        ``(iv) Any other failure of controls or performance of a nature 
    so serious or compelling as to warrant placement of the contractor 
    on the watch list.
    ``(B) If the Assistant Secretary determines, based on evidence 
described in any of clauses (i) through (iv) of subparagraph (A), that 
the ability of a contractor to responsibly perform is meaningfully 
impaired, the Assistant Secretary shall place the contractor on the 
watch list.
    ``(C) The Assistant Secretary shall establish written policies for 
the consideration of contractors for placement on the watch list,

SEC. 5703. HELLO GIRLS CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL.
    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
        (1) On April 6, 1917, the United States declared war against 
    Germany. As a historically neutral nation, the United States was 
    unprepared to fight a technologically modern conflict overseas. The 
    United States called upon American Telephone and Telegraph 
    (referred to in this section as ``AT&T'') to provide equipment and 
    trained personnel for the Army Signal Corps in France. AT&T 
    executives in Army uniform served at home under the provisions of 
    the Act entitled ``An Act for making further and more effectual 
    provision for the national defense, and for other purposes.'', 
    approved June 3, 1916 (referred to in this section as the 
    ``National Defense Act of 1916''), which allowed for the induction 
    of individuals with specialized skills into a reserve force.
        (2) When General John Pershing sailed for Europe in May of 
    1917, as head of the American Expeditionary Forces (referred to in 
    this section as the ``AEF''), he took telephone operating equipment 
    with him in recognition of the inadequacy of European circuitry and 
    with the understanding that telephones would play a key role in 
    battlefield communications for the first time in the history of 
    war.
        (3) From May to November of 1917, the AEF struggled to develop 
    the telephone service necessary for the Army to function under 
    battlefield conditions. Monolingual infantrymen from the United 
    States were unable to connect calls rapidly or communicate 
    effectively with their French counterparts to put calls through 
    over toll lines that linked one region of the country with another. 
    The Army found that the average male operator required 60 seconds 
    to make a connection. That rate was unacceptably slow, especially 
    for operational calls between command outposts and the front lines.
        (4) During this time, in the United States, telephone operating 
    was largely sex-segregated. Hired for their speed in connecting 
    calls, women filled 85 percent of the telephone operating positions 
    in the United States. It took the average female operator 10 
    seconds to make a connection.
        (5) On November 8, 1917, General Pershing cabled the War 
    Department and wrote, ``On account of the great difficulty of 
    obtaining properly qualified men, request organization and dispatch 
    to France a force of women telephone operators all speaking French 
    and English equally well.''. To begin, General Pershing requested 
    100 women under the command of a commissioned captain, writing that 
    ``All should have allowances of Army nurses and should be 
    uniformed.''.
        (6) The War Department sent press releases to newspapers across 
    the United States to recruit women willing to serve for the 
    duration of the war and face the hazards of submarine warfare and 
    aerial bombardment. These articles emphasized that patriotic women 
    would be ``full-fledged soldier[s] under the articles of war'' and 
    would ``do as much to help win the war as the men in khaki who go 
    `over the top.'''. All women selected would take the Army oath.
        (7) More than 7,600 women volunteered for the 100 positions 
    described in paragraph (5) and the first recruits took the Army 
    oath on January 15, 1918.
        (8) Like nurses and doctors at the time, female Signal Corps 
    members had relative rather than traditional ranks and were ranked 
    as Operator, Supervisor, or Chief Operator. When promoted, the 
    women were required to swear the Army oath again.
        (9) Telephone operators were the first women to serve as 
    soldiers in non-medical classifications and the job of the 
    operators was to help win the war, not to mitigate the harms of the 
    war. In popular parlance, they were known as the ``Hello Girls''.
        (10) Signal Corps Operators wore Army uniforms and Army 
    insignia always, as well as standard-issue identity disks in case 
    of death, and were subject to court martial for infractions of the 
    military code.
        (11) Unbeknownst to the women operators and their immediate 
    officers, the legal counsel of the Army ruled internally on March 
    20, 1918, that the women were not actually soldiers but contract 
    employees, even though the women had not seen or signed any 
    contracts. Military code allowed only for the induction of men and 
    the code remained unchanged despite the orders of General Pershing. 
    Nevertheless, legal counsel also recognized that the National 
    Defense Act of 1916, which allowed for the induction of members of 
    the telephone industry of the United States into the Armed Forces, 
    imposed no gender restrictions.
        (12) Four days later, on March 24, 1918, the first contingent 
    of operators began their official duties in France. The operators 
    arrived before most infantrymen of the Armed Forces in order to 
    facilitate logistics and deployment and spent their first night in 
    Paris under German bombardment.
        (13) After the arrival of the operators, telephone service in 
    France improved immediately, as calls tripled from 13,000 to 36,000 
    per day.
        (14) The Army quickly recruited, trained, and deployed 5 
    additional contingents of female Signal Corps operators. With these 
    personnel, calls increased to 150,000 per day.
        (15) In addition to standard telephone operating, bilingual 
    Signal Corps members provided simultaneous translation between 
    officers from France and officers from the United States, who were 
    communicating by telephone.
        (16) The AEF fought their first major battles in the last 2 
    months of the war. By that point, the Signal Corps considered the 
