A chamber messenger told the Senate, "I am directed by the house to inform the senate that the house is taking a call," and, pursuant to a previously adopted motion, the Senate stood adjourned until 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 21.

The announcement came after the presiding officer called the Senate to order and asked that the messenger be admitted. The messenger read the House message verbatim and then the clerk announced the adjournment time, referencing a "previously adopted motion." No votes or other formal actions were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.

The transcript does not identify the messenger or any other speaker by personal name, and it does not specify the year for the Aug. 21 date. The Senate is scheduled to reconvene at the time stated in the announcement.
