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.
“ORDER OF PROCEDURE” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the Senate section on pages S10936 on Sept. 19, 1996.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
ORDER OF PROCEDURE
Mr. EXON. Mr. President, before I yield the floor, I will simply advise the Senate that we were ready to take up a bill that came out of the Justice Department, and I think through misunderstanding it was temporarily delayed. I simply say that the previous matter before the Senate that was temporarily set aside has now been cleared for action--
the pipeline safety bill, with amendments. As the manager on this side on that bill, I am prepared to move ahead, if that is the will of the majority.
I thank the Chair.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair in his capacity as a Senator from Missouri suggests the absence of a quorum.
The clerk will call the roll.
The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
Mr. EXON. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
