The Department of State advises the President in the formulation and 
execution of foreign policy and promotes the long-range security and 
well-being of the United

[[Page 298]]

States. The Department determines and analyzes the facts relating to 
American overseas interests, makes recommendations on policy and future 
action, and takes the necessary steps to carry out established policy. 
In so doing, the Department engages in continuous consultations with the 
American public, the Congress, other U.S. departments and agencies, and 
foreign governments; negotiates treaties and agreements with foreign 
nations; speaks for the United States in the United Nations and other 
international organizations in which the United States participates; and 
represents the United States at international conferences.

The Department of State was established by act of July 27, 1789, as the 
Department of Foreign Affairs and was renamed Department of State by act 
of September 15, 1789 (22 U.S.C. 2651 note).
Secretary of State  The Secretary of State is responsible for the 
overall direction, coordination, and supervision of U.S. foreign 
relations and for the interdepartmental activities of the U.S. 
Government abroad. The Secretary is the first-ranking member of the 
Cabinet, is a member of the National Security Council, and is in charge 
of the operations of the Department, including the Foreign Service.

Foreign Service  To a great extent the future of our country depends on 
the relations we have with other countries, and those relations are 
conducted principally by the U.S. Foreign Service. Trained 
representatives stationed worldwide provide the President and the 
Secretary of State with much of the raw material from which foreign 
policy is made and with the recommendations that help shape it.
    Ambassadors are the personal representatives of the President and 
report to the President through the Secretary of State. Ambassadors have 
full responsibility for implementation of U.S. foreign policy by any and 
all U.S. Government personnel within their

[[Page 303]]

country of assignment, except those under military commands. Their 
responsibilities include negotiating agreements between the United 
States and the host country, explaining and disseminating official U.S. 
policy, and maintaining cordial relations with that country's government 
and people.
