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.
“SENATE RESOLUTION 197--EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR THE DESIGNATION OF MAY 1, 2021, AS ``SILVER STAR SERVICE BANNER DAY''” mentioning Roy Blunt was published in the Senate section on page S2368 on April 29.
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:
