SEC. 1002. 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 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.

SEC. 1003. BUREAU OF DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND LABOR.

SEC. 1008. IMPORTANCE OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS TRAINING TO NATIONAL SECURITY.

  (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the Department is a crucial national security agency, 
        whose employees, both Foreign and Civil Service, require the 
        best possible training at every stage of their careers to 
        prepare them to promote and defend United States national 
        interests and the health and safety of United States citizens 
        abroad;
          (2) the Department of State's investment of time and 
        resources with respect to the training and education of its 
        personnel is considerably below the level of other Federal 
        departments and agencies in the national security field, and 
        falls well below the investments many allied and adversarial 
        countries make in the development of their diplomats;
          (3) the Department faces increasingly complex and rapidly 
        evolving challenges, many of which are science and technology-
        driven, and which demand the continual, high-quality training 
        and education of its personnel;
          (4) the Department must move beyond reliance on ``on-the-job 
        training'' and other informal mentorship practices, which lead 
        to an inequality in skillset development and career advancement 
        opportunities, often particularly for minority personnel, and 
        towards a robust professional tradecraft training continuum 
        that will provide for greater equality in career advancement 
        and increase minority participation in the senior ranks;
          (5) the Department's Foreign Service Institute and other 
        training facilities should seek to substantially increase its 
        educational and training offerings to Department personnel, 
        including developing new and innovative educational and 
        training courses, methods, programs, and opportunities; and
          (6) consistent with existing Department gift acceptance 
        authority and other applicable laws, the Department and Foreign 
        Service Institute may accept funds and other resources from 
        foundations, not-for-profit corporations, and other appropriate 
        sources to help the Department and the Institute enhance the 
        quantity and quality of training offerings, especially in the 
        introduction of new, innovative, and pilot model courses.
  (b) Training Float.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall develop and submit 
to the appropriate congressional committees a strategy to establish a 
``training float'' to allow for up to 15 percent of the Civil and 
Foreign Service to participate in long-term training at any given time. 
The strategy should identify steps necessary to ensure implementation 
of the training priorities identified in subsection (c), sufficient 
training capacity and opportunities are available to Civil and Foreign 
Service officers, equitable distribution of long-term training 
opportunities to Civil and Foreign Service officers, and any additional 
resources or authorities necessary to facilitate such a training float, 
including programs at the George P. Schultz National Foreign Affairs 
Training Center, the Foreign Service Institute, the Foreign Affairs 
Security Training Center, and other facilities or programs operated by 
the Department of State. The strategy shall identify which types of 
training would be prioritized, the extent (if any) to which such 
training is already being provided to Civil and Foreign Service 
officers by the Department of State, any factors incentivizing or 
disincentivizing such training, and why such training cannot be 
achieved without Civil and Foreign Service officers leaving the 
workforce. In addition to training opportunities provided by the 
Department, the strategy shall consider training that could be provided 
by the other United States Government training institutions, as well as 
non-governmental educational institutions. The strategy shall consider 
approaches to overcome disincentives to pursuing long-term training.
  (c) Prioritization.--In order to provide the Civil and Foreign 
Service with the level of education and training needed to effectively 
advance United States interests across the globe, the Department of 
State should--
          (1) increase its offerings--
                  (A) of virtual instruction to make training more 
                accessible to personnel deployed throughout the world; 
                or
                  (B) at partner organizations to provide useful 
                outside perspectives to Department personnel;
          (2) offer courses utilizing computer-based or assisted 
        simulations, allowing civilian officers to lead decision-making 
        in a crisis environment; and
          (3) consider increasing the duration and expanding the focus 
        of certain training courses, including--
                  (A) the A-100 orientation course for Foreign Service 
                officers, and
                  (B) the chief of mission course to more accurately 
                reflect the significant responsibilities accompanying 
                such role.
  (d) Other Agency Responsibilities.--Other national security agencies 
should increase the enrollment of their personnel in courses at the 
Foreign Service Institute and other Department of State training 
facilities to promote a whole-of-government approach to mitigating 
national security challenges.

SEC. 1009. CLASSIFICATION AND ASSIGNMENT OF FOREIGN SERVICE OFFICERS.

SEC. 1202. 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 standardization in 
construction, in which each new United States embassy and consulate 
starts with a standard design and keeps customization to a minimum.
  (b) Consultation.--The Secretary of State shall carry out any new 
United States embassy compound or new consulate compound project that 
utilizes a non-standard design, including those projects that are in 
the design or pre-design phase as of the date of the enactment of this 
Act, only in consultation with the appropriate congressional 
committees. The Secretary 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 such project 
        if it were to use a standard design.
          (2) A comparison of the estimated completion date of such 
        project to the estimated completion date of such project if it 
        were to use a standard design.
          (3) A comparison of the security of the completed project to 
        the security of such completed project if it were to use a 
        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) cannot be 
        provided.
  (c) Sunset.--The consultation requirement under subsection (b) shall 
expire on the date that is 4 years after the date of the enactment of 
this Act.

                or sponsor members of the workforce to participate in, 
                a Senior Executive Service candidate development 
                program or other program that trains members on the 
                skills required for appointment to senior positions in

                (A), the Secretary of State shall--
                          (i) ensure any program offered or sponsored 
                        by the Department of State under such 
                        subparagraph comports with the requirements of 
                        subpart C of part 412 of title 5, Code of 
                        Federal Regulations, or any successor thereto,

SEC. 1408. EXAMINATION AND ORAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE FOREIGN SERVICE.

  (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Department of State should offer both the Foreign Service written 
examination and oral assessment in more locations throughout the United 
States. Doing so would ease the financial burden on potential 
candidates who do not currently reside in and must travel at their own 
expense to one of the few locations where these assessments are 
offered.
  (b) Foreign Service Examinations.--Section 301(b) of the Foreign 
Service Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C. 3941) is amended--
          (1) by striking ``The Secretary'' and inserting: ``(1) 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 annually offers the oral assessment examinations 
described in paragraph (1) in cities, chosen on a rotating basis, 
located in at least three different time zones across the United 
States.''.

past programs designed to increase minority representation in 
international affairs positions.

SEC. 1410. 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 of State 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 be 
subject to the relevant privacy protection statutes and regulations

                    PUBLIC TRUST OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

  (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, as a matter 
of rule of law and transparency in a democratic government, all 
officers and employees of the Department of State and the United States 
Agency for International Development must preserve all records of 
communications conducted in their official capacities or related to 
their official duties with entities outside of the United States

                inserting ``25''; and

  (a) In General.--For each of fiscal years 2022 through 2027, the

under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2151 et seq.) or 
the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.) to combat public

