    TITLE I--ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE

SEC. 101. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON IMPORTANCE OF DEPARTMENT OF STATE'S 
              WORK.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) United States global engagement is key to a stable and 
        prosperous world;
            (2) United States leadership is indispensable in light of 
        the many complex and interconnected threats facing the United 
        States and the world;
            (3) diplomacy and development are critical tools of 
        national power and full deployment of these tools is vital to 
        United States national security;
            (4) challenges such as the global refugee and migration 
        crises, terrorism, historic famine and food insecurity, and 
        fragile or repressive societies cannot be addressed without 
        sustained and robust United States diplomatic and development 
        leadership;
            (5) the United States Government must use all of the 
        instruments of national security and foreign policy at our 
        disposal to protect United States citizens, promote United 
        States interests and values, and support global stability and 
        prosperity;
            (6) United States security and prosperity depend on having 
        partners and allies who share our interests and values, and 
        these partnerships are nurtured and our shared interests and 
        values are promoted through United States diplomatic 
        engagement, security cooperation, economic statecraft, and 
        assistance that helps further economic development, good 
        governance, including the rule of law and democratic 
        institutions, and the development of shared responses to 
        natural and humanitarian disasters;
            (7) as the United States Government agencies primarily 
        charged with conducting diplomacy and development, the 
        Department and the United States Agency for International 
        Development (USAID) require sustained and robust funding to 
        carry out this important work, which is essential to our 
        ability to project United States leadership and values and to 
        advance the United States interests around the world;
            (8) the work of the Department and USAID makes the United 
        States and the world safer and more prosperous by alleviating 
        global poverty and hunger, fighting HIV/AIDS and other 
        infectious diseases, strengthening alliances, expanding 
        educational opportunities for women and girls, promoting good 
        governance and democracy, supporting anti-corruption efforts, 
        driving economic development and trade, preventing armed 
        conflicts and humanitarian crises, and creating American jobs 
        and export opportunities;
            (9) the Department and USAID are vital national security 
        agencies, whose work is critical to the projection of American 
        power and leadership worldwide, and without which Americans 
        would be less safe, our economic power would be diminished, and 
        global stability and prosperity would suffer;
            (10) investing in diplomacy and development before 
        conflicts break out saves American lives while also being cost-
        effective; and
            (11) the contributions of personnel working at the 
        Department and USAID are extraordinarily valuable and allow us 
        to maintain United States leadership around the world.

SEC. 102. REORGANIZATION AUTHORITY.

    (a) Report.--Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment

        with reference to the bureaus, offices, or positions of the 
        Department or of USAID that would be proposed to be eliminated, 
        created, or altered by such reorganization.
            (3) An assessment of the projected impact of the

        address the strategic priorities of the United States, identify 
        key threats and opportunities, or offer the rationale for 
        making hard choices with regard to limited resources; and
            (2) additional requirements to the Joint Strategic Plan are 
        necessary to encourage the development of a national diplomacy 
        and development strategy, elements of which shall be provided 
        to Congress in classified form.
    (b) Enhancement of Joint Strategic Plan for the Department and 
USAID.--In addition to meeting the requirements described in section 
306 of title 5, United States Code, the strategic plan developed by the

        strategy report submitted pursuant to section 108 of the 
        National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 3043);
            (2) be integrated and coordinated with other relevant 
        national-level plans and with the strategic plans of other 
        Federal departments and agencies, including the current 
        National Defense Strategy;
            (3) prioritize the leading worldwide diplomatic and 
        development interests and objectives of the United States and 
        the leading threats and challenges associated with those 
        interests and objectives;
            (4) identify the major diplomatic, economic, and assistance 
        approaches designed to support and further the worldwide 
        interests, goals, commitments, and policies that are vital to 
        the national security of the United States;
            (5) describe how the diplomatic and development community 
        will utilize personnel, partnerships, alliances, industry, 
        technology, international and nongovernmental organizations, 
        and other capabilities to execute the efforts described in 
        paragraph (4);
            (6) outline the organizational roles and missions of the 
        elements of the diplomatic and development community as part of 
        an integrated enterprise, and how those elements coordinate and 
        collaborate with other Federal departments and agencies 
        supporting the national security strategy of the United States;
            (7) include an assessment of each bureau headed by an 
        Assistant Secretary of State or an Assistant Administrator of 
        USAID regarding its current and anticipated contribution to the 
        overall strategic plan, including analysis of personnel, 
        responsibilities, performance, and chain of management;
            (8) identify sources of strategic, institutional, 
        programmatic, fiscal, and technological risk;
            (9) analyze factors that may affect the diplomatic and 
        development community's performance in pursuing the approaches 
        described in paragraph (4) during the following 10-year period; 
        and
            (10) identify extraordinary resources and statutory 
        authorities that may be necessary or appropriate to implement 
        this strategy.
    (c) Form.--The plan required under subsection (b) shall be 
transmitted in both classified and unclassified form, but may include a 
classified annex.
    (d) Submission to Congress.--Not later than 30 days after 
submission of the strategic plan required under section 306 of title 5,

