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.
“Order of Business (Executive Session)” mentioning Brian Schatz was published in the Senate section on page S5923 on Aug. 5.
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:
Order of Business
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, now we have worked long, hard, and collaboratively to finish this important bipartisan bill.
The Senate has considered 22 amendments during this process, and we have been willing to consider many more. In fact, we have been trying to vote on amendments all day but have encountered numerous objections from the other side.
However, we very much want to finish this important bill, so we will reconvene Saturday at noon to vote on cloture, and then we will follow the regular order to finish the bill.
I yield the floor.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Arizona.
Ms. SINEMA. Mr. President, I rise in support of the majority leader's comments, and I want to commend my colleagues for the work we have done together in a bipartisan fashion over the last 4 days, considering and clearing 22 amendments as a body together in the Senate.
And while we were unable to agree on additional amendments today, I do also look forward to us reconvening together on Saturday and proceeding under regular order to finish what will be a historic piece of legislation both in its bipartisan nature and in the impact it will have on our country.
I suggest the absence of a quorum.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
The senior assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
Mr. SCHATZ. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Kelly). Without objection, it is so ordered.
