The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 5 and H.R. 1319” mentioning Charles E. Schumer was published in the Senate section on page S996 on March 1.
Of the 100 senators in 117th Congress, 24 percent were women, and 76 percent were men, according to the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress.
Senators' salaries are historically higher than the median US income.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--H.R. 5 and H.R. 1319
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I understand that there are two bills at the desk, and I ask for their first reading en bloc.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the bills by title for the first time.
The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:
A bill (H.R. 5) to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation, and for other purposes.
A bill (H.R. 1319) to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of S. Con. Res. 5.
Mr. SCHUMER. I now ask for a second reading, and in order to place the bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I object to my own request, all en bloc.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The bills will receive their second reading on the next legislative day.
