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.
“SENATE BILLS AND A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REFERRED” mentioning the U.S. Dept of Agriculture was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H7486 on Aug. 2, 2019.

Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, said the Department implements too many regulations and restrictions and impedes the economy.
