The Richard C. Holbrooke Award for Diplomacy

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State

                To honor the legacy of one of America's greatest 
                diplomats and to reaffirm our commitment to diplomacy, 
                I hereby direct you to establish the Richard C. 
                Holbrooke Award for Diplomacy, to be awarded annually. 
                You are authorized to take all necessary steps to 
                establish an appropriate award program under the 
                auspices of your department to recognize distinguished 
                Americans who have made especially meritorious 
                contributions to diplomacy.

                Sixty days prior to presenting the award, you shall 
                present to me a list of nominees, from which I will 
                select up to five individuals or groups of individuals 
                to receive this award. In preparing your list of 
                nominees, you may consider the recommendations of 
                appropriate individuals and groups, coordinate your 
                nominations in consultation with other executive 
                agencies as appropriate, and may include 
                recommendations for posthumous awards.

                You are authorized and directed to publish this 
                memorandum in the Federal Register.
