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.
“Business Before the Senate (Executive Calendar)” mentioning Charles E. Schumer was published in the Senate section on page S5213 on July 30.
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:
Business Before the Senate
Mr. SCHUMER. Madam President, before I close the Senate, I want to inform the Senators where we are today.
First, I want to thank all of the Senators who voted to proceed today. The bipartisan group is still finalizing the text of their agreement, which will be the substitute amendment, with a nonpartisan legislative counsel.
Once they are finished--this is a big job--the text will be reviewed, and then I will immediately offer the text of the bipartisan infrastructure agreement as the substitute amendment, making it the base bill, as I have promised. As soon as the bipartisan group finalizes the text of the substitute amendment and it becomes the base bill, we can start voting on amendments and make further progress on the bill over this weekend.
The Senate will resume session tomorrow at 11 a.m.
This is a really important bill, and I know all the parties want to make sure it is done right.
