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 States. The Department determines and analyzes 
the facts relating to American overseas interests, makes recommendations

and agreements with foreign nations; speaks for the United States in the

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

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 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.
