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

     SEC. 5101. 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 its 
     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 that 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

[[Page S8302]]

     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 
     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 United 
     States power and leadership worldwide, and without which 
     Americans would be less safe, United States 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 
     the United States to maintain its leadership around the 
     world.

     and keeps customization to a minimum.
       (b) Consultation.--The Secretary shall carry out any new 
     United States embassy compound or new consulate compound

     projects that are in the design or pre-design phase as of the

     provide the appropriate congressional committees, for each 
     such project, the following documentation:

     project if it were to use a standard design.

     project to the estimated completion date of such project if 
     it were to use a standard design.

     standard design.
       (4) A justification for the Secretary's selection of a non-
     standard design over a standard design for such 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)

     frequency consistent with prior years and consistent with the 
     need to maintain a pool of experienced personnel effectively 
     distributed across skill codes and ranks. It is further the

     description of the anticipated impact of any proposed 
     workforce reduction; and

     section 5406 of this Act, including those veterans belonging

     employment and facilitate their participation in the 
     workforce.

     SEC. 5311. EMPLOYEE ASSIGNMENT RESTRICTIONS AND PRECLUSIONS.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that

     to the United States as nonpartisan professionals who 
     contribute subject matter expertise and professional skills 
     to the successful development and execution of United States 
     foreign policy; and
       (2) reemployment of skilled former members of the Foreign 
     and civil service who have voluntarily separated from the 
     Foreign or civil service due to family reasons or to obtain 
     professional skills outside government is of benefit to the 
     Department.

     over which it has jurisdiction, including, as appropriate, 
     incarcerating individuals convicted of such acts;
       (2) whether the government of the country vigorously

     prohibit government officials from participating in, 
     facilitating, or condoning corruption, including the

     the country is responsible for, and effectively capable of, 
     deciding corruption cases impartially, on the basis of facts 
     and in accordance with the law, without any improper 
     restrictions, influences, inducements, pressures, threats, or 
     interferences (direct or indirect);

     international investigations of transnational corruption 
     networks and in other cooperative efforts to combat 
     significant corruption, including, as appropriate, 
     cooperating with the governments of other countries to 
     extradite corrupt actors;
       (8) whether the government of the country recognizes the 
     rights of victims of corruption, ensures their access to 
     justice, and takes steps to prevent victims from being 
     further victimized or persecuted by corrupt actors, 
     government officials, or others;
       (9) whether the government of the country protects victims 
     of corruption or whistleblowers from reprisal due to such 
     persons having assisted in exposing corruption, and refrains

     corruption in other countries in connection with state-
     directed investment, loans or grants for major 
     infrastructure, or other initiatives; and