          (1) utilize independent, third party indicators that measure 
        transparency, accountability, and corruption in the public 
        sector in such countries, including the extent to which public 
        power is exercised for private gain, to identify those 
        countries that are most vulnerable to public corruption;
          (2) consider, to the extent reliable information is 
        available, whether the government of a country identified under 
        paragraph (1)--
                  (A) has adopted measures to prevent public 
                corruption, such as measures to inform and educate the 
                public, including potential victims, about the causes 
                and consequences of public corruption;

                process;
                  (D) vigorously investigates, prosecutes, convicts,

                assignments, trade delegations abroad, or other similar 
                missions who engage in or facilitate public corruption;
                  (E) prescribes appropriate punishment for serious and

                corruption that provides a sufficiently stringent 
                deterrent and adequately reflects the nature of the 
                offense;
                  (G) convicts and sentences persons responsible for 
                such acts that take place wholly or partly within the 
                country of such government, including, as appropriate, 
                requiring the incarceration of individuals convicted of 
                such acts;
                  (H) holds private sector representatives accountable 
                for their role in public corruption; and
                  (I) addresses threats for civil society to monitor 
                anti-corruption efforts;
          (3) further consider--
                  (A) verifiable measures taken by the government of a 
                country identified under paragraph (1) to prohibit

                institutions to combat public corruption, including 
                reporting, investigating, and monitoring;
                  (C) the extent to which an independent judiciary or

                influences, inducements, pressures, threats, or 
                interferences, whether direct or indirect, from any 
                source or for any reason;
                  (D) the extent to which such government cooperates 
                meaningfully with the United States to strengthen 
                government and judicial institutions and the rule of 
                law to prevent, prohibit, and punish public corruption; 
                and
                  (E) the extent to which such government--
                          (i) is assisting in international 
                        investigations of transnational public 
                        corruption networks and in other cooperative 
                        efforts to combat serious, significant 
                        corruption, including cooperating with the

                        public corruption, ensures their access to 
                        justice, and takes steps to prevent such 
                        victims from being further victimized or 
                        persecuted by corrupt actors, government 
                        officials, or others; and

                        victims of public corruption or whistleblowers 
                        due to such persons having assisted in exposing 
                        public corruption, and refrains from other

                          Purpose and Summary

    The Department of State Authorization Act of 2021 (H.R. 
1157) contains various provisions to strengthen the management 
and operations of the Department of State, including to recruit 
and retain a diverse workforce, bolster embassy and information 
security, improve flexibility, training, and other workplace 
policies for personnel, and strengthen the Department's 
capacity to carry out public diplomacy and anti-corruption 
activities, among other provisions. The bill authorizes 
activities and positions in a number of key Department bureaus 
and offices, and authorizes funding for Diplomatic Programs and 
Embassy Security, Construction, and Maintenance. H.R. 1157 
incorporates and builds on numerous bipartisan legislative 
provisions introduced in prior Congresses related to the 
management and operations of the Department of State.

                  Background and Need for Legislation

    The House Committee on Foreign Affairs is responsible for 
reporting legislation that sets forth the duties and functions 
of the State Department and authorizes the subsequent enactment 
of appropriations. The authorization of appropriations in the 
bill is intended to provide guidance regarding the appropriate 
amount of funds to carry out the authorized activities of the 
agency. However, it has been 19 years since a State Department 
authorization bill was signed into law--the Foreign Relations 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (H.R. 1646 in the 107th 
Congress) became Public Law 107-228 in September 2002. The 
House Committee on Foreign Affairs passed H.R. 3352 in the 
116th Congress, the Department of State Authorization Act of 
2019, but the measure was not taken up in the Senate and failed 
to become law.
    The Congressional Research Service has described the impact 
of the lack of regular, comprehensive foreign relations 
authorizing legislation as follows in its In Focus report 
entitled ``Foreign Relations Reauthorization: Background and 
Issues,'' updated on June 27, 2019:
    When a foreign relations reauthorization does not 
specifically authorize appropriations, waivers of this 
requirement are included in the annual appropriations bills. 
When authorization requirements are not enacted, foreign policy 
provisions often are inserted in the general provisions title. 
Typically, these provisions would be effective only for the 
duration of the appropriations law and would face renegotiation 
the following year. In addition, foreign policy-related 
legislation is often inserted into other legislative vehicles, 
or in stand-alone legislation.
    Diplomacy and development are critical tools for advancing 
American foreign policy and national security, and it is a core 
responsibility of the Committee on Foreign Affairs to regularly 
authorize the work of the Department of State and related 
agencies. H.R. 1157 puts the Committee back on the right track 
to strengthen and support the important work that America's 
diplomats carry out every day on behalf of the United States--
and helps to return regular legislative authorizing for the 
Department of State back to its committee of jurisdiction where 
it belongs. This bipartisan bill represents an important step 
in making State Department reauthorization a regular part of 
Committee business again, thereby reasserting the Committee's 
Constitutional authority to provide direction to the Department 
of State and to ensure its employees have the tools they need 
to best advance U.S. foreign policy.

    The bill would
           Specifically authorize appropriations of 
        $11.1 billion in 2022 for some Department of State 
        operations
           Make several changes to operations of the 
        Department of State and other federal agencies
    Estimated budgetary effects would mainly stem from
           Authorizing appropriations for Department of 
        State operations
    Areas of significant uncertainty include
           Anticipating how federal agencies would 
        implement provisions authorizing additional leave for 
        federal employees
    Bill summary: H.R. 1157 would authorize appropriations of 
$11.1 billion in 2022 and would make several changes to the 
operations of the Department of State and other federal 
agencies.
    Estimated Federal cost: The estimated budgetary effect of 
H.R. 1157 is shown in Table 1. The costs of the legislation

a. In addition to the budgetary effects shown above, H.R. 1157 would have insignificant effects on direct
  spending over the 2021-2031 period.

    Basis of estimate: CBO assumes that H.R. 1157 will be 
enacted near the start of fiscal year 2022 and that the 
authorized and estimated amounts will be appropriated each 
fiscal year.
    Spending subject to appropriation: CBO estimates that 
implementing H.R. 1157 would cost almost $11 billion over the 
2021-2026 period; such spending would be subject to the 
appropriation of the specified and estimated amounts (see Table 
2).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Components may not sum to totals because of rounding; * = between zero and $500,000.

