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.
“UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--CONFERENCE REPORT ACCOMPANYING H.R. 1561” mentioning the U.S. Dept of State was published in the Senate section on pages S3033 on March 27, 1996.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
