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.
“PROJECT SPONSORSHIP CORRECTION” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the Senate section on pages S7065 on June 25, 2009.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
PROJECT SPONSORSHIP CORRECTION
Ms. MIKULSKI. Mr. President, as Chairwoman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, science, and Related Agencies, I rise today to clarify for the record the sponsorship of a congressionally-designated project included in the explanatory statement accompanying H.R. 1105, the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009, Public Law 111-8.
Specifically: Senator Feinstein should not be listed as a cosponsor of the San Francisco district attorney ``Back on Track'' Byrne discretionary grant through the Department of Justice, since she did not request this funding. Senator Feinstein's name was added as a cosponsor of this project through a clerical error.
