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.
“EMERGENCY REPATRIATION ASSISTANCE FOR RETURNING AMERICANS ACT” mentioning Benjamin L. Cardin was published in the Senate section on page S6431 on Aug. 31.
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:

The VICE PRESIDENT. Is there objection?
Without objection, it is so ordered.
The bill (H.R. 5085), to amend section 1113 of the Social Security Act to provide authority for increased payments for temporary assistance to United States citizens returned from foreign countries, and for other purposes, was ordered to a third reading, was read the third time, and passed.
