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.
“SPECIAL ENVOY TO MONITOR AND COMBAT ANTI-SEMITISM ACT” mentioning the U.S. Dept of State was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H504-H505 on Jan. 11, 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:
