OF 
STATE AUTHORITIES AND AC-
TIVITIES 
Subtitle A—United States Public 
Diplomacy 
SEC. 201. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following 
findings: 
(1) The United States possesses strong and deep 
connections with the peoples of the world separate 
from its relations with their governments. These con-
nections can be a major asset in the promotion of 
United States interests and foreign policy. 
(2) Misinformation and hostile propaganda in 
these countries regarding the United States and its 
foreign policy endanger the interests of the United 
States. Existing efforts to counter such misinforma-
tion and propaganda are inadequate and must be 
greatly enhanced in both scope and substance. 
(3) United States foreign policy has been ham-
pered by an insufficient consideration of the impor-
tance of public diplomacy in the formulation and im-
plementation of that policy and by the underuse of 
modern communication techniques. 
(4) The United States should have an oper-
ational strategy and a coordinated effort regarding 
the utilization of its public diplomacy resources. 
(5) The development of an operational strategy 
and a coordinated effort by United States agencies re-
garding public diplomacy would greatly enhance 
United States foreign policy. 
(6) The Secretary of State has undertaken efforts 
to ensure that of the new positions established at the 
Department of State after September 30, 2002, a sig-
nificant proportion are for public diplomacy. 
(b) PURPOSES.—It is the purpose of this subtitle to 
enhance in scope and substance, redirect, redefine, and reor-
ganize United States public diplomacy. 
SEC. 202. PUBLIC DIPLOMACY RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE

‘‘(a) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary of State shall make

ment of State, in coordination with the United States Inter-

sive strategy for the use of public diplomacy resources and

Federal agencies involved in public diplomacy. Public di-
plomacy efforts shall be addressed to developed and devel-
oping countries, to select and general audiences, and shall 
utilize all available media to ensure that the foreign policy 
of the United States is properly explained and understood 
not only by the governments of countries but also by their 
peoples, with the objective of enhancing support for United 
States foreign policy. The Secretary shall ensure that the 
public diplomacy strategy of the United States is cohesive 
and coherent and shall aggressively and through the most 
effective mechanisms counter misinformation and propa-
ganda concerning the United States. The Secretary shall 
endeavor to articulate the importance in American foreign 
policy of the guiding principles and doctrines of the United 
States, particularly freedom and democracy. The Secretary, 
in coordination with the Board of Governors of the United 
States International Broadcasting Agency, shall develop 
and articulate long-term measurable objectives for United 
States public diplomacy. The Secretary is authorized to

ernment, United States nongovernmental organiza-
tions and private entities, and the American people 
is disseminated widely and prominently, particu-
larly, to the extent practicable, within countries and 
regions that receive such assistance. The Secretary 
shall ensure that, to the extent practicable, projects 
funded by the United States Agency for International 
Development (USAID) that do not involve commod-
ities, including projects implemented by private vol-
untary organizations, are identified as being sup-
ported by the United States of America, as American 
Aid or provided by the American people.
‘‘(2) REPORT TO CONGRESS.—Not later than 120 
days after the end of each fiscal year, the Secretary 
shall submit a report to the Committee on Inter-
national Relations of the House of Representatives 
and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate 
on efforts to disseminate information concerning as-
sistance described in paragraph (1) during the pre-
ceding fiscal year. Each such report shall include spe-
cific information concerning all instances in which 
the United States Agency for International Develop-
ment has not identified projects in the manner pre-
scribed in paragraph (1) because such identification 
was not practicable. Any such report shall be sub-
mitted in unclassified form, but may include a classi-
fied appendix.

propriate, the Secretary may recruit experts in public 
diplomacy and related fields from the private sector. 
(2) While actively serving with the reserve corps, 
individuals are prohibited from engaging in activities 
directly or indirectly intended to influence public 
opinion within the United States to the same degree 
that employees of the Department engaged in public 
diplomacy are so prohibited.

public diplomacy strategy worldwide and by region, includ-
ing the allocation of resources and an evaluation and assess-
ment of the progress in, and barriers to, achieving the goals

On the basis of such review, the Secretary of State, in co-
ordination with all appropriate Federal agencies shall de-