    contributions of women to be so essential that, in telephone 
    exchanges closest to the front line, the Army exclusively used 
    women, in rotating 12-hour shifts. In the rear, the Army 
    established rotating 8-hour shifts and gave male soldiers the 
    overnight shift when telephone traffic was slower.
        (17) Seven bilingual operators--
            (A) served at the Battles of St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne 
        under the immediate command of General Pershing;
            (B) staffed the Operations Boards through which orders to 
        advance, fire, and retreat were delivered to soldiers in the 
        trenches, to artillery units on alert, and to pilots awaiting 
        orders at French airfields; and
            (C) were awarded a ``Defensive Sector Clasp'' for the 
        Meuse-Argonne operation.
        (18) The Chief Operator supervising the Hello Girls, Grace 
    Banker of Passaic, New Jersey, was awarded the Distinguished 
    Service Medal. Out of 16,000 eligible Signal Corps officers, Banker 
    was one of only 18 individuals so honored.
        (19) Thirty additional operators received special 
    commendations, many signed by General Pershing himself, for 
    ``exceptionally meritorious and conspicuous services'' in ``Advance 
    Sections'' of the conflict.
        (20) The war ended on November 11, 1918. As of that date, 223 
    female operators served in France and had connected 26,000,000 
    calls for the AEF.
        (21) The Chief Signal Officer of the Army Signal Corps wrote in 
    his official report 2 days after the date on which the war ended 
    that ``a large part of the success of the communications of this 
    Army is due to . . . a competent staff of women operators.''.
        (22) After the war ended, some women were ordered to Coblenz in 
    Germany for the occupation of that country and to Paris for the 
    Paris Peace Treaty of 1919 to continue telephone operations, 
    sometimes in direct support of President Woodrow Wilson.
        (23) Two operators, Corah Bartlett and Inez Crittenden, died in 
    France in the service of the United States and were buried there in 
    military cemeteries with military ceremonies. Those operators died 
    of the same influenza pandemic that killed more soldiers of the 
    Armed Forces than combat operations.
        (24) Women of the Army Signal Corps were ineligible for 
    discharge until formal release. Because of their role in logistics, 
    those women were among the last soldiers to come home to the United 
    States. The last Signal Corps operators returned from France in 
    January of 1920.
        (25) Upon arrival in the United States, the Army informed 
    female veterans that they had performed as civilians, not soldiers, 
    even though operators had served in Army uniform in a theater of 
    war surrounded by men who were similarly engaged.
        (26) Despite the objections of General George Squier, the top-
    ranking officer in the Signal Corps, the Army denied Signal Corps 
    women the veterans' benefits granted to male soldiers and female 
    nurses, such as--
            (A) hospitalization for disabilities incurred in the line 
        of duty;
            (B) cash bonuses;
            (C) soldiers' pensions;
            (D) flags on their coffins; and
            (E) the Victory Medals promised them in France.
        (27) For the next 60 years, female veterans, led by Merle Egan 
    from Montana, petitioned Congress more than 50 times for their 
    recognition. In 1977, under the sponsorship of Senator Barry 
    Goldwater, Congress passed legislation to retroactively acknowledge 
    the military service of the Women's Airforce Service Pilots 
    (referred to in this section as ``WASPs'') of World War II and 
    ``the service of any person in any other similarly situated group 
    the members of which rendered service to the Armed Forces of the 
    United States in a capacity considered civilian employment or 
    contractual service at the time such service was rendered''.
        (28) On November 23, 1977, President Jimmy Carter signed the 
    legislation described in paragraph (27) into law as the GI Bill 
    Improvement Act of 1977 (Public Law 95-202; 91 Stat. 1433).
        (29) The Signal Corps telephone operators applied for, and were 
    granted, status as veterans in 1979.
        (30) Only 33 of the operators who had returned home after the 
    war were still alive to receive their Victory Medals and official 
    discharge papers, which were finally awarded in 1979.
        (31) One of the women, Olive Shaw from Massachusetts, returned 
    to the United States after the war, where she worked on the 
    professional staff of Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers. Shaw lived 
    to receive her honorable discharge and was the first burial when 
    the Massachusetts National Cemetery opened on October 11, 1980. 
    Shaw's uniform is on display at the National World War I Museum and 
    Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri.
        (32) Upon receipt of her honorable discharge at a ceremony in 
    her home in Marine City, Michigan, ``Hello Girl'' Oleda Joure 
    Christides raised the paper to her lips and kissed it. The only 
    thing Christides ever wanted from the Federal Government was a flag 
    on her coffin.
        (33) On July 1, 2009, President Barack Obama signed into law 
    Public Law 111-40 (123 Stat. 1958), which awarded the WASPs the 
    Congressional Gold Medal for their service to the United States.
        (34) For their role as pioneers who paved the way for all women 
    in uniform, and for service that was essential to victory in World 
    War I, the ``Hello Girls'' merit similar recognition.
    (b) Congressional Gold Medal.--
        (1) Award authorized.--The Speaker of the House of 
    Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate shall 
    make appropriate arrangements for the award, on behalf of Congress, 
    of a single gold medal of appropriate design in honor of the female 
    telephone operators of the Army Signal Corps (commonly known as the 
    ``Hello Girls''), in recognition of those operators'--
            (A) pioneering military service;
            (B) devotion to duty; and
            (C) 60-year struggle for--
                (i) recognition as soldiers; and
                (ii) veterans' benefits.
        (2) Design and striking.--For the purposes of the award

