    <DELETED>TITLE III--EMBASSY SECURITY AND CONSTRUCTION</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 301. AMENDMENTS TO SECURE EMBASSY CONSTRUCTION AND 
              COUNTERTERRORISM ACT OF 1999.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the 
``Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 
2022''.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following 
findings:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) The Secure Embassy Construction and 
        Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (title VI of division A of 
        appendix G of Public Law 106-113) was a necessary response to 
        bombings on August 7, 1998, at the United States embassies in 
        Nairobi, Kenya, and in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, that were 
        destroyed by simultaneously exploding bombs. The resulting 
        explosions killed 220 persons and injured more than 4,000 
        others. Twelve Americans and 40 Kenyan and Tanzanian employees 
        of the United States Foreign Service were killed in the 
        attacks.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) Those bombings, followed by the expeditionary 
        diplomatic efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, demonstrated the 
        need to prioritize the security of United States posts and 
        personnel abroad above other considerations.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) Between 1999 and 2022, the risk calculus of 
        the Department impacted the ability of United States diplomats 
        around the world to advance the interests of the United States 
        through access to local populations, leaders, and 
        places.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4) America's competitors and adversaries do not 
        have the same restrictions that United States diplomats have, 
        especially in critically important medium-threat and high-
        threat posts.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (5) The Department's 2021 Overseas Security Panel 
        report states that--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) the requirement for setback and 
                collocation of diplomatic posts under paragraphs (2) 
                and (3) of section 606(a) of the Secure Embassy 
                Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (22 
                U.S.C. 4865(a)) has led to skyrocketing costs of new 
                embassies and consulates; and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) the locations of such posts have 
                become less desirable, creating an extremely suboptimal 
                nexus that further hinders United States diplomats who 
                are willing to accept more risk in order to advance 
                United States interests.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) the setback and collocation requirements 
        referred to in subsection (b)(5)(A), even with available 
        waivers, no longer provide the security such requirements used 
        to provide because of advancement in technologies, such as 
        remote controlled drones, that can evade walls and other such 
        static barriers;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) the Department should focus on creating 
        performance security standards that--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) attempt to keep the setback 
                requirements of diplomatic posts as limited as 
                possible; and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) provide diplomats access to local 
                populations as much as possible, while still providing 
                a necessary level of security;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) collocation of diplomatic facilities is often 
        not feasible or advisable, particularly for public diplomacy 
        spaces whose mission is to reach and be accessible to wide 
        sectors of the public, including in countries with repressive 
        governments, since such spaces are required to permit the 
        foreign public to enter and exit the space easily and 
        openly;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4) the Bureau of Diplomatic Security should--
        </DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) fully utilize the waiver process 
                provided under paragraphs (2)(B) and (3)(B) of section 
                606(a) of the Secure Embassy Construction and 
                Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (22 U.S.C. 4865(a)); 
                and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) appropriately exercise such waiver 
                process as a tool to right-size the appropriate 
                security footing at each diplomatic post rather than 
                only approving waivers in extreme 
                circumstances;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (5) the return of great power competition 
        requires--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) United States diplomats to do all they 
                can to outperform our adversaries; and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) the Department to better optimize use 
                of taxpayer funding to advance United States national 
                interests; and</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (6) this section will better enable United States 
        diplomats to compete in the 21st century, while saving United 
        States taxpayers millions in reduced property and maintenance 
        costs at embassies and consulates abroad.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (d) Definition of United States Diplomatic Facility.--
Section 603 of the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act 
of 1999 (title VI of division A of appendix G of Public Law 106-113) is 
amended to read as follows:</DELETED>

<DELETED>``SEC. 603. UNITED STATES DIPLOMATIC FACILITY

        be diplomatic or consular premises, consistent with the Vienna 
        Convention on Diplomatic Relations, done at Vienna April 18,

        Vienna April 24, 1963, and was notified to the host government 
        as such; or</DELETED>

compound or new consulate compound could result in the closure or co-
location of an American Space that is owned and operated by the United 
States Government, generally known as an American Center, or any other

Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (22 U.S.C. 4865 et seq.).''.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 302. DIPLOMATIC SUPPORT AND SECURITY.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the 
``Diplomatic Support and Security Act of 2022''.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following 
findings:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) A robust overseas diplomatic presence is part 
        of an effective foreign policy, particularly in volatile 
        environments where a flexible and timely diplomatic response 
        can be decisive in preventing and addressing 
        conflict.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) Diplomats routinely put themselves and their 
        families at great personal risk to serve their country overseas 
        where they face threats related to international terrorism, 
        violent conflict, and public health.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) The Department has a remarkable record of 
        protecting personnel while enabling an enormous amount of 
        global diplomatic activity, often in unsecure and remote places 
        and facing a variety of evolving risks and threats. With 
        support from Congress, the Department of State has revised 
        policy, improved physical security through retrofitting and 
        replacing old facilities, deployed additional security 
        personnel and armored vehicles, and greatly enhanced training 
        requirements and training facilities, including the new Foreign 
        Affairs Security Training Center in Blackstone, 
        Virginia.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4) Diplomatic missions rely on robust staffing 
        and ambitious external engagement to advance United States 
        interests as diverse as competing with China's malign influence 
        around the world, fighting terrorism and transnational 
        organized crime, preventing and addressing violent conflict and 
        humanitarian disasters, promoting United States businesses and 
        trade, protecting the rights of marginalized groups, addressing 
        climate change, and preventing pandemic disease.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (5) Efforts to protect personnel overseas have 
        often resulted in inhibiting diplomatic activity and limiting 
        engagement between embassy personnel and local governments and 
        populations.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (6) Given that Congress currently provides annual 
        appropriations in excess of $1,900,000,000 for embassy 
        security, construction, and maintenance, the Department should 
        be able ensure a robust overseas presence without inhibiting 
        the ability of diplomats to--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) meet outside United States secured 
                facilities with foreign leaders to explain, defend, and 
                advance United States priorities;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) understand and report on foreign 
                political, social, and economic conditions through 
                meeting and interacting with community officials 
                outside of United States facilities;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (C) provide United States citizen 
                services; and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (D) collaborate and, at times, compete 
                with other diplomatic missions, particularly those, 
                such as that of the People's Republic of China, that do 
                not have restrictions on meeting locations.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (7) Given these stakes, Congress has a 
        responsibility to empower, support, and hold the Department 
        accountable for implementing an aggressive strategy to ensure a 
        robust overseas presence that mitigates potential risks and 
        adequately considers the myriad direct and indirect 
        consequences of a lack of diplomatic presence.</DELETED>

SEC. 206. FOREIGN AFFAIRS TRAINING.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Department is a crucial national security agency, 
        whose employees, both Foreign Service and Civil Service, 
        require the best possible training and professional development 
        at every stage of their careers to prepare them to promote and 
        defend United States national interests and the health and 
        safety of United States citizens abroad;
            (2) the Department faces increasingly complex and rapidly 
        evolving challenges, many of which are science- and technology-
        driven, and which demand continual, high-quality training and 
        professional development of its personnel;
            (3) the new and evolving challenges of national security in 
        the 21st century necessitate the expansion of standardized 
        training and professional development opportunities linked to 
        equitable, accountable, and transparent promotion and 
        leadership practices for Department and other national security 
        agency personnel; and
            (4) consistent with gift acceptance authority of the 
        Department and other applicable laws in effect as of the date 
        of the enactment of this Act, the Department and the Foreign 
        Service Institute may accept funds and other resources from 
        foundations, not-for-profit corporations, and other appropriate 
        sources to help the Department and the Institute enhance the 
        quantity and quality of training and professional development 
        offerings, especially in the introduction of new, innovative, 
        and pilot model courses.

            (2) offer courses using computer-based or computer-assisted 
        simulations, allowing civilian officers to lead decision making

SEC. 215. POST-EMPLOYMENT RESTRICTIONS ON SENATE-CONFIRMED OFFICIALS AT 
              THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) Congress and the executive branch have recognized the 
        importance of preventing and mitigating the potential for 
        conflicts of interest following government service, including 
        with respect to senior United States officials working on 
        behalf of foreign governments; and
            (2) Congress and the executive branch should jointly 
        evaluate the status and scope of post-employment restrictions.
    (b) Restrictions.--Section 1 of the State Department Basic 
Authorities Act of 1956 (22 U.S.C. 2651a) is amended by adding at the 
end the following:

              TITLE III--EMBASSY SECURITY AND CONSTRUCTION

SEC. 301. AMENDMENTS TO SECURE EMBASSY CONSTRUCTION AND 
              COUNTERTERRORISM ACT OF 1999.

