I think you mean R <AND> A would be just A, provided A is in R and they have the same heading. Whether or not A is in R, after the assignment, all propositions that A stands for and all propositions that R previously stood for are true, eg., if r1,r2,...,rn and a1,a2,...,an are the original propositions, r1 AND r2 AND ... a1 AND a2 is true as far as R is concerned. .
