Bill Coins
By the Associated Press

A bill tightening language
requirements for ambassadors
and other Foreign Service on
GERS was passed yesterday by
the Senate and sent to the
House.
It allows the State Depart
ment five years in which to pro-
vide increased foreign Ian
guage training facilities pre-
paratory to requiring new
standards for diplomatic APP
pointments.
With exceptions permitted
for special and emergency con-
ditions. the proposed new policy
requires that each diplomat as
signed abroad have q useful
knowledge Of the language or
dialect Of the country. as well
AZ Of its history. culture. eco
nomy, and politics.
The Foreign Relations Com
mittee wrote the requirements
into q bill revising the For
eign Service Act and improv-
ing retirement benefits Of
career personnel to conform to
civil service standards.
"One of the most common
and justified criticisms of the
Foreign Service today is the
low level Of language COM
potency throughout the serv-
ice." the committee report
said.
The bill offers added pay
for proficiency In what the
committee called "esoteric for
eign languages" Of Asia and
Africa.
The Senate also passed q
second bill to provide q 10 per
cent increase in annuities Of
retired Foreign Service officers
and their survivors.
