    global war on terrorism. The Bureau formulates and implements policies
    on international security, diplomatic aspects of military operations,

    Population, Refugees, and Migration  The Bureau of Population, Refugees,

    The Bureau oversees the annual admissions of refugees to the United
    States for permanent resettlement, working closely with the Immigration
    and Naturalization Service, the Department of Health and Human Services,
    and various State and private voluntary agencies. It coordinates U.S.
    international population policy and promotes its goals through bilateral
    and multilateral cooperation. It works closely with the U.S. Agency for
    International Development, which administers U.S. international
    population programs. The Bureau also coordinates U.S. international
    migration policy within the U.S. Government and through bilateral and
    multilateral diplomacy.

    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 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.
        A listing of Foreign Service posts, together with addresses and
    telephone numbers and key personnel, appears in Key Officers of Foreign
    Service Posts--Guide for Business Representatives, which is for sale by
    the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington,
