Volume 167, No. 131, covering the 1st Session of the 117th Congress (2021 – 2022), was published by the Congressional Record.
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.
“CONGRATULATING THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS” mentioning Sheldon Whitehouse was published in the Senate section on page S5111 on July 27.
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:
CONGRATULATING THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS
Mr. WHITEHOUSE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation be discharged from further consideration and the Senate now proceed to S. Res. 317.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title.
The legislative clerk read as follows:
A resolution (S. Res. 317) congratulating the Milwaukee Bucks, and the fans of the Milwaukee Bucks around the world, on winning the 2021 National Basketball Association championship.
There being no objection, the committee was discharged and the Senate proceeded to consider the resolution.
Mr. WHITEHOUSE. I was going to say “reserving the right to object,” but I won’t go there.
I ask unanimous consent that the resolution be agreed to, the preamble be agreed to, and that the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
The resolution (S. Res. 317) was agreed to.
The preamble was agreed to.
(The resolution, with its preamble, is printed in the Record of July 22, 2021, under “Submitted Resolutions.”)
