Today, His Excellency, Mr. President, graced us with his presence at the Congress. At the onset, Speaker Stanisław Małachowski opened the session by acknowledging the unity displayed by the Representatives the day before, affirming their commitment to serve their country. He expressed gratitude to the President for supporting the nation's endeavors and emphasized the fervor with which the people of The Union seek to fulfill the President's vision and contribute to the welfare of their homeland. The Speaker also mentioned the trust placed in him as the Speaker of the Polish-Ukrainian House of Congress, a responsibility he vows to undertake with the support of his esteemed colleagues dedicated to the good of The Union.

The Lithuanian-Belarussian House of Congress Speaker, Prince Kazimierz Sapieha, then took the floor. He recalled the voluntary union between Poland-Ukraine and Lithuania-Belarus, stressing that despite the shared historical triumphs and tribulations, the spirit and integrity of the citizens remained unbroken. Sapieha commended the patriotism and resolve shown across the nation, highlighting the representative's responsibilities toward their constituents' aspirations for a prosperous future.

A series of affirmations followed, with the secretaries of the Congress and confederation taking their oaths. Prince Kazimierz Sapieha presented the designated secretary for the Lithuanian-Belarussian confederation, the Judge of Brest Lithuania, who likewise performed the oath. This was succeeded by the announcement of various Deputies appointed to certain key roles, such as Constitution drafters, examiners of the Permanent Council's activities, as well as members of the Military, Treasury, and National Education Commissions – representatives from both Houses of Congress and the Cabinet affirmed their commitment to their tasks.

The Speaker, Mr. Małachowski, then addressed the chamber, calling upon the newly elected Deputies to take their oaths in compliance with the law of 1776, specifically tailored for confederation times. Post ceremony, the Ministerial Cabinet approached the President. Senator Józef Sielicki of Płock, a newly sworn-in Deputy of the Treasury Commission, completed his oath.

Deputy Secretary Maciej Garnysz of the Polish-Ukrainian Cabinet finally adjourned the session until Monday at 11 AM, concluding a day rich with expressions of patriotism, allegiance, and commitment to The Union's well-being.

Given the gravity of today's session, it's clear that the representatives of The Union are fiercely determined to uphold their duties and work collaboratively for the enhancement of their country’s future. It was a show of profound unity and patriotism, reflecting the Representatives' and Senators' resolute dedication, true to their heritage and the shared destiny of Poland-Ukraine and Lithuania-Belarus.
