 <title>Overseas Staffing: Rightsizing Approaches Slowly Taking Hold but More Action Needed to Coordinate and Carry Out Efforts</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>In 2001, the administration identified the rightsizing of
embassies and consulates as one of the President&apos;s management	 
priorities. Rightsizing initiatives include: aligning staff	 
overseas with foreign policy priorities and security and other	 
constraints; demonstrating results by moving administrative	 
functions from posts to regional or central locations; and	 
eliminating duplicative functions at posts. This report (1)	 
discusses the size and recent trends in the U.S. government	 
overseas presence, (2) assesses the congressionally mandated	 
Office of Rightsizing&apos;s progress in managing the U.S.		 
government&apos;s overseas rightsizing efforts, and (3) assesses the  
process and outcomes of the legislatively mandated rightsizing	 
reviews of overseas posts.</abstract>
