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.
“THE COTE D'IVOIRE” mentioning the U.S. Dept of State was published in the Senate section on pages S2064-S2065 on April 4, 2011.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
THE COTE D'IVOIRE
Mr. INHOFE. Mr. President I am going to come back at 4 o'clock today because there is something going on. With all the people talking about the atrocities in Libya and throughout the Middle East, there is one more atrocity that is taking place right now in a country called Cote D'Ivoire in West Africa. I want to make sure I get on record in that I believe our State Department is wrong in the position they have taken. I think we can right now avert a real tragedy, something maybe comparable to what happened in 1994 in Rwanda with that genocide. I want to come back and talk about that, but I am going to do that sometime around 4 o'clock this afternoon.