    (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Secure Embassy 
Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 2022''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism 
        Act of 1999 (title VI of division A of appendix G of Public Law 
        106-113) was a necessary response to bombings on August 7, 
        1998, at the United States embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and in 
        Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, that were destroyed by simultaneously 
        exploding bombs. The resulting explosions killed 220 persons 
        and injured more than 4,000 others. Twelve Americans and 40 
        Kenyan and Tanzanian employees of the United States Foreign 
        Service were killed in the attacks.
            (2) Those bombings, followed by the expeditionary 
        diplomatic efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, demonstrated the 
        need to prioritize the security of United States posts and 
        personnel abroad above other considerations.
            (3) Between 1999 and 2022, the risk calculus of the 
        Department impacted the ability of United States diplomats 
        around the world to advance the interests of the United States 
        through access to local populations, leaders, and places.
            (4) America's competitors and adversaries do not have the 
        same restrictions that United States diplomats have, especially 
        in critically important medium-threat and high-threat posts.
            (5) The Department's 2021 Overseas Security Panel report 
        states that--
                    (A) the requirement for setback and collocation of 
                diplomatic posts under paragraphs (2) and (3) of 
                section 606(a) of the Secure Embassy Construction and 
                Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (22 U.S.C. 4865(a)) has 
                led to skyrocketing costs of new embassies and 
                consulates; and
                    (B) the locations of such posts have become less 
                desirable, creating an extremely suboptimal nexus that 
                further hinders United States diplomats who are willing 
                to accept more risk in order to advance United States 
                interests.
    (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the setback and collocation requirements referred to in 
        subsection (b)(5)(A), even with available waivers, no longer 
        provide the security such requirements used to provide because 
        of advancement in technologies, such as remote controlled 
        drones, that can evade walls and other such static barriers;
            (2) the Department should focus on creating performance 
        security standards that--
                    (A) attempt to keep the setback requirements of 
                diplomatic posts as limited as possible; and
                    (B) provide diplomats access to local populations 
                as much as possible, while still providing a necessary 
                level of security;
            (3) collocation of diplomatic facilities is often not 
        feasible or advisable, particularly for public diplomacy spaces 
        whose mission is to reach and be accessible to wide sectors of 
        the public, including in countries with repressive governments, 
        since such spaces are required to permit the foreign public to 
        enter and exit the space easily and openly;
            (4) the Bureau of Diplomatic Security should--
                    (A) fully utilize the waiver process provided under 
                paragraphs (2)(B) and (3)(B) of section 606(a) of the 
                Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 
                1999 (22 U.S.C. 4865(a)); and
                    (B) appropriately exercise such waiver process as a 
                tool to right-size the appropriate security footing at 
                each diplomatic post rather than only approving waivers 
                in extreme circumstances;
            (5) the return of great power competition requires--
                    (A) United States diplomats to do all they can to 
                outperform our adversaries; and
                    (B) the Department to better optimize use of 
                taxpayer funding to advance United States national 
                interests; and
            (6) this section will better enable United States diplomats 
        to compete in the 21st century, while saving United States 
        taxpayers millions in reduced property and maintenance costs at 
        embassies and consulates abroad.
    (d) Definition of United States Diplomatic Facility.--Section 603 
of the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999 
(title VI of division A of appendix G of Public Law 106-113) is amended 
to read as follows:

``SEC. 603. UNITED STATES DIPLOMATIC FACILITY DEFINED.

