State Department

Book 66 identifies the State Department managing diplomatic fallout from a character's actions abroad; nearby context says the incident occurred in a country friendly to America and that the character returned to America. Book 79 situates the speaker in Washington and describes a waiver for bringing weapons into the United States. Both passages refer to the U.S. Department of State, not the State Department building/place.

No merge by spelling was applied across distinct controlled types.
