SEC. 1002. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON IMPORTANCE OF DE-
PARTMENT OF STATE’S WORK. 
It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) United States global engagement is key to 
a stable and prosperous world; 
(2) United States leadership is indispensable in 
light of the many complex and interconnected 
threats facing the United States and the world;
(3) diplomacy and development are critical tools 
of national power, and full deployment of these tools 
is vital to United States national security; 
(4) challenges such as the global refugee and 
migration crises, terrorism, historic famine and food 
insecurity, and fragile or repressive societies cannot 
be addressed without sustained and robust United 
States diplomatic and development leadership; 
(5) the United States Government must use all 
of the instruments of national security and foreign 
policy at its disposal to protect United States citi-
zens, promote United States interests and values, 
and support global stability and prosperity; 
(6) United States security and prosperity de-
pend on having partners and allies that share our in-
terests and values, and these partnerships are nur-
tured and our shared interests and values are pro-
moted through United States diplomatic engage-
ment, security cooperation, economic statecraft, and 
assistance that helps further economic development, 
good governance, including the rule of law and 
democratic institutions, and the development of 
shared responses to natural and humanitarian disas-
ters;
(7) as the United States Government agencies 
primarily charged with conducting diplomacy and 
development, the Department and the United States 
Agency for International Development (USAID) re-
quire sustained and robust funding to carry out this 
important work, which is essential to our ability to 
project United States leadership and values and to 
advance United States interests around the world; 
(8) the work of the Department and USAID 
makes the United States and the world safer and 
more prosperous by alleviating global poverty and 
hunger, fighting HIV/AIDS and other infectious dis-
eases, strengthening alliances, expanding educational 
opportunities for women and girls, promoting good 
governance and democracy, supporting anti-corrup-
tion efforts, driving economic development and 
trade, preventing armed conflicts and humanitarian 
crises, and creating American jobs and export oppor-
tunities; 
(9) the Department and USAID are vital na-
tional security agencies, whose work is critical to the 
projection of United States power and leadership 
worldwide, and without which Americans would be 
less safe, United States economic power would be di-
minished, and global stability and prosperity would 
suffer; 
(10) investing in diplomacy and development 
before conflicts break out saves American lives while 
also being cost-effective; and 
(11) the contributions of personnel working at 
the Department and USAID are extraordinarily val-
uable and allow the United States to maintain its 
leadership around the world.

SEC. 1008. IMPORTANCE OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS TRAINING 
TO NATIONAL SECURITY. 
(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that—
(1) the Department is a crucial national secu-
rity agency, whose employees, both Foreign and Civil 
Service, require the best possible training 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 of State’s investment of 
time and resources with respect to the training and 
education of its personnel is considerably below the 
level of other Federal departments and agencies in 
the national security field, and falls well below the 
investments many allied and adversarial countries 
make in the development of their diplomats; 
(3) the Department faces increasingly complex 
and rapidly evolving challenges, many of which are 
science and technology-driven, and which demand 
the continual, high-quality training and education of 
its personnel; 
(4) the Department must move beyond reliance 
on 
‘‘on-the-job 
training’’ 
and 
other 
informal 
mentorship practices, which lead to an inequality in 
skillset development and career advancement oppor-
tunities, often particularly for minority personnel, 
and towards a robust professional tradecraft train-
ing continuum that will provide for greater equality
in career advancement and increase minority partici-
pation in the senior ranks; 
(5) the Department’s Foreign Service Institute 
and other training facilities should seek to substan-
tially increase its educational and training offerings 
to Department personnel, including developing new 
and innovative educational and training courses, 
methods, programs, and opportunities; and 
(6) consistent with existing Department gift ac-
ceptance authority and other applicable laws, the 
Department and Foreign Service Institute may ac-
cept funds and other resources from foundations, 
not-for-profit corporations, and other appropriate 
sources to help the Department and the Institute en-
hance the quantity and quality of training offerings, 
especially in the introduction of new, innovative, and 
pilot model courses. 
(b) TRAINING FLOAT.—Not later than 90 days after 
the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of 
State shall develop and submit to the appropriate congres-
sional committees a strategy to establish a ‘‘training float’’ 
to allow for up to 15 percent of the Civil and Foreign 
Service to participate in long-term training at any given 
time. The strategy should identify steps necessary to en-
sure implementation of the training priorities identified in
subsection (c), sufficient training capacity and opportuni-
ties are available to Civil and Foreign Service officers, eq-
uitable distribution of long-term training opportunities to 
Civil and Foreign Service officers, and any additional re-
sources or authorities necessary to facilitate such a train-
ing float, including programs at the George P. Schultz Na-
tional Foreign Affairs Training Center, the Foreign Serv-
ice Institute, the Foreign Affairs Security Training Cen-
ter, and other facilities or programs operated by the De-
partment of State. The strategy shall identify which types 
of training would be prioritized, the extent (if any) to 
which such training is already being provided to Civil and 
Foreign Service officers by the Department of State, any 
factors incentivizing or disincentivizing such training, and 
why such training cannot be achieved without Civil and 
Foreign Service officers leaving the workforce. In addition 
to training opportunities provided by the Department, the 
strategy shall consider training that could be provided by 
the other United States Government training institutions, 
as well as non-governmental educational institutions. The 
strategy shall consider approaches to overcome disincen-
tives to pursuing long-term training. 
(c) PRIORITIZATION.—In order to provide the Civil 
and Foreign Service with the level of education and train-
ing needed to effectively advance United States interests 
across the globe, the Department of State should— 
(1) increase its offerings— 
(A) of virtual instruction to make training 
more accessible to personnel deployed through-
out the world; or 
(B) at partner organizations to provide 
useful outside perspectives to Department per-
sonnel; 
(2) offer courses utilizing computer-based or as-
sisted simulations, allowing civilian officers to lead 
decision-making in a crisis environment; and 
(3) consider increasing the duration and ex-
panding the focus of certain training courses, includ-
ing— 
(A) the A-100 orientation course for For-
eign Service officers, and 
(B) the chief of mission course to more ac-
curately reflect the significant responsibilities 
accompanying such role. 
(d) OTHER AGENCY RESPONSIBILITIES.—Other na-
tional security agencies should increase the enrollment of 
their personnel in courses at the Foreign Service Institute 
and other Department of State training facilities to pro-
mote a whole-of-government approach to mitigating na-
tional security challenges.