    ``In this title, the terms `United States diplomatic facility' and 
`diplomatic facility' mean any chancery, consulate, or other office 
that--
            ``(1) is considered by the Secretary of State to be 
        diplomatic or consular premises, consistent with the Vienna 
        Convention on Diplomatic Relations, done at Vienna April 18, 
        1961, and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, done at 
        Vienna April 24, 1963, and was notified to the host government 
        as such; or
            ``(2) is otherwise subject to a publicly available 
        bilateral agreement with the host government (contained in the 
        records of the United States Department of State) that 
        recognizes the official status of the United States Government 
        personnel present at the facility.''.
    (e) Guidance and Requirements for Diplomatic Facilities.--
            (1) Guidance for closure of public diplomacy facilities.--
        Section 5606(a) of the Public Diplomacy Modernization Act of 
        2021 (Public Law 117-81; 22 U.S.C. 1475g note) is amended to 
        read as follows:
    ``(a) In General.--In order to preserve public diplomacy facilities 
that are accessible to the publics of foreign countries, not later than 
180 days after the date of the enactment of the Secure Embassy 
Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 2022, the Secretary of State 
shall adopt guidelines to collect and utilize information from each 
diplomatic post at which the construction of a new embassy compound or 
new consulate compound could result in the closure or co-location of an 
American Space that is owned and operated by the United States 
Government, generally known as an American Center, or any other public 
diplomacy facility under the Secure Embassy Construction and 
Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (22 U.S.C. 4865 et seq.).''.
            (2) Security requirements for united states diplomatic 
        facilities.--Section 606(a) of the Secure Embassy Construction 
        and Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (22 U.S.C. 4865(a)) is 
        amended--
                    (A) in paragraph (1)(A), by striking ``the threat'' 
                and inserting ``a range of threats, including that'';

                                the Secretary may identify'' after 
                                ``military commander''; and
                            (ii) in subparagraph (B)--
                                    (I) by amending clause (i) to read 
                                as follows:

                        appropriate, the head of each agency employing

                        Secretary in his or her discretion considers 
                        relevant, which may include security 
                        conditions.''; and
                                    (II) in clause (ii), by striking 
                                ``(ii) Chancery or consulate 
                                building.--'' and all that follows

SEC. 302. DIPLOMATIC SUPPORT AND SECURITY.

    (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Diplomatic 
Support and Security Act of 2022''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) A robust overseas diplomatic presence is part of an 
        effective foreign policy, particularly in volatile environments 
        where a flexible and timely diplomatic response can be decisive 
        in preventing and addressing conflict.
            (2) Diplomats routinely put themselves and their families 
        at great personal risk to serve their country overseas where 
        they face threats related to international terrorism, violent 
        conflict, and public health.
            (3) The Department has a remarkable record of protecting 
        personnel while enabling an enormous amount of global 
        diplomatic activity, often in unsecure and remote places and 
        facing a variety of evolving risks and threats. With support 
        from Congress, the Department of State has revised policy, 
        improved physical security through retrofitting and replacing 
        old facilities, deployed additional security personnel and 
        armored vehicles, and greatly enhanced training requirements 
        and training facilities, including the new Foreign Affairs 
        Security Training Center in Blackstone, Virginia.
            (4) Diplomatic missions rely on robust staffing and 
        ambitious external engagement to advance United States 
        interests as diverse as competing with China's malign influence 
        around the world, fighting terrorism and transnational 
        organized crime, preventing and addressing violent conflict and 
        humanitarian disasters, promoting United States businesses and 
        trade, protecting the rights of marginalized groups, addressing 
        climate change, and preventing pandemic disease.
            (5) Efforts to protect personnel overseas have often 
        resulted in inhibiting diplomatic activity and limiting 
        engagement between embassy personnel and local governments and 
        populations.
            (6) Given that Congress currently provides annual 
        appropriations in excess of $1,900,000,000 for embassy 
        security, construction, and maintenance, the Department should 
        be able ensure a robust overseas presence without inhibiting 
        the ability of diplomats to--
                    (A) meet outside United States secured facilities 
                with foreign leaders to explain, defend, and advance 
                United States priorities;
                    (B) understand and report on foreign political, 
                social, and economic conditions through meeting and 
                interacting with community officials outside of United 
                States facilities;
                    (C) provide United States citizen services; and
                    (D) collaborate and, at times, compete with other 
                diplomatic missions, particularly those, such as that 
                of the People's Republic of China, that do not have 
                restrictions on meeting locations.
            (7) Given these stakes, Congress has a responsibility to 
        empower, support, and hold the Department accountable for 
        implementing an aggressive strategy to ensure a robust overseas 
        presence that mitigates potential risks and adequately 
        considers the myriad direct and indirect consequences of a lack 
        of diplomatic presence.
    (c) Encouraging Expeditionary Diplomacy.--
            (1) Purpose.--Section 102(b) of the Diplomatic Security Act

