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.
“Remembering Madeleine A. Peters (Executive Session)” mentioning Gary C. Peters was published in the Senate section on page S4602 on June 17.
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:
Remembering Madeleine A. Peters
Madam President, very sadly, my colleague Gary Peters, who is the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, lost his mom this week, and he cannot be with us today. Normally, he would be here speaking on behalf of the nomination of Colonel Tien.
His mother, whom I know and personally and dearly--I have known her ever since Gary first joined us--she is a huge Detroit Tigers baseball fan, as am I. I had the pleasure of going with her to baseball games and considered her a kindred spirit.
I just want to, literally, as we think about Senator Peters and his family this morning--I just want to ask, maybe, for a moment of silence to remember her and the Peters family.
Thank you.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
(Moment of silence.)
