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.
“LOOP FUNDING” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the Senate section on pages S15896 on Dec. 18, 2007.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
LOOP FUNDING
Ms. MIKULSKI. Mr. President, as chairwoman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and related agencies, I rise today to clarify for the U.S. Senate the sponsorship of a congressionally designated project included in the Joint Explanatory Statement to accompany the consolidated appropriations amendment to H.R. 2764. Specifically: Senator Levin should be listed as having requested funding for city of Grand Rapids, MI, for LOOP funded through the Department of Justice.
