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.
“Honoring State Patrol Sergeant Jim Smith (Executive Calendar)” mentioning Chuck Grassley was published in the Senate section on page S1889 on April 13.
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.

Honoring State Patrol Sergeant Jim Smith
Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, a short tribute and then maybe about an 8- or 9-minute speech that I have.
Today, I want to pay tribute to Iowa State Patrol Sergeant Jim Smith, who courageously gave his life in the line of duty this past Friday.
Sergeant Smith, a 27-year Iowa State Patrol veteran and a tactical team leader, put himself in harm's way on behalf of his fellow Iowans last week, and it cost him everything.
Sergeant Smith is being remembered as a dedicated father, a loyal public servant, a man of God who left a positive impression on everybody he encountered.
I mourn for his family, fellow troopers, friends, and the entire Independence, IA, community at this tragic loss.
