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.
“PUBLIC BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS” mentioning the U.S. Dept of State was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H1664 on April 27, 2001.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
