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.
“PRIVILEGES OF THE FLOOR” mentioning Susan M. Collins was published in the Senate section on page S963 on March 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:
PRIVILEGES OF THE FLOOR
Ms. COLLINS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that Peter Schunk, a defense fellow in my office, be granted floor privileges for the remainder of this Congress.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
