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.
“PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Commerce was published in the Senate section on pages S2335 on March 22, 2002.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that a fellow from the Commerce Department, Gabriel Adler, be given floor privileges for the remainder of this session of Congress.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
