SEC. 6301. DATA-INFORMED DIPLOMACY. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) In a rapidly evolving and digitally interconnected global 
landscape, access to and maintenance of reliable, readily avail-
able data is key to informed decisionmaking and diplomacy 
and therefore should be considered a strategic asset. 
(2) In order to achieve its mission in the 21st century, 
the Department must adapt to these trends by maintaining
H. R. 2670—850 
and providing timely access to high-quality data at the time 
and place needed, while simultaneously cultivating a data- 
savvy workforce. 
(3) Leveraging data science and data analytics has the 
potential to improve the performance of the Department’s 
workforce by providing otherwise unknown insights into pro-
gram deficiencies, shortcomings, or other gaps in analysis. 
(4) While innovative technologies such as artificial intel-
ligence and machine learning have the potential to empower 
the Department to analyze and act upon data at scale, systema-
tized, sustainable data management and information synthesis 
remain a core competency necessary for data-driven decision-
making.

Council (EDC) as the areas of most critical need for the Depart-
ment, including Cultivating a Data Culture, Accelerating 
Decisions through Analytics, Establishing Mission-Driven Data 
Management, and Enhancing Enterprise Data Governance, are 
laudable and will remain critical as the Department develops 
into a data-driven agency. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) the Department should prioritize the recruitment and 
retainment of top data science talent in support of its data- 
informed diplomacy efforts as well as its broader modernization 
agenda; and 
(2) the Department should strengthen data fluency among 
its workforce, promote data collaboration across and within 
its bureaus, and enhance its enterprise data oversight.