        interests and the health and safety of American citizens 
        abroad;

        float'' requiring that a certain percentage of the Foreign 
        Service shall be in long-term training at any given time;

        and opportunities; and

        authority and other applicable laws, the Department and Foreign 
        Service Institute should seek and accept funds and other

                     TITLE II--EMBASSY CONSTRUCTION

SEC. 201. STANDARD DESIGN IN CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Department's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (OBO) or successor 
office should give appropriate consideration to Standard Embassy 
Design, in which each new embassy and consulate starts with a standard 
design and keeps customization to a minimum.
    (b) Consultation.--The Secretary shall carry out any new embassy 
compound or new consulate compound project that is in the design phase 
or pre-design phase as of the date of the enactment of this Act and 
that utilizes a non-standard design in consultation with the 
appropriate congressional committees. The Department shall provide the 
appropriate congressional committees, for each such project, the 
following documentation:
            (1) A comparison of the estimated full lifecycle costs of 
        the project to the estimated full lifecycle costs of the 
        project if it were to use a standard embassy design.
            (2) A comparison of the estimated completion date of the 
        project to the estimated completion date of the project if it 
        were to use a standard embassy design.
            (3) A comparison of the security of the completed project 
        to the security of the completed project if it were to use a 
        standard embassy design.
            (4) A justification for the Secretary's selection of a non-
        standard design over a standard design for the project.
            (5) A written explanation if any of the documentation 
        necessary to support the comparisons and justification, as the 
        case may be, described in paragraphs (1) through (4) cannot be 
        provided.
    (c) Non-Standard Design Defined.--In this section the term ``non-
standard design'' means a new embassy compound or new consulate 
compound design that does not utilize a standardized design template 
for the structural, spatial, and security requirements of the compound, 
or a new embassy compound or new consulate compound project that does 
not utilize a design-build delivery method.

                should have priority.

General of the Foreign Service shall analyze demographic data and other 
information obtained through interviews and surveys under subsections

            (2) whether to implement any policy changes or make any 
        recommendations as part of the reports required under 
        subsection (a) and (e) of section 402.
    (d) Tracking Data.--The Department shall--

            (1) continue to seek a diverse and talented pool of

        diversity recruitment plan of action, which should include 
        outreach at appropriate colleges, universities, diversity 
        organizations, and professional associations.
    (b) Scope.--The diversity recruitment initiatives described in 
subsection (a) should include--
            (1) recruiting at historically Black colleges and 
        universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, women's colleges,

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Department should offer both the Foreign Service written examination 
and oral assessment in diverse locations throughout the United States, 
in addition to the District of Columbia and San Francisco. Doing so

currently reside in and must travel at their own expense to these two 
cities, particularly veterans and military members transitioning to 
civilian life.
    (b) Foreign Service Examinations.--Subsection (b) of section 301 of 
the Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C. 3941) is amended--
            (1) by inserting ``(1)'' before ``The Secretary''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
    ``(2) The Secretary shall ensure that the Board of Examiners for 
the Foreign Service shall offer the oral assessment examinations 
described in paragraph (1) in at least three of the time zones in the 
United States in a calendar year to facilitate the participation and 
examination of a more diverse array of candidates.''.

socioeconomic backgrounds.

programs designed to increase minority representation in international 
affairs positions.

SEC. 407. VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION.

    (a) In General.--Nothing in this title should be construed so as to 
compel any employee to participate in the collection of the data or 
divulge any personal information. Department employees shall be 
informed that their participation in the data collection contemplated 
by this title is voluntary.
    (b) Privacy Protection.--Any data collected under this title shall
