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.
“INFRASTRUCTURE” mentioning Elizabeth Warren was published in the Senate section on pages S5227-S5228 on July 31.
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:
INFRASTRUCTURE
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, yesterday, a substantial bipartisan majority of Senators agreed to move forward with a debate on the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
Senators from the bipartisan group continue to finalize the text of the agreement. Once the bipartisan group completes the legislative text, I will offer it as a substitute amendment, making it the base of the bill on the floor. And then we can proceed to the consideration of additional amendments.
Look, I understand that writing the text of a bill of this size is a difficult project. I have been part of many such efforts in the past. But I urge the bipartisan group to finish their work so we can begin the amendment process here on the floor.
I have said for weeks that the Senate is going to move forward on both tracks of infrastructure before the beginning of the August recess. The longer it takes to finish, the longer we will be here. But we are going to get the job done.
I will update the Senate on the timing of the next vote as we move forward.
I yield the floor.
I suggest the absence of a quorum.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
Ms. WARREN. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Ms. Smith). Without objection, it is so ordered.
