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.
“URGING ESTABLISHMENT OF U.S. CONSULATE IN KURDISTAN REGION OF IRAQ” mentioning the U.S. Dept of State was published in the Extensions of Remarks section on pages E900 on May 20, 2010.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
URGING ESTABLISHMENT OF U.S. CONSULATE IN KURDISTAN REGION OF IRAQ
______
speech of
HON. DANA ROHRABACHER
of california
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, May 19, 2010
Mr. ROHRABACHER. Madam Speaker, I rise to discuss an omission of a co-sponsor from my resolution, H. Res. 873, which passed the House by voice vote yesterday. The resolution calls for the Department of State to establish a U.S. Consulate in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq in order to normalize United States-Iraq relations at the diplomatic, commercial, and cultural levels as the U.S. Armed Forces redeploys from Iraq. The Honorable Tom Latham, from Iowa's 5th District, requested to be a co-sponsor on the aforementioned resolution. However, by an error on our part his name was omitted on the list we submitted. To this end, I request that the Record reflect he should have also been listed as a co-sponsor.
