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.
“DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AND EDUCATION, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1998” mentioning the U.S. Dept of Labor was published in the Senate section on pages S8643 on Sept. 2, 1997.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AND EDUCATION, AND
RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1998
The Senate continued with the consideration of the bill.
Mr. SPECTER. Madam President, we are currently on the legislation of the appropriation bill for the Department of Labor, Health, Human Services, and Education. I, again, repeat the earlier request that anyone who has an amendment to offer, come and do so at this time. There is plenty of time available right now. Earlier the majority leader had been on the floor, and Senator Harkin and I and Senator Lott, our majority leader, had discussed the timing. It was our hope that we might complete action on this bill by tomorrow evening. We request that anybody who has amendments to file do so by the close of business today or, in any event, not later than noon tomorrow. We have a vote scheduled for 9:30 tomorrow morning. It is the practice that Senators will be present at that time to vote, so we can move ahead if there are amendments to be considered on this bill.
