In the opening remarks of today's session, Mr. Stanisław Małachowski, Speaker of the Polish-Ukrainian Confederation, announced that the Secretary of Foreign Affairs would deliver reports to the Congress. Following this, the Speaker would present a much-awaited proposal for action.

After a brief recess, Mr. Joachim Chreptowicz, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, gave an update on international affairs, while Prince Adam Czartoryski, Representative of Lublin, detailed his negotiation efforts undertaken in Dresden on behalf of The Union.

Upon the return of everyone to the congressional chamber, Speaker Małachowski introduced a proposal titled "Readiness for the Defense of The Union," divided into several points. After it was read by Mr. Jan Łuszczewski, Congressional Secretary, and following brief discussions, the Congress adopted the proposal into law, which, in summary, stated:

The best defense of a free nation is the sacred virtue and strength within itself. Emphasizing our united offense in protecting our freedoms and independence, we declare solemnly before GOD and all nations that we do not intend to start hostilities; we solely focus on preserving our country's territorial integrity and the upkeep of our government, which is devoted to the public's will and protects every citizen's life and property.

The key resolutions included:

• The President, to whom executive power is vested, should utilize the military for national defense as efficiently as possible.
• The President is recommended to recruit one to three experienced generals from foreign nations and appoint them to high-ranking positions in The Union's military.
• The bicameral Finance Commission is instructed to negotiate a loan of up to Thirty Million Polish Gold, guaranteeing the credit with the funds generated from the sale of certain public offices.
• The President is authorized to allocate Nine Million from the treasury for national defense preparations, under strict accountability measures.
• Ministers in charge of finances are required to report to Congress within two months, presenting a detailed account of expenditures.

The act then mandated that all members of The Cabinet communicate this law internationally.

Mr. Józef Weyssenhoff, Representative of Gushland County, proposed expressing gratitude to Prince Adam Czartoryski for his diplomatic endeavors in Dresden, which was unanimously agreed upon. Furthermore, Mr. Stanisław Sołtyk, Representative of Krakow, suggested the dismissal of Mr. Skórkowski as Secretary of Dresden Negotiations, while Mr. Tadeusz Korsak, Representative of Vilnius, put forward a motion to cancel the financial burdens imposed by Mr. Paszkiewicz's predecessors. Both motions were unanimously adopted.
