Political Affairs of Authorities Regarding Congressional Reporting 
Functions

    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 
assign to the Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, to the 
extent authorized by law, the function of approving submission of 
reports to the Congress.
    This delegation covers the decision to submit to the Congress both 
one-time reports and recurring reports, including but not limited to 
those recurring reports identified in Section 1 of Executive Order

the Under Secretary to make waivers, certifications, determinations, 
findings, or other such statutorily required substantive actions that 
may be called for in connection with the submission of a report. The 
Under Secretary shall be responsible for referring to the Secretary, 
the Deputy Secretary, or the Deputy Secretary for Management and 
Resources any matter on which action would appropriately be taken by 
such official.
    Any authority covered by this delegation may also be exercised by 
the Deputy Secretary and the Deputy Secretary for Management and 
Resources, to the extent authorized by law, or by the Secretary of 
State.
    This Delegation of Authority supersedes Delegation of Authority 
280, dated May 2, 2005. This delegation does not repeal delegations to 
other Department officials.