    Diplomatic Programs. Section 1001 would authorize 
appropriations of $9.2 billion in 2022 for the Diplomatic 
Programs account of the Department of State. On the basis of 
historical spending patterns for those programs, CBO estimates 
that outlays would increase by $9 billion over the 2021-2026 
period, subject to the appropriation of the specified amount.
    U.S. Embassies. Title II would authorize appropriations of 
almost $2 billion in 2022 for the construction, maintenance, 
and security of U.S. embassies and other overseas facilities. 
Using data on historical spending patterns for those programs, 
CBO estimates that outlays would increase by $1.6 billion over 
the 2021-2026 period, subject to the appropriation of the 
specified amount.
    In addition, the bill would alter several administrative 
processes affecting those facilities and require the department 
to provide additional documentation or reports to the Congress 
on several topics. On the basis of information from the 
department about how those provisions would affect its current 
practices, CBO estimates that implementing those changes would 
cost less than $500,000 each year and total $2 million over the 
2021-2026 period.
    Leave for Federal Employees. Section 1321 would allow 
federal agencies to provide additional leave for employees 
working in designated foreign areas. CBO estimates that 
implementing the section would cost almost $360 million between 
2021 and 2026.
    Under the section, agencies could grant up to 10 days of 
leave to recognize local holidays or to reduce security risks 
to agency operations. Agencies could also grant employees up to 
20 days of leave for rest and recuperation if they serve in 
combat zones or other areas with high levels of political 
violence or terrorism. CBO assumes that section 1321 would take 
effect halfway through fiscal year 2022 and that the costs 
would increase each year because of anticipated inflation.
    CBO estimates that the additional holiday leave provided to 
employees working abroad would cost about $283 million over the 
2021-2026 period, with annual costs growing from $29 million in 
2022 to $67 million in 2026. According to the Department of 
Defense (DoD), the Department of State, and the Office of 
Personnel Management (OPM), approximately 50,000 federal 
employees are working abroad at a daily cost of $490 per 
employee, on average. Using information from those agencies, 
CBO estimates that roughly 25 percent of those employees would 
receive the additional leave. If agencies provided that leave 
to a larger proportion of employees, the costs associated with 
providing holiday leave would be greater.
    CBO also estimates that the additional leave for rest and 
recuperation would cost $73 million over the next five years, 
with annual costs rising from $8 million in 2022 to $17 million 
in 2026. Using information from DoD and OPM, CBO estimates that 
about 1,500 employees in combat zones would be granted an 
average of 15 additional days of leave each year. Furthermore, 
according to the Department of State, about 400 of its 
employees would receive an additional 20 days of leave each 
year.
    Currently, agencies may provide administrative leave for 
holidays and rest and recuperation, but the Administrative 
Leave Act of 2016 generally limits such leave to 10 days each 
year. Because final regulations implementing that law have not 
been issued, that limitation has not yet gone into effect. On 
July 13, 2017, OPM published a notice of proposed rulemaking to 
limit the amount of administrative leave agencies may use as 
stipulated in the Administrative Leave Act of 2016. CBO's 
baseline reflects the assumption that there is a 50 percent 
probability that the rule will be finalized and take effect, 
thus reducing the amount of administrative leave that can be 
provided under current law. The costs shown in Table 2 equal 50 
percent of the estimated $356 million cost of implementing the 
act's policies because of the possibility that leave will not 
be reduced under current law. If the rule is not finalized, 
federal agencies could offer the amount of leave that would be 
authorized by section 1321 under current law. In that case, the 
provision would not affect the federal budget. (The cost of 
additional leave in 2022 for Department of State employees 
could be paid from funds appropriated pursuant to the specified 
authorization for Diplomatic Programs in section 1001. In that 
case, the estimated costs for 2022 shown in Table 2 would be $6 
million instead of $18 million.)
    Student Internships. Section 1323 would require the 
Department of State to pay its interns for their work and to 
cover housing and travel expenses for those who relocate for 
the period of their internship. The bill would allow the 
department two years to implement those changes. The department 
indicated that it has between 1,200 and 1,400 interns each year 
and that the full cost of paying those interns would total 
about $20 million annually. It plans to begin offering some 
paid internships in 2021 at a cost of $3 million, and CBO 
expects it will fully implement all changes by 2024. CBO 
estimates that implementing this provision would cost about $90 
million over the 2021-2026 period.
    Pay Incentives for Foreign Service. Section 1315 would 
authorize federal agencies to pay recruitment, relocation, and 
retention bonuses to Foreign Service Officers (FSOs) for 
service in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. For the past 
several years, that authority has been provided in annual 
appropriation acts. The majority of FSOs are employed by the 
Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International 
Development (USAID); the rest are employed by other federal 
agencies that operate in foreign countries, such as the 
Department of Commerce. The Department of State indicated it 
spent almost $10 million on such incentives in 2020; CBO 
estimates it would continue to spend that amount under the bill 
and that USAID and other federal agencies would spend an 
additional $2 million each year. In total, CBO estimates that 
implementing this provision would cost almost $60 million over 
the 2021-2026 period. (The cost of incentives in 2022 for 
Department of State employees could be paid from funds 
appropriated pursuant to the specified authorization for 
Diplomatic Programs in section 1001. In that case, the 
estimated costs for 2022 shown in Table 2 would be $2 million 
instead of $11 million.)
    Public Corruption Overseas. Title VII would require the 
department to designate and train its staff to reduce 
corruption involving public officials of foreign countries. It 
also would require the department to provide to the Congress a 
detailed assessment of each country's efforts to deter, 
investigate, and punish such corruption. The department would 
use that information to reduce the misuse of U.S. foreign 
assistance in the most corrupt countries. Finally, the 
department would coordinate the federal government's efforts to 
promote good governance and reduce corruption overseas.
    On the basis of information from the department, CBO 
expects that implementing those provisions would require the 
department to hire nine additional full-time employees in 
Washington, D.C., at an average annual cost of about $240,000 
each. CBO estimates that paying the salaries of those 
employees, providing training for agency personnel, and 
satisfying the reporting requirements would cost about $3 
million each year and $15 million over the 2021-2026 period.
    Public Diplomacy. Title VI would permanently reauthorize 
the U.S. Advisory Commission for Public Diplomacy. On the basis 
of information from the commission, CBO estimates that 
implementing that provision would cost about $500,000 each 
year.
    Title VI also would require the department to appoint a 
director, without increasing its overall number of employees, 
to examine and evaluate its public-diplomacy programs and to 
report to the Congress on the results. The director also would 
be required to provide additional guidance and training to 
public-diplomacy officers based on the results of that 
evaluation. Finally, it would require the department to 
consider consolidating the support functions of its bureaus. 
The department is in the process of meeting most of those 
requirements; thus, CBO estimates that implementing those 
provisions would cost less than $500,000 each year.
    In total, CBO estimates that implementing the public 
diplomacy provisions in title VI would cost $5 million over the 
2021-2026 period.
    Miscellaneous Provisions. Other provisions in H.R. 1157, 
including several reporting requirements, would increase the 
department's administrative costs. CBO estimates that 
implementing each of them would cost less than $500,000 
annually and $15 million in total over the 2021-2026 period. 
Some of those provisions would require or authorize the 
department to:
           Provide grants to fellowship programs for 
        science and technology;
           Develop and implement programs to improve 
        its cybersecurity, including a pilot program to reward 
        hackers who discover vulnerabilities in systems that 
        can be accessed through the Internet;
           Gather and analyze data on various aspects 
        of its workforce;
           Provide training to department personnel to 
        reduce harassment and discrimination;
           Offer the oral Foreign Service examination 
        in more locations; and
           Provide more flexible leave arrangements for 
        employees posted overseas who are separated from their 
        families.
    Direct spending: Two provisions in H.R. 1157 each would 
affect direct spending by insignificant amounts, CBO estimates.
    Section 1012 would permanently authorize the Fishermen's 
Protection Fund and allow payments from the fund for losses 
that occurred before the date of enactment of H.R. 1157. That 
fund reimburses U.S. fishermen for financial losses they incur 
if their vessels are seized by a foreign nation. Owners of 
fishing vessels pay fees sufficient to cover the expected cost 
of those payments. No payments have been made from the fund in 
recent years.
    Section 1322 would authorize the department to provide 
emergency medical care to private individuals in exigent 
circumstances and to seek reimbursement from those people for 
the cost of such care.
    Pay-as-you-go considerations: CBO estimates that enacting 
H.R. 1157 would have insignificant effects on direct spending 
over the 2021-2031 period and would not affect revenues.
    Increase in long-term deficits: None.
    Mandates: None.
    Estimate prepared by: Federal costs: Sunita D'Monte 
(Department of State), Dawn Sauter Regan and Dan Ready (Leave 
for Federal Employees); Mandates: Brandon Lever.
    Estimate reviewed by: David Newmanm, Chief, Defense, 
International Affairs, and Veterans' Affairs Cost Estimates 
Unit; Leo Lex, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis; Theresa 
Gullo, Director of Budget Analysis.

                  Non-Duplication of Federal Programs

    Pursuant to clause 3(c)(5) of House Rule XIII, the 
committee states that no provision of this bill establishes or 
reauthorizes a program of the Federal Government known to be 
duplicative of another Federal program, a program that was 
included in any report from the Government Accountability 
Office to Congress pursuant to section 21 of Public Law 111-
139, or a program related to a program identified in the most 
recent Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance.

