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.
“CONGRATULATING DHWANI KHAREL ON BEING NAMED SOUTH DAKOTA'S 2021 TRUMAN SCHOLAR” mentioning Ron Johnson was published in the Extensions of Remarks section on page E428 on April 20.
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:
CONGRATULATING DHWANI KHAREL ON BEING NAMED SOUTH DAKOTA'S 2021 TRUMAN
SCHOLAR
______
HON. DUSTY JOHNSON
of south dakota
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, April 20, 2021
Mr. JOHNSON of South Dakota. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Dhwani Kharel on being named South Dakota's 2021 Truman Scholar.
The Truman Scholarship was established by Congress in 1975 as a living legacy to President Harry Truman to support and inspire the next generation of public service leaders. Dhwani was one of 62 Scholars selected from a record number of 845 applicants.
As a junior at Dartmouth College, Dhwani has already demonstrated a commitment to public service and leadership. She is actively involved in sexual violence prevention advocacy on Dartmouth's campus and has interned at both the Congressional Research Service and the Brookings Area United Way.
I commend Dhwani for her outstanding record of service, hard work, and leadership. I have no doubt she will excel in the future as she plans to pursue a career in the legal field to advance women's rights.
As a Truman Scholar myself, I am honored to congratulate Dhwani on this honor. I look forward to seeing all that she accomplishes.
