U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE

19. The President should propose to the Congress
a plan to reorganize the State Department,
creating five Under Secretaries, with
responsibility for overseeing the regions of
Africa, Asia, Europe, Inter-America, and Near
East/South Asia, and redefining the
responsibilities of the Under Secretary for
Global Affairs. These new Under Secretaries would
operate in conjunction with the existing Under
Secretary for Management.

20. The President should propose to the Congress
that the U.S. Agency for International
Development be consolidated into the State
Department.

21. The Secretary of State should give greater
emphasis to strategic planning in the State
Department and link it directly to the allocation
of resources through the establishment of a
Strategic Planning, Assistance, and Budget
Office.

22. The President should ask Congress to
appropriate funds to the State Department in a
single integrated Foreign Operations budget,
which would include all the foreign assistance
programs and activities as well as all the
expenses for personnel and operations.

23. The President should ensure that Ambassadors
have the requisite area knowledge as well as
leadership and management skills to function
effectively. He should therefore appoint an
independent, bipartisan advisory panel to the
Secretary of State to vet ambassadorial
appointees, career and non-career alike.

NATIONAL SECURITY EDUCATION ACT

39. Congress should significantly expand the
National Security Education Act (NSEA) to include
broad support for social sciences, humanities,
and foreign languages in exchange for military
and civilian service to the nation.

FOREIGN SERVICE

41. The President should order the overhauling of
the Foreign Service system by revamping the
examination process, dramatically improving the
level of on-going professional education, and
making leadership a core value of the State
Department.

CIVIL SERVICE

42. The President should order the elimination of
recruitment hurdles for the Civil Service, ensure
a faster and easier hiring process, and see to it
that strengthened professional education and
retention programs are worthy of full funding by
Congress.

43. The Executive Branch should establish a
National Security Service Corps (NSSC) to enhance
civilian career paths, and to provide a corps of
policy experts with broad- based experience
throughout the Executive Branch.
