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.
“RESIGNATION FROM THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES” mentioning the U.S. Dept of State was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H8085-H8086 on Oct. 1, 2019.
The State Department is responsibly for international relations with a budget of more than $50 billion. Tenure at the State Dept. is increasingly tenuous and it's seen as an extension of the President's will, ambitions and flaws.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
