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.
“MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 461 AND S.J. RES. 9” mentioning Catherine Cortez Masto was published in the Senate section on page S902 on Feb. 25.
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:
MEASURES READ THE FIRST TIME--S. 461 AND S.J. RES. 9
Ms. CORTEZ MASTO. Mr. President, I understand that there are two measures at the desk, and I ask for their first reading en bloc.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will read the measures by title for the first time en bloc.
The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:
A bill (S. 461) to create a point of order against legislation modifying the number of Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States.
A joint resolution (S.J. Res. 9) proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require that the Supreme Court of the United States be composed of nine justices.
Ms. CORTEZ MASTO. Mr. President, I now ask for a second reading, and I object to my own request, all en bloc.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard.
The measures will be read for the second time on the next legislative day.
