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.
“PRIVILEGES OF THE FLOOR” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the Senate section on pages S826 on Feb. 1, 2005.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