                    Performance Goals and Objectives

    As explained with greater specificity in the ``Purpose and 
Summary'' and ``Section-by-Section Analysis'' sections of this 
report, the general goal of H.R. 1157 is to provide for certain

provisions related to the organization and operations of the 
Department, embassy security, personnel, recruiting and 
retaining a diverse workforce, information security, conducting 
public diplomacy, countering public corruption, and other 
items.

                    Congressional Accountability Act

    H.R. 1157 does not apply to terms and conditions of 
employment or to access to public services or accommodations 
within the legislative branch.

                        New Advisory Committees

    H.R. 1157 does not establish or authorize any new advisory 
committees.

                         Earmark Identification

    H.R. 1157 contains no congressional earmarks, limited tax 
benefits, or limited tariff benefits as described in clauses 
9(e), 9(f), and 9(g) of House Rule XXI.

                        agreements for the exchange of 
                        information on money-laundering with 
                        countries other than the United States.
                  (C) Findings on each country's adoption of

                has--
                          (i) criminalized narcotics money 
                        laundering;
                          (ii) required banks and other

                        engaging in significant transactions, 
                        including the recording of large 
                        currency transactions at thresholds

                        situation;
                          (iii) required banks and other

                        reconstruct significant transactions 
                        through financial institutions in order

                        other information regarding the 
                        production of methamphetamine in such

                        respect to those countries, other 
                        measures the Secretary of State

    Sec. 620. Prohibitions Against Furnishing Assistance.--
(a)(1) No assistance shall be furnished under this Act to the 
present government of Cuba. As an additional means of 
implementing and carrying into effect the policy of the 
preceding sentence, the President is authorized to establish 
and maintain a total embargo upon all trade between the United 
States and Cuba.
    (2) Except as may be deemed necessary by the President in 
the interest of the United States, no assistance shall be 
furnished under this Act to any government of Cuba, nor shall 
Cuba be entitled to receive any quota authorizing the 
importation of Cuban sugar into the United States or to receive 
any other benefit under any law of the United States, until the 
President determines that such government has taken appropriate 
steps according to international law standards to return to 
United States citizens, and to entities not less than 50 per 
centum beneficially owned by United States citizens, or to 
provide equitable compensation to such citizens and entities 
for property taken from such citizens and entities on or after 
January 1, 1959, by the Government of Cuba.
    (c) No assistance shall be provided under this Act to the 
government of any country which is indebted to any United 
States citizen or person for goods or services furnished or 
ordered where (i) such citizen or person has exhausted 
available legal remedies, which shall include arbitration, or 
(ii) the debt is not denied or contested by such government, or 
(iii) such indebtedness arises under an unconditional guaranty 
of payment given by such government, or any predecessor 
government, directly or indirectly, through any controlled 
entity: Provided, That the President does not find such action 
contrary to the national security.
    (d) No assistance shall be furnished on a loan basis under 
chapter 1 of part I of this Act for construction or operation 
of any productive enterprise in any country where such 
enterprise will compete with United States enterprise unless 
such country has agreed that it will establish appropriate 
procedures to prevent the exportation for use or consumption in 
the United States of more than 20 per centum of the annual 
production of such facility during the life of the loan. In 
case of failure to implement such agreement by the other 
contracting party, the President is authorized to establish 
necessary import controls to effectuate the agreement. The 
restrictions imposed by or pursuant to this subsection may be 
waived by the President where he determines that such waiver is 
in the national security interest.
    (e)(1) The President shall suspend assistance to the 
government of any country to which assistance is provided under 
this or any other Act when the government of such country or 
any government agency or subdivision within such country on or 
after January 1, 1962--
                  (A) has nationalized or expropriated or 
                seized ownership or control of property owned 
                by any United States citizen or by any 
                corporation, partnership, or association not 
                less than 50 per centum beneficially owned by 
                United States citizens, or
                  (B) has taken steps to repudiate or nullify 
                existing contracts or agreements with any 
                United States citizen or any corporation, 
                partnership, or association not less than 50 
                per centum beneficially owned by United States 
                citizens, or
                  (C) has imposed or enforced discriminatory 
                taxes or other exactions, or restrictive 
                maintenance or operational conditions, or has 
                taken other actions, which have the effect of 
                nationalizing, expropriating, or otherwise 
                seizing ownership or control of property so 
                owned,
and such country, government agency, or government subdivision 
fails within a reasonable time (not more than six months after 
such action, or, in the event of a referral to the Foreign 
Claims Settlement Commission of the United States within such 
period as provided herein, not more than twenty days after the 
report of the Commission is received) to take appropriate 
steps, which may include arbitration, to discharge its 
obligations under international law toward such citizen or 
entity, including speedy compensation for such property in 
convertible foreign exchange, equivalent to the full value 
thereof, as required by international law, or fails to take 
steps designed to provide relief from such taxes, exactions, or 
conditions, as the case may be; and such suspension shall 
continue until the President is satisfied that appropriate 
steps are being taken, and the provisions of this subsection 
shall not be waived with respect to any country unless the 
President determines and certifies that such a waiver is 
important to the national interests of the United States. Such 
certification shall be reported immediately to Congress.
    Upon request of the President (within seventy days after 
such action referred to in subparagraphs (A), (B), or (C) of 
paragraph (1) of this section), the Foreign Claims Settlement 
Commission of the United States (established pursuant to 
Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1954, 68 Stat. 1279) is hereby 
authorized to evaluate expropriated property, determining the 
full value of any property nationalized, expropriated, or 
seized, or subject to discriminatory or other actions as 
aforesaid, for purposes of this subsection and to render an 
advisory report to the President within ninety days after such 
request. Unless authorized by the President, the Commission 
shall not publish its advisory report except to the citizen or 
entity owning such property. There is hereby authorized to be 
appropriated such amount, to remain available until expended, 
as may be necessary from time to time to enable the Commission 
to carry out expeditiously its functions under this subsection.
    (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no court in 
the United States shall decline on the ground of the federal 
act of state doctrine to make a determination on the merits 
giving effect to the principles of international law in a case 
in which claim of title or other right to property is asserted 
by any party including a foreign state (or a party claiming 
through such state) based upon (or traced through) a 
confiscation or other taking after January 1, 1959, by an act 
of that state in violation of the principles of international 
law, including the principles of compensation and the other 
standards set out in this subsection: Provided, That this 
subparagraph shall not be applicable (1) in any case in which 
an act of a foreign state is not contrary to international law 
or with respect to a claim of title or other right to property 
acquired pursuant to an irrevocable letter of credit of not 
more than 180 days duration issued in good faith prior to the 
time of the confiscation or other taking, or (2) in any case 
with respect to which the President determines that application 
of the act of state doctrine is required in that particular 
case by the foreign policy interests of the United States and a 
suggestion to this effect is filed on his behalf in that case 
with the court.
    (f)(1) No assistance shall be furnished under this Act, as 
amended (except section 214(b)), to any Communist country. This 
restriction may not be waived pursuant to any authority 
contained in this Act unless the President finds and promptly 
reports to Congress that: (A) such assistance is vital to the 
security of the United States; (B) the recipient country is not 
controlled by the inter national Communist conspiracy; and (C) 
such assistance will further promote the independence of the 
recipient country from international communism. For the 
purposes of this subsection, the phrase ``Communist country'' 
includes specifically, but is not limited to, the following 
countries:
            Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
            People's Republic of China.
            Republic of Cuba.
            Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
            Tibet.
    (2) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1) of this 
subsection, the President may remove a country, for such period 
as the President determines, from the application of this 
subsection, and other provisions which reference this 
subsection, if the President determines and reports to the 
Congress that such action is important to the national interest 
of the United States. It is the sense of the Congress that when 
consideration is given to authorizing assistance to a country 
removed from the application of this subsection, one of the 
factors to be weighed, among others, is whether the country in 
question is giving evidence of fostering the establishment of a 
genuinely democratic system, with respect for internationally 
recognized human rights.
    (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no monetary 
assistance shall be made available under this Act to any 
government or political subdivision or agency of such 
government which will be used to compensate owners for 
expropriated or nationalized property and, upon finding by the 
President that such assistance has been used by any government 
for such purpose, no further assistance under this Act shall be 
furnished to such government until appropriate reimbursement is 
made to the United States for sums so diverted. This 
prohibition shall not apply to monetary assistance made 
available for use by a government (or a political subdivision 
or agency of a government) to compensate nationals of that 
country in accordance with a land reform program, if the 
President determines that monetary assistance for such land 
reform program will further the national interests of the 
United States.
    (h) The President shall adopt regulations and establish 
procedures to insure that United States foreign aid is not used 
in a manner which, contrary to the best interests of the United 
States, promotes or assists the foreign aid projects or 
activities of any country that is a Communist country for 
purposes of subsection (f).
    (j) The President shall consider terminating assistance 
under this or any other Act to any country which permits, or 
fails to take adequate measures to prevent, the damage or 
destruction by mob action of United States property within such 
country, and fails to take appropriate measures to prevent a 
recurrence thereof and to provide adequate compensation for 
such damage or destruction.
    (k) Without the express approval of Congress, no assistance 
shall be furnished under this Act to any country for 
construction of any productive enterprise with respect to which 
the aggregate value of assistance to be furnished by the United 
States will exceed $100,000,000, except that this sentence does 
not apply with respect to assistance for construction of any 
productive enterprise in Egypt which is described in the 
presentation materials to Congress. Except as otherwise 
provided in section 506, no military assistance to be furnished 
beginning July 1, 1966, by the United States will exceed 
$100,000,000 unless such program has been included in the 
presentation to the Congress during its consideration of 
authorizations for appropriations under this Act or of 
appropriations pursuant to authorizations contained in this 
Act. No provision of this or any other Act shall be construed 
to authorize the President to waive the provisions of this 
subsection.
    (l) The President shall consider denying assistance under 
this Act to the government of any less developed country which, 
after December 31, 1966, has failed to enter into an agreement 
with the President to institute the investment guaranty program 
under section 234(a)(1) of this Act, providing protection 
against the specific risks of inconvertibility under 
subparagraph (A), and expropriation or confiscation under 
subparagraph (B), of such section 234(a)(1).
    (o) In determining whether or not to furnish assistance 
under this Act, consideration shall be given to excluding from 
such assistance any country which hereafter seizes, or imposes 
any penalty or sanction against, any United States fishing 
vessel on account of its fishing activities in international 
waters. The provisions of this subsection shall not be 
applicable in any case governed by international agreement to 
which the United States is a party.
    (q) [No assistance] (1) No assistance shall be furnished 
under this Act to the government of any country which is in 
default, during a period in excess of six calendar months, in 
payment to the United States of principal or interest on any 
loan made to the government of such country under this Act, 
unless the government of such country meets its obligations 
under the loan or unless the President [determines that 
assistance to such country is in the national interest and 
notifies the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the 
Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate of such 
determination.] determines, after consultation with the 
Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on 
Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the 
Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on 
Appropriations of the Senate, that assistance for the 
government of such country is in the national interest of the 
United States.
    (2) No assistance shall be furnished under this Act, the 
Peace Corps Act, the Millennium Challenge Act of 2003, the 
African Development Foundation Act, the BUILD Act of 2018, 
section 504 of the FREEDOM Support Act, or section 23 of the 
Arms Export Control Act to the government of any country which 
is in default during a period in excess of 1 calendar year in 
payment to the United States of principal or interest or any 
loan made to the government of such country by the United 
States unless the President determines, following consultation 
with the congressional committees specified in paragraph (1), 
that assistance for such country is in the national interest of 
the United States.
    (r) No recipient of a loan made under the authority of this 
Act, any part of which is outstanding on or after the date of 
enactment of this subsection, shall be relieved of liability 
for the repayment of any part of the principal of or interest 
on such loan.
    (s)(l) In order to restrain arms races and proliferation of 
sophisticated weapons, and to ensure that resources intended 
for economic development are not diverted to military purposes, 
the President shall take into account before furnishing 
development loans, Alliance loans or supporting assistance to 
any country under this Act, and before making sales under the 
Food for Peace Act, as amended:
                  (A) the percentage of the recipient or 
                purchasing country's budget which is devoted to 
                military purposes; and
                  (B) the degree to which the recipient or 
                purchasing country is using its foreign 
                exchange or other resources to acquire military 
                equipment.
    (2) The President shall report annually to the Speaker of 
the House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign 
Relations of the Senate his actions in carrying out this 
provision.
    (t) No assistance shall be furnished under this or any 
other Act and no sales shall be made under the Food for Peace 
Act, in or to any country which has severed or hereafter severs 
diplomatic relations with the United States or with which the 
United States has severed or hereafter severs diplomatic 
relations, unless (1) diplomatic relations have been resumed 
with such country and (2) agreements for the furnishing of such 
assistance or the making of such sales, as the case may be, 
have been negotiated and entered into after the resumption of 
diplomatic relations with such country.
    (u) In any decision to provide or continue to provide any 
program of assistance to any country under the Foreign 
Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, there shall be taken into 
account the status of the country with respect to its dues, 
assessments, and other obligations to the United Nations; and 
where such country is delinquent with respect to any such 
obligations for the purposes of the first sentence of Article 
19 of the United Nations Charter, the President shall furnish 
the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the 
Speaker of the House of Representatives a report setting forth 
the assurance given by the government of the country concerned 
of paying all of its arrearages and of placing its payments of 
such obligations on a current basis, or a full explanation of 
the unusual or exceptional circumstances which render it 
economically incapable of giving such assurance.
    (x)(1) All military assistance, all sales of defense 
articles and services (whether for cash or by credit, guaranty, 
or any other means), and all licenses with respect to the 
transportation of arms, ammunitions, and implements of war 
(including technical data relating thereto) to the Government 
of Turkey, shall be suspended on the date of enactment of this 
subsection unless and until the President determines and 
certifies to the Congress that the Government of Turkey is in 
compliance with the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, the Foreign 
Military Sales Act, and any agreement entered into under such 
Acts, and that substantial progress toward agreement has been 
made regarding military forces in Cyprus: Provided, That for 
the fiscal year 1978 the President may suspend the provisions 
of this subsection and of section 3(c) of the Arms Export 
Control Act with respect to cash sales and extensions of 
credits and guaranties under such Act for the procurement of 
such defense articles and defense services as the President 
determines are necessary to enable Turkey to fulfill her 
defense responsibilities as a member of the North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization, except that during the fiscal year 1978 
the total value of defense articles and defense services sold 
to Turkey under such Act, either for cash or financed by 
credits and guaranties, shall not exceed $175,000,000. Any such 
suspension shall be effective only so long as Turkey observes 
the cease-fire on Cyprus, does not increase its military forces 
or its civilian population on Cyprus, and does not transfer to 
Cyprus any United States supplied arms, ammunition, or 
implements of war. The determination required by the proviso in 
the first sentence of this paragraph shall be made, on a case-
by-case basis, with respect to each cash sale, each approval 
for use of credits, and each approval for use of a guaranty for 
Turkey. Each such determination shall be reported to the 
Congress and shall be accompanied by a full and complete 
statement of the reasons supporting the President's 
determination and a statement containing the information 
specified in clauses (A) through (D) of section 2(c)(4) of the 
Act of October 6, 1975 (Public Law 94-104). In any case 
involving the sale of significant combat equipment on the 
United States Munitions List in which the congressional review 
provisions of section 36(b) of the Arms Export Control Act do 
not apply, the President may not issue the letter of offer or 
approve the use of the credits or guaranty, as the case may be, 
until the end of the thirty-day period beginning on the date on 
which the report required by the preceding sentence is 
submitted to the Congress.
    (2) The President shall submit to the Congress within 60 
days after the enactment of this paragraph and at the end of 
such succeeding sixty-day period, a report on progress made 
during such period toward the conclusion of a negotiated 
solution of the Cyprus conflict.
    (y)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the President 
shall withhold from amounts made available under this Act or 
any other Act and allocated for a country for a fiscal year an 
amount equal to the aggregate value of nuclear fuel and related 
assistance and credits provided by that country, or any entity 
of that country, to Cuba during the preceding fiscal year.
    (2) The requirement to withhold assistance for a country 
for a fiscal year under paragraph (1) shall not apply if Cuba--
                  (A) has ratified the Treaty on the Non-
                Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (21 UST 483) 
                or the Treaty of Tlatelelco, and Cuba is in 
                compliance with the requirements of either such 
                Treaty;
                  (B) has negotiated and is in compliance with 
                full-scope safeguards of the International 
                Atomic Energy Agency not later than two years 
                after ratification by Cuba of such Treaty; and
                  (C) incorporates and is in compliance with 
                internationally accepted nuclear safety 
                standards.
    (3) The Secretary of State shall prepare and submit to the 
Congress each year a report containing a description of the 
amount of nuclear fuel and related assistance and credits 
provided by any country, or any entity of a country, to Cuba 
during the preceding year, including the terms of each transfer 
of such fuel, assistance, or credits.

                        Chapter 3--Appointments

    Sec. 301. General Provisions Relating to Appointments.--(a) 
Only citizens of the United States may be appointed to the 
Service, other than for service abroad as a consular agent or 
as a foreign national employee.
    (b) [The Secretary] (1) The Secretary shall prescribe, as 
appropriate, written, oral, physical, foreign language, and 
other examinations for appointment to the Service (other than 
as a chief of mission or ambassador at large).
    (2) The Secretary shall ensure that the Board of Examiners 
for the Foreign Service annually offers the oral assessment 
examinations described in paragraph (1) in cities, chosen on a 
rotating basis, located in at least three different time zones 
across the United States.
    (c) The fact that an applicant for appointment as a Foreign 
Service officer candidate is a veteran or disabled veteran 
shall be considered an affirmative factor in making such 
appointments. As used in this subsection, the term ``veteran or 
disabled veteran'' means an individual who is a preference 
eligible under subparagraph (A), (B), or (C) of section 2108(3) 
of title 5, United States Code.
    (d)(l) Members of the Service serving under career 
appointments are career members of the Service. Members of the 
Service serving under limited appointments are either career 
candidates or non-career members of the Service.
    (2) Chiefs of mission, ambassadors at large, and ministers 
serve at the pleasure of the President.
    (3) An appointment as a Foreign Service officer is a career 
appointment. Foreign Service employees serving as career 
candidates or career members of the Service shall not represent 
to the income tax authorities of the District of Columbia or 
any other State or locality that they are exempt from income 
taxation on the basis of holding a Presidential appointment 
subject to Senate confirmation or that they are exempt on the 
basis of serving in an appointment whose tenure is at the 
pleasure of the President.

    Sec. 308. Recall and Reemployment of Career Members.--(a) 
Whenever the Secretary determines that the needs of the Service 
so require, the Secretary may recall any retired career member 
of the Service for active duty in the same personnel category 
as that member was serving at the time of retirement. A retired 
career member may be recalled under this section to any 
appropriate salary class or rate, except that a retired career 
member of the Senior Foreign Service may not be recalled to a 
salary class higher than the one in which the member was 
serving at the time of retirement unless appointed to such 
higher class by the President, by and with the advice and 
consent of the Senate.
    (b) Former career members of the Service may be reappointed 
under section 302(a)(l) or 303, without regard to section 306, 
in a salary class which is appropriate in light of the 
qualifications and experience of the individual being 
reappointed. Former career tenured members of the Service 
seeking reappointment, who were separated for other than cause 
for up to five years prior to the date of the enactment of this 
sentence, shall not be required to accept a directed first 
assignment as a condition of reappointment.

         Chapter 5--Classification of Positions and Assignments

    Sec. 501. Classification of Positions.--The Secretary shall 
designate and classify positions in the Department and at 
Foreign Service posts which are to be occupied by members of 
the Service (other than by chiefs of mission and ambassadors at 
large). Positions designated under this section are excepted 
from the competitive service. If a position designated under 
this section is unfilled for more than 365 calendar days, such 
position may be filled, as appropriate, on a temporary basis, 
in accordance with section 309. Position classifications under 
this section shall be established, without regard to chapter 51 
of title 5, United States Code, in relation to the salaries 
established under chapter 4. In classifying positions at 
Foreign Service posts abroad, the Secretary shall give 
appropriate weight to job factors relating to service abroad 
and to the compensation practices applicable to United States 
citizens employed abroad by United States corporations.
    Sec. 502. Assignments to Foreign Service Positions.--(a)(1) 
The Secretary (with the concurrence of the agency concerned) 
may assign a member of the Service to any position classified 
under section 501 in which that member is eligible to serve 
(other than as chief of mission or ambassador at large), and 
may assign a member from one such position to another such 
position as the needs of the Service may require.
    (2) In making assignments under paragraph (1), the 
Secretary shall assure that a member of the Service is not 
assigned to or prohibited from being assigned to a position at 
a post in a particular geographic area, or domestically, in a 
position working on issues relating to a particular country or 
geographic area, on the basis of the race, ethnicity, or 
religion of that member.
    (b) Positions designated as Foreign Service positions 
normally shall be filled by the assignment of members of the 
Service to those positions. Subject to that limitation--
          (1) Foreign Service positions may be filled by the 
        assignment for specified tours of duty of employees of 
        the Department and, under interagency agreements, 
        employees of other agencies; and
          (2) Senior Foreign Service positions may also be 
        filled by other members of the Service.
    (c) The President may assign a career member of the Service 
to serve as charge d'affaires or otherwise as the head of a 
mission (or as the head of a United States office abroad which 
is designated under section 102(a)(3) by the Secretary of State 
as diplomatic in nature) for such period as the public interest 
may require.
    (d) The Secretary of State, in conjunction with the heads 
of the other agencies utilizing the Foreign Service personnel 
system, shall implement policies and procedures to insure that 
Foreign Service officers and members of the Senior Foreign 
Service of all agencies are able to compete for chief of 
mission positions and have opportunities on an equal basis to 
compete for assignments outside their areas of specialization.

                   Chapter 6--Promotion and Retention

    Sec. 601. Promotions.--(a) Career members of the Senior 
Foreign Service are promoted by appointment under section 
302(a) to a higher salary class in the Senior Foreign Service. 
Members of the Senior Foreign Service serving under career 
candidate appointments or noncareer appointments are promoted 
by appointment under section 303 to a higher salary class in 
the Senior Foreign Service. Foreign Service officers, and 
Foreign Service personnel who are assigned to a class in the 
Foreign Service Schedule, are promoted by appointment under 
section 302(a) as career members of the Senior Foreign Service 
or by assignment under section 404 to a higher salary class in 
the Foreign Service Schedule.
    (b) Except as provided in section 606(a), promotions of--
          (1) members of the Senior Foreign Service, and
          (2) members of the Service assigned to a salary class 
        in the Foreign Service Schedule (including promotions 
        of such members into the Senior Foreign Service).
shall be based upon the recommendations and rankings of 
selection boards established under section 602, except that the 
Secretary may by regulation specify categories of career 
members, categories of career candidates, and other members of 
the Service assigned to salary classes in the Foreign Service 
Schedule who may receive promotions on the basis of 
satisfactory performance.
    (c)(1) Promotions into the Senior Foreign Service shall be 
recommended by selection boards only from among career members 
of the Service assigned to class 1 in the Foreign Service 
Schedule who request that they be considered for promotion into 
the Senior Foreign Service. The Secretary shall prescribe the 
length of the period after such a request is made (within any 
applicable time in class limitation established under section 
607(a)) during which such members may be considered by 
selection boards for entry into the Senior Foreign Service. A 
request by a member for consideration for promotion into the 
Senior Foreign Service under this subsection may be withdrawn 
by the member, but if it is withdrawn, that member may not 
thereafter request consideration for promotion into the Senior 
Foreign Service.
    (2) Decisions by the Secretary on the numbers of 
individuals to be promoted into and retained in the Senior 
Foreign Service shall be based upon a systematic long-term 
projection of personnel flows and needs designed to provide--
                  (A) a regular, predictable flow of 
                recruitment in the Service;
                  (B) effective career development patterns to 
                meet the needs of the Service; and
                  (C) a regular, predictable flow of talent 
                upward through the ranks and into the Senior 
                Foreign Service.
          (3) The affidavit requirements of sections 3332 and 
        3333(a) of title 5, United States Code, shall not apply 
        with respect to a member of the Service who has 
        previously complied with those requirements and who 
        subsequently is promoted by appointment to any class in 
        the Senior Foreign Service without a break in service.
          (6)(A) The [promotion] promotion, on or after January 
        1, 2017, of any [individual joining the Service on or 
        after January 1, 2017,] Foreign Service officer, 
        appointed under section 302(a)(1), who has general 
        responsibility for carrying out the functions of the 
        Service to the Senior Foreign Service shall be 
        contingent upon such individual completing at least one 
        tour in--
                          (i) a global affairs bureau; or
                          (ii) a global affairs position.
                  (B) The requirements under subparagraph (A) 
                shall not apply if the Secretary certifies that 
                the individual proposed for promotion to the 
                Senior Foreign Service--
                          (i) has met all other requirements 
                        applicable to such promotion; and
                          (ii) was unable to complete a tour in 
                        a global affairs bureau or global 
                        affairs position because there was not 
                        a reasonable opportunity for such 
                        individual to be assigned to such a 
                        position.
                  (C) In this paragraph--
                          (i) the term ``global affairs 
                        bureau'' means any bureau of the 
                        Department that is under the 
                        responsibility of--
                                  (I) the Under Secretary for 
                                Economic Growth, Energy, and 
                                Environment;
                                  (II) the Under Secretary for 
                                Arms Control and International 
                                Security Affairs;
                                  (III) the Under Secretary for 
                                Management;
                                  (IV) the Assistant Secretary 
                                for International Organization

                          (ii) the term ``global affairs 
                        position'' means any position funded 
                        with amounts appropriated to the 
                        Department under the heading 
                        ``Diplomatic Policy and Support''.

    Sec. 603. Basis for Selection Board Review.--(a) 
Recommendations and rankings by selection boards shall be based 
upon records of the character, ability, conduct, quality of 
work, industry, experience, dependability, usefulness, and 
general performance of members of the Service. Such records may 
include reports prepared by or on behalf of the Inspector 
General of the Department of State and the Foreign Service, 
performance evaluation reports of supervisors, records of 
commendations, reports of language test scores from the Foreign 
Service Institute, awards, reprimands, and other disciplinary 
actions, and ( with respect to members of the Senior Foreign 
Service) records of current and prospective assignments.
    (b) Precepts for selection boards shall include a 
description of the needs of the Service for performance 
requirements, skills, and qualities, which are to be considered 
in recommendations for promotion. The precepts for selection 
boards responsible for recommending promotions into and within 
the Senior Foreign Service shall emphasize performance which 
demonstrates the strong policy formulation capabilities, 
executive leadership qualities, and highly developed functional 
and area expertise, which are required for the Senior Foreign 
Service. The precepts for selection boards shall include, 
whether the member of the Service or the member of the Senior 
Foreign Service, as the case may be, has demonstrated--
          (1) a willingness and ability to explain United 
        States policies in person and through the media when 
        occupying positions for which such willingness and 
        ability is, to any degree, an element of the member's 
        duties, or
          (2) other experience in public diplomacy.
    (c)(1) A member of the Service or member of the Senior 
Foreign Service whose performance will be evaluated by a 
selection board may submit to such selection board a gap memo 
in advance of such evaluation.
    (2) Members of a selection board may not consider as 
negative the submission of a gap memo by a member described in 
paragraph (1) when evaluating the performance of such member.
    (3) In this subsection, the term ``gap memo'' means a 
written record, submitted to a selection board in a standard 
format established by the Director General of the Foreign 
Service, which indicates and explains a gap in the record of a 
member of the Service or member of the Senior Foreign Service 
whose performance will be evaluated by such selection board, 
which gap is due to personal circumstances, including for 
health, family, or other reason as deter mined by the Director 
General in consultation with the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign 
Relations of the Senate.

