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.
“PROGRAM” mentioning the U.S. Dept of State was published in the Senate section on pages S6898 on June 22, 2009.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
PROGRAM
Mr. MERKLEY. Madam President, tomorrow we will work on an agreement to consider the Legislative Branch appropriations bill. If we are able to reach an agreement, we could have votes in relation to the bill.
Earlier today, the majority leader filed cloture on the nomination of Harold Koh to be legal adviser of the State Department. If we are unable to reach an agreement to consider the nomination, that cloture vote would occur Wednesday morning.
