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 S16635 on Nov. 2, 1995.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
PROGRAM
Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, the Senate will be in a period of morning business until 1 p.m. At 1 p.m. the Senate could turn to any legislative item cleared for action. Therefore, votes are a possibility.
Also, Senators should be reminded that the majority leader has announced that the Senate will adjourn for the Thanksgiving holiday at the close of business on Friday, November 17, to reconvene on Monday, November 27.
This coming Monday, it is hopeful that the Senate will be able to turn to the State Department reorganization bill, which has a previous consent of 4 hours. However, no votes will occur on Monday.
Mr. President, let me indicate that I know there are a number of matters that will be coming out of committee in the next few days. It may be that there will be an opportunity to proceed to some minor--I should not say minor, they are very important pieces of legislation, but are those which have no opposition or real problems from either side. We would like to dispose of some of those bills in the next 2 weeks.