                     TITLE LXXI--WORKFORCE MATTERS

SEC. 7101. COMPETITIVE LOCAL COMPENSATION PLAN.
    It is the sense of Congress that--
        (1) the effectiveness and stability of United States foreign 
    missions are linked to the dedication and expertise of locally 
    employed staff; and
        (2) ensuring competitive compensation packages benchmarked 
    against the local market is essential not only to retain valuable 
    talent but also to reflect a commitment to employment practices 
    abroad.
SEC. 7102. STRATEGY FOR TARGETED RECRUITMENT OF CIVIL SERVANTS.
    Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this 
Act, the Secretary shall submit to the appropriate congressional 
committees and the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate and the 
Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives a strategy 
for targeted and proactive recruitment to fill open civil service 
positions, focusing on recruiting from schools or organizations, and on 
platforms targeting those with relevant expertise related to such 
positions.
SEC. 7103. ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS.
    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
        (1) Foreign Service personnel at the Department serve with 
    distinction in austere places and under challenging conditions 
    around the world with limited healthcare availability;
        (2) the use of paper medical records, which require Foreign 
    Service personnel to carry files containing protected health 
    information from post to post, limits the availability of their 
    health information to Department medical personnel during critical 
    health incidents;
        (3) electronic medical records are necessary, particularly as 
    the Department opens new embassies in the South Pacific, thousands 
    of miles from the nearest Department medical officer, who may not 
    have access to up-to-date personnel medical files;
        (4) the lack of electronic medical records is even more 
    important for mental health records, as the Department only has a 
    small number of regional medical officer psychiatrists and relies 
    heavily on telehealth for most Foreign Service personnel; and
        (5) due to the critical need for electronic medical records, it 
    is imperative that the Department address the situation quickly and 
    focus on secure commercially available or other successful systems 
    utilized by public and private sector organizations with a track 
    record of successfully implementing large-scale projects of this 
    type.
    (b) Electronic Medical Records Requirement.--Not later than 
December 31, 2027, the Secretary shall have fully implemented an 
electronic medical records process or system for all Foreign Service 
personnel and their Eligible Family Members that eliminates reliance on 
paper medical records and includes appropriate safeguards to protect 
personal privacy.
    (c) Report on Implementation.--
        (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
    enactment of this Act, and every 180 days thereafter, the Secretary 
    shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees and the 
    Committee on Appropriations of the Senate and the Committee on 
    Appropriations of the House of Representatives a report on the 
    progress made towards meeting the requirement under subsection (b).
        (2) Elements.--The report required under paragraph (1) shall 
    include the following elements:
            (A) An updated timeline for implementation.
            (B) An estimated completion date.
            (C) The amounts expended to date on the required electronic 
        medical records system.
            (D) The estimated amount needed to complete the system.
        (3) Termination of requirement.--
            (A) In general.--The reporting requirement under paragraph 
        (1) shall cease upon the earlier of--
                (i) notification to the appropriate congressional 
            committees that electronic medical records have been 
            completely implemented for all Foreign Service personnel; 
            and
                (ii) the date that is 5 years after the date of the 
            enactment of this Act.
            (B) Report required in case of non-implementation.--If the 
        Department has not completely implemented electronic medical 
        records within 5 years of the date of the enactment of this 
        Act, the final report submitted under paragraph (1) shall 
        include an explanation for the lack of completion and steps the 
        Department will take to finalize the electronic medical records 
        process.
SEC. 7104. PORTABILITY OF PROFESSIONAL LICENSES.
    (a) In General.--Chapter 9 of the Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22