        apparent gross negligence or breach of duty, recommend that the 
        Secretary investigate accountability for United States 
        Government personnel with security-related responsibilities;'';

        desirable nor possible for the Department to avoid all 
        risks;''.
            (2) Briefings on embassy security.--Section 105(a)(1) of 
        the Diplomatic Security Act of 1986 (22 U.S.C. 4804(a)) is

SEC. 303. ESTABLISHMENT OF UNITED STATES EMBASSIES IN VANUATU, 
              KIRIBATI, AND TONGA.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Pacific Islands are vital to United States national 
        security and national interests in the Indo-Pacific region and 
        globally.
            (2) The Pacific Islands region spans 15 percent of the 
        world's surface area and controls access to open waters in the 
        Central Pacific, sea lanes to the Western Hemisphere, supply 
        lines to United States forward-deployed forces in East Asia, 
        and economically important fisheries.
            (3) The Pacific Islands region is home to the State of 
        Hawaii, 11 United States territories, United States Naval Base 
        Guam, and United States Andersen Air Force Base.
            (4) Pacific Island countries cooperate with the United 
        States and United States partners on maritime security and 
        efforts to stop illegal, unreported, and destructive fishing.
            (5) The Pacific Islands are rich in biodiversity and are on 
        the frontlines of environmental challenges and climate issues.
            (6) The People's Republic of China (PRC) seeks to increase 
        its influence in the Pacific Islands region, including through 
        infrastructure development under the PRC's One Belt, One Road 
        Initiative and its new security agreement with the Solomon 
        Islands.
            (7) The United States Embassy in Papua New Guinea manages 
        the diplomatic affairs of the United States to the Republic of 
        Vanuatu, and the United States Embassy in Fiji manages the 
        diplomatic affairs of the United States to the Republic of 
        Kiribati and the Kingdom of Tonga.
            (8) The United States requires a physical diplomatic 
        presence in the Republic of Vanuatu, the Republic of Kiribati, 
        and the Kingdom of Tonga, to ensure the physical and 
        operational security of our efforts in those countries to 
        deepen relations, protect United States national security, and 
        pursue United States national interests.
            (9) Increasing the number of United States embassies 
        dedicated solely to a Pacific Island country demonstrates the 
        United States' ongoing commitment to the region and to the 
        Pacific Island countries.
    (b) Establishment of Embassies.--

                may pursue rent or purchase existing buildings or co-

                such as Australia and New Zealand.

        able to recover and, as appropriate, return the proceeds of 
        corruption;

        are fundamental to a thriving global community.
            (2) The rights to life, liberty, and security of the

        enacted policies or laws that would further target LGBTI 
        individuals.
            (5) Every year thousands of individuals around the world 
        are targeted for harassment, attack, arrest, and murder on the 
        basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
            (6) Those who commit crimes against LGBTI individuals often 
        do so with impunity, and are not held accountable for their 
        crimes.
            (7) Homophobic and transphobic statements by government 
        officials in many countries in every region of the world 
        promote negative public attitudes and can lead to violence 
        toward LGBTI individuals.
            (8) In many instances, police, prison, military, and 
        civilian government authorities have been directly complicit in 
        abuses aimed at LGBTI citizens, including arbitrary arrest, 
        torture, and sexual abuse.
            (9) Celebrations of LGBTI individuals and communities, such 
        as film festivals, Pride events, and demonstrations are often 
        forced underground due to inaction on the part of, or 
        harassment by, local law enforcement and government officials, 
        in violation of freedoms of assembly and expression.
            (10) Laws criminalizing consensual same-sex relations 
        severely hinder access to HIV/AIDS treatment, information, and 
        preventive measures for LGBTI individuals and families.
            (11) Many countries are making positive developments in the 
        protection of the basic human rights of LGBTI individuals.

                or decreases; and
            (2) any efforts by the President to coordinate with the
