribes military personnel strengths for that fiscal year and addresses other related purposes.
The resolution itself does not enact any new laws or policies. It simply corrects a technical error in the bill's enrollment, ensuring the title accurately reflects the bill's content.
