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.
“PROJECTS SPONSORSHIP--S. 1745” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Commerce was published in the Senate section on pages S12281 on Sept. 27, 2007.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
