Impatient Senators Target Borders, Anthem
WASHINGTON, May. 10, 2006
(AP(…)
The Senate approved a resolution late Monday evening stating that the national anthem, the Pledge of Allegiance, the oath recited by immigrants when they are sworn in as citizens and other songs or statements symbolizing national unity should be spoken or sung in English.
(…)
It was (…) revealed (that) the State Department's own Web site has four versions of the national anthem in Spanish as well as translations of the Constitution and other national symbols.

I don't see why it's relevant that the website has different languages. My company website offers various languages as well for foreigners, not English speaking citizens, tourists, or whoever to be able to read the site. But we speak English at every single one of our facilities. Presenting something for informational purposes makes complete sense. I'm glad the senate added this requirement.