United States license and such member of the Foreign Service or spouse 
relocates his or her residency because of an assignment or detail to a 
location that is not in the jurisdiction of the licensing authority 
that issued the covered license, such covered license shall be 
considered valid at a similar scope of practice and in the discipline

        license; and
            ``(B) every other licensing authority that has issued to 
        the member of the Foreign Service or spouse a license valid at 
        a similar scope of practice and in the discipline applied in 
        the jurisdiction of such licensing authority; and
        ``(3) submits to the authority of the licensing authority in 
    the new jurisdiction for the purposes of standards of practice, 
    discipline, and fulfillment of any continuing education 
    requirements.
    ``(b) Interstate Licensure Compacts.--If a member of the Foreign 
Service or spouse of a member of the Foreign Service is licensed and 
able to operate in multiple jurisdictions through an interstate 
licensure compact, with respect to services provided in the 
jurisdiction of the interstate licensure compact by a licensee covered 
by such compact, the member of the Foreign Service or spouse of a 
member of the Foreign Service shall be subject to the requirements of 
the compact or the applicable provisions of law of the applicable State 
and not this section.
    ``(c) Covered License Defined.--In this section, the term `covered 
license' means a professional license or certificate--
        ``(1) that is in good standing with the licensing authority 
    that issued such professional license or certificate;
        ``(2) that the member of the Foreign Service or spouse of a 
    member of the Foreign Service has actively used during the two 
    years immediately preceding the relocation described in subsection 
    (a); and
        ``(3) that is not a license to practice law.''.
    (b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of contents in section 2 of the 
Foreign Service Act of 1980 is amended by inserting after the item 
relating to section 908 the following new item:

    ``(k) Work Hours Flexibility.--Students participating in the

per week to accommodate their academic schedules, provided that the 
total duration of the internship remains consistent with program

authorized to establish a mentoring and coaching program that pairs

    directed Foreign Service employees and hiring bureaus, allowing for 
    a more strategic alignment of workforce and resources.
        (2) Incorporation of lessons learned from the previous stable-
    pair matching bidding pilot framework referred to as ``iMatch'' but 
    applied more expansively to include non-directed assignments up 
    through FS-01 positions, taking advantage of efficiency benefits 
    such as tandem assignment functionalities.
        (3) Mechanisms to ensure transparency, efficiency, 
    effectiveness, accountability, and flexibility in the assignment 
    process, while maintaining equal opportunities for all employees in 
    the Foreign Service.
        (4) An independent auditing process to ensure adherence to 
    established rules, effectiveness in meeting the Department's needs, 
    and prevention of bias or manipulation, including through the use 
    of protected categories in making assignment decisions.
    (b) Consideration of Certain Promotion Issues.--In parallel with 
assignment process modernization efforts, the Secretary shall--
        (1) assess whether any point systems tied to promotion 
    incentives should consider service in hard-to-fill or critical 
    positions; and

    process into winter and summer cycles is necessary or efficient 
    compared to stable matching processes.

date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall provide the 
appropriate congressional committees a report on the implementation of
