Words like state and say take two similar but not identical structures as their object:
They can take a quoted string, the words uttered: He said "I won't go". This is sometimes called "direct speech".
Or they can take a clause introduced by that. This is "reported speech", and pronouns are substituted, and the verb are backshifted: He said that he wouldn't go.
That can often be omitted in reported speech; but it can never be inserted in direct speech.
