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.
“REPORTS OF COMMITTEES ON PUBLIC BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS” mentioning the U.S. Dept of State was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H3082 on July 13, 2020.
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:
