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.
“PRIVILEGES OF THE FLOOR” mentioning the U.S. Dept of State was published in the Senate section on pages S7388 on Nov. 10, 2011.
The publication is reproduced in full below:

Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that Caroline Tess, a State Department detailee in my office, be granted the privilege of the floor for the remainder of this Congress.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
