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.
“JOHN LEWIS NIMHD RESEARCH ENDOWMENT REVITALIZATION ACT OF 2021” mentioning Charles E. Schumer was published in the Senate section on pages S1434-S1435 on March 10.
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:
