Delegation of Authority to the Under Secretary for Political 
Affairs

    By virtue of the authority vested in me as Secretary of State by 
the laws of the United States, including 22 U.S.C. 2651a, I hereby 
delegate to the Under Secretary for Political Affairs, to the extent 
authorized by law, all authorities and functions vested in the 
Secretary of State or the head of agency by any act, order, 
determination, delegation of authority, regulation, or executive order, 
now or hereafter issued. This delegation includes all authorities and 
functions that have been or may be delegated or redelegated to other 
Department officials but does not repeal delegations to such officials.
    This delegation shall apply only when the Secretary, the Deputy 
Secretary, and the Deputy Secretary for Management and Resources are 
absent or otherwise unavailable or when the Secretary or either Deputy 
Secretary requests that the Under Secretary exercise such authorities 
and functions.
    Notwithstanding this delegation of authority, the Secretary of 
State, the Deputy Secretary of State and the Deputy Secretary of State 
for Management and Resources may exercise any function or authority 
delegated by this delegation.
    This Delegation of Authority supersedes Delegation of Authority 
284, dated August 26, 2005.
    This memorandum shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: February 13, 2009.
Hillary Rodham Clinton,
Secretary of State, Department of State.