    Sec. 610. Separation for Cause; Suspension.--(a)(1) The 
Secretary may decide to separate any member from the Service 
for such cause as will promote the efficiency of the Service.
          (2)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), 
        whenever the Secretary decides under paragraph (1) to 
        separate, on the basis of misconduct, any member of the 
        Service (other than a United States citizen employed 
        under section 311 of the Foreign Service Act of 1980 
        who is not a family member) who either--
                          (i) is serving under a career 
                        appointment, or
                          (ii) is serving under a limited 
                        appointment, the member may not be 
                        separated from the Service until the 
                        member receives a hearing before the 
                        Foreign Service Grievance Board and the 
                        Board decides that cause for separation 
                        has been established, unless the member 
                        waives, in writing, the right to such a 
                        hearing, or the member's appointment 
                        has expired, whichever is sooner.
          (B) The right to a hearing in subparagraph (A) does 
        not apply in the case of an individual who has been 
        convicted of a crime for which a sentence of 
        imprisonment of more than one year may be imposed.
          (3) If the Board decides that cause for separation 
        has not been established, the Board may direct the 
        Department to pay reasonable attorneys' fees to the 
        extent and in the manner provided by section 
        1107(b)(5). The hearing provided under this paragraph 
        shall be conducted in accordance with the hearing 
        procedures applicable to grievances under section 1106 
        and shall be in lieu of any other administrative 
        procedure authorized or required by this or any other 
        Act. Section 1110 shall apply to proceedings under this 
        paragraph.
          (4) Notwithstanding the hearing required by paragraph 
        (2), at the time that the Secretary decides to separate 
        a member of the Service for cause, the member shall be 
        placed on leave without pay. If the member does not 
        waive the right to a hearing, and the Board decides 
        that cause for separation has not been established, the 
        member shall be reinstated with back pay.
    (b) Any participant in the Foreign Service Retirement and 
Disability System who is separated under subsection (a) shall 
be entitled to receive a refund as provided in section 815 of 
the contributions made by the participant to the Foreign 
Service Retirement and Disability Fund. Except in cases where 
the Secretary determines that separation was based in whole or 
in part on the ground of disloyalty to the United States, a 
participant who has at least 5 years of service credit toward 
retirement under the Foreign Service Retirement and Disability 
System (excluding military and naval service) may elect, in 
lieu of such refund, to an annuity, computed under section 806, 
commencing at age 60.
    (c)(l) In order to promote the efficiency of the Service, 
the Secretary may [suspend] indefinitely suspend without duties 
a member of the Service when--
                  (A) the member's security clearance is 
                suspended; or
                  (B) there is reasonable cause to believe that 
                the member has committed a crime for which a 
                sentence of imprisonment may be imposed.
    (2) Any member of the Service for whom a suspension is 
proposed under this subsection shall be entitled to--
                  (A) written notice stating the specific 
                reasons for the proposed suspension;
                  (B) a reasonable time to respond orally and 
                in writing to the proposed suspension;
                  (C) obtain at such member's own expense 
                representation by an attorney or other 
                representative; and
                  (D) a final written decision, including the 
                specific reasons for such decision, as soon as 
                practicable.
    (3) Any member suspended under this subsection may file a 
grievance in accordance with the procedures applicable to 
grievances under chapter 11 of title I.
    (4) If a grievance is filed pursuant to paragraph (3)--
                  (A) the review by the Foreign Service 
                Grievance Board shall be limited to a 
                determination of whether the provisions of 
                paragraphs (1) and (2) have been fulfilled; and
                  (B) the Board may not exercise the authority 
                provided under section 1106(8).
          (5) Any member of the Service suspended from duties 
        under this subsection may be suspended without pay only 
        after a final written decision is provided to such 
        member under paragraph (2).
          (6) If no final written decision under paragraph (2) 
        has been provided within one calendar year of the date 
        the suspension at issue was proposed, not later than 30 
        days thereafter the Secretary of State shall report to 
        the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
        Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations 
        of the Senate in writing regarding the specific reasons 
        for such delay.

                        receiving notice of the proposed 
                        suspension.
                  [(B) The terms ``suspend'' and ``suspension''

FISHERMEN'S PROTECTIVE ACT OF 1967

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *


    Sec. 7. (a) The Secretary, upon receipt of an application 
filed with him at any time after the effective date of this 
section by the owner of any vessel of the United States which 
is documented or certificated as a commercial fishing vessel, 
shall enter into an agreement with such owner subject to the 
provisions of this section and such other terms and conditions 
as the Secretary deems appropriate. Such agreement shall 
provide that, if said vessel is seized by a foreign country and 
detained under the conditions of section 2 of this Act, the 
Secretary shall guarantee--
          (1) the owner of such vessel for all actual costs, 
        except those covered by section 3 of this Act, incurred 
        by the owner during the seizure and detention period 
        and as a direct result thereof, as determined by the 
        Secretary, resulting (A) from any damage to, or 
        destruction of, such vessel, or its fishing gear or 
        other equipment, (B) from the loss or confiscation of 
        such vessel, gear, or equipment, or (C) from dockage 
        fees or utilities;
          (2) the owner of such vessel and its crew for the 
        market value of fish caught before seizure of such 
        vessel and confiscated or spoiled during the period of 
        detention; and
          (3) the owner of such vessel and its crew for not to 
        exceed 50 per centum of the gross income lost as a 
        direct result of such seizure and detention, as 
        determined by the Secretary of State, based on the 
        value of the average catch per day's fishing during the 
        three must recent calendar years immediately preceding 
        such seizure and detention of the vessel seized, or, if 
        such experience is not available, then of all 
        commercial fishing vessels of the United States engaged 
        in the same fishery as that of the type and size of the 
        seized vessel.
          (b) Payments made by the Secretary under paragraphs 
        (2) and (3) of subsection (a) of this section shall be 
        distributed by the Secretary in accordance with the 
        usual practices and procedures of the particular 
        segment of the United States commercial fishing 
        industry to which the seized vessel belongs relative to 
        the sale of fish caught and the distribution of the 
        proceeds of such sale.
          (c) The Secretary shall from time to time establish 
        by regulation fees which shall be paid by the owners of

        pursuant to this paragraph to delay the establishment 
        of a Board.

    (a) The Secretary of State shall transmit to the Congress 
the text of any international agreement (including the text of

reduced to writing), other than a treaty, to which the United 
States is a party as soon as practicable after such agreement 
has entered into force with respect to the United States but in 
no event later than [sixty] 30 days thereafter. However, any 
such agreement the immediate public disclosure of which would, 
in the opinion of the President, be prejudicial to the national 
security of the United States shall not be so transmitted to 
the Congress but shall be transmitted to the Committee on 
Foreign Relations of the Senate and the [Committee on 
International Relations] Committee on Foreign Affairs of the 
House of Representatives under an appropriate injunction of

completely the reasons for the late transmittal.]
    (b) Each department or agency of the United States 
Government that enters into any international agreement 
described in subsection (a) on behalf of the United States, 
shall designate a Chief International Agreements Officer, who--
          (1) shall be a current employee of such department or 
        agency;
          (2) shall serve concurrently as Chief International 
        Agreements Officer; and

        compliance with subsection (a) to transmit the text of 
        any international agreement to the Department of State 
        expeditiously after such agreement has been signed.
    (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an 
international agreement may not be signed or otherwise 
concluded on behalf of the United States without prior 
consultation with the Secretary of State. Such consultation may 
encompass a class of agreements rather than a particular 
agreement.
    (d)(1) The Secretary of State shall annually submit to 
Congress a report that contains an index of all international 
agreements, listed by country, date, title, and summary of each 
such agreement (including a description of the duration of 
activities under the agreement and the agreement itself), that 
the United States--
                  (A) has signed, proclaimed, or with reference 
                to which any other final formality has been 
                executed, or that has been extended or 
                otherwise modified, during the preceding 
                calendar year; and
                  (B) has not been published, or is not 
                proposed to be published, in the compilation 
                entitled ``United States Treaties and Other 
                International Agreements''.
    (2) The report described in paragraph (1) may be submitted 
in classified form.
    (e)(l) Subject to paragraph (2), the Secretary of State 
shall determine for and within the executive branch whether an 
arrangement constitutes an international agreement within the 
meaning of this section.
    (2)(A) An arrangement shall constitute an international 
agreement within the meaning of this section (other than 
subsection (c)) irrespective of the duration of activities 
under the arrangement or the arrangement itself.
    (B) Arrangements that constitute an international agreement 
within the meaning of this section (other than subsection (c)) 
include the following:
                          (i) A bilateral or multilateral 
                        counterterrorism agreement.
                          (ii) A bilateral agreement with a 
                        country that is subject to a 
                        determination under section 6(j)(1)(A) 
                        of the Export Administration Act of 
                        1979 (50 U.S.C. App. 2405(j)(1)(A)), 
                        section 620A(a) of the Foreign 
                        Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 
                        2371(a)), or section 40(d) of the Arms 
                        Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2780(d)).
    (f) The President shall, through the Secretary of State, 
promulgate such rules and regulations as may be necessary to 
carry out this section.
    (g) It is the sense of Congress that the executive branch 
should not prescribe or otherwise commit to or include specific 
legislative text in a treaty or executive agreement unless 
Congress has authorized such action.
