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.
“PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR” mentioning the U.S. Dept of State was published in the Senate section on pages S4509 on May 16, 2002.
The publication is reproduced in full below:

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
