 <title>Overseas Presence: Cost Analyses and Performance Measures Are Needed to Demonstrate the Full Potential of Providing Embassy Support Remotely</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>The President has emphasized the importance of safety,
efficiency, and accountability in U.S. government staffing	 
overseas by designating the achievement of a rightsized overseas 
presence as a part of the President&apos;s Management Agenda. One of  
the elements of rightsizing involves relocating certain 	 
administrative support functions from overseas posts to the	 
United States or regional centers overseas, which can provide	 
cheaper, safer, or more effective support. This report (1)	 
reviews State&apos;s efforts in providing administrative support from 
remote locations, (2) identifies the challenges it faces in doing
so, and (3) outlines the potential advantages and concerns	 
associated with providing support remotely.</abstract>
