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.
“INVEST IN AMERICA ACT” mentioning Mark R. Warner was published in the Senate section on page S5240 on Aug. 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:
INVEST IN AMERICA ACT
Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I want to thank the majority leader and all of my colleagues. I want to mention two other things briefly.
No. 1, Senator Tester, who has been intimately involved in this effort, could not be here with us to tonight, but he was with us all day and has been up with us for weeks and weeks.
I do think it is really important--the base bill that we will be negotiating will be the EPW bill. That committee is chaired by Tom Carper from Delaware. He has a lifetime record, from the House to his time as Governor, to his time in the Senate, of always working in a bipartisan fashion. He has spent literally decades on infrastructure. He will be carrying the ball for the majority on this. We support him, and we commend him, and we wouldn't be here if he hadn't put together the kind of base bill that we were then able to build upon.
With that, I yield the floor.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Utah.
Mr. LEE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to speak for the duration of my remarks, not to be limited by 10 minutes.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
