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.
“PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE” mentioning Patrick J. Leahy was published in the Senate section on page S207 on Feb. 1.
Of the 100 senators in 117th Congress, 24 percent were women, and 76 percent were men, according to the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress.
Senators' salaries are historically higher than the median US income.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
The President pro tempore led the Pledge of Allegiance, as follows:
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Ms. Hirono). The Senator from Vermont.
Mr. LEAHY. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent to speak in morning business.
