            (2) Exception.--The transition required under paragraph (1) 
        shall not apply to unpaid internship programs of the Department

                that the conversion of such internship program to a 
                compensated internship program would not be consistent 
                with effective management goals, submits a report 
                explaining such determination to--
                            (i) the appropriate congressional 
                        committees;
                            (ii) the Committee on Appropriations of the

                (A) shall--
                            (i) describe the reasons why converting an 
                        unpaid internship program of the Department to 
                        an internship program that offers compensation 
                        would not be consistent with effective 
                        management goals; and

SEC. 206. FOREIGN AFFAIRS TRAINING.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Department is a crucial national security agency, 
        whose employees, both Foreign Service and Civil Service, 
        require the best possible training and professional development 
        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 faces increasingly complex and rapidly 
        evolving challenges, many of which are science- and technology-
        driven, and which demand continual, high-quality training and 
        professional development of its personnel;
            (3) the new and evolving challenges of national security in 
        the 21st century necessitate the expansion of standardized 
        training and professional development opportunities linked to 
        equitable, accountable, and transparent promotion and 
        leadership practices for Department and other national security 
        agency personnel; and
            (4) consistent with gift acceptance authority of the 
        Department and other applicable laws in effect as of the date 
        of the enactment of this Act, the Department and the Foreign 
        Service Institute may accept funds and other resources from 
        foundations, not-for-profit corporations, and other appropriate 
        sources to help the Department and the Institute enhance the 
        quantity and quality of training and professional development 
        offerings, especially in the introduction of new, innovative, 
        and pilot model courses.

              TITLE III--EMBASSY SECURITY AND CONSTRUCTION

SEC. 301. AMENDMENTS TO SECURE EMBASSY CONSTRUCTION AND 
              COUNTERTERRORISM ACT OF 1999.

    (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Secure Embassy 
Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 2022''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism 
        Act of 1999 (title VI of division A of appendix G of Public Law 
        106-113) was a necessary response to bombings on August 7, 
        1998, at the United States embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and in 
        Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, that were destroyed by simultaneously 
        exploding bombs. The resulting explosions killed 220 persons 
        and injured more than 4,000 others. Twelve Americans and 40 
        Kenyan and Tanzanian employees of the United States Foreign 
        Service were killed in the attacks.
            (2) Those bombings, followed by the expeditionary 
        diplomatic efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, demonstrated the 
        need to prioritize the security of United States posts and 
        personnel abroad above other considerations.
            (3) Between 1999 and 2022, the risk calculus of the 
        Department impacted the ability of United States diplomats 
        around the world to advance the interests of the United States 
        through access to local populations, leaders, and places.
            (4) America's competitors and adversaries do not have the 
        same restrictions that United States diplomats have, especially 
        in critically important medium-threat and high-threat posts.
            (5) The Department's 2021 Overseas Security Panel report 
        states that--
                    (A) the requirement for setback and collocation of 
                diplomatic posts under paragraphs (2) and (3) of 
                section 606(a) of the Secure Embassy Construction and 
                Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (22 U.S.C. 4865(a)) has 
                led to skyrocketing costs of new embassies and 
                consulates; and
                    (B) the locations of such posts have become less 
                desirable, creating an extremely suboptimal nexus that 
                further hinders United States diplomats who are willing 
                to accept more risk in order to advance United States 
                interests.
    (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the setback and collocation requirements referred to in 
        subsection (b)(5)(A), even with available waivers, no longer 
        provide the security such requirements used to provide because 
        of advancement in technologies, such as remote controlled 
        drones, that can evade walls and other such static barriers;
            (2) the Department should focus on creating performance 
        security standards that--
                    (A) attempt to keep the setback requirements of 
                diplomatic posts as limited as possible; and
                    (B) provide diplomats access to local populations 
                as much as possible, while still providing a necessary 
                level of security;
            (3) collocation of diplomatic facilities is often not 
        feasible or advisable, particularly for public diplomacy spaces 
        whose mission is to reach and be accessible to wide sectors of 
        the public, including in countries with repressive governments, 
        since such spaces are required to permit the foreign public to 
        enter and exit the space easily and openly;
            (4) the Bureau of Diplomatic Security should--
                    (A) fully utilize the waiver process provided under 
                paragraphs (2)(B) and (3)(B) of section 606(a) of the 
                Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 
                1999 (22 U.S.C. 4865(a)); and
                    (B) appropriately exercise such waiver process as a 
                tool to right-size the appropriate security footing at 
                each diplomatic post rather than only approving waivers 
                in extreme circumstances;
            (5) the return of great power competition requires--
                    (A) United States diplomats to do all they can to 
                outperform our adversaries; and
                    (B) the Department to better optimize use of 
                taxpayer funding to advance United States national 
                interests; and
            (6) this section will better enable United States diplomats 
        to compete in the 21st century, while saving United States 
        taxpayers millions in reduced property and maintenance costs at 
        embassies and consulates abroad.
    (d) Definition of United States Diplomatic Facility.--Section 603 
of the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999 
(title VI of division A of appendix G of Public Law 106-113) is amended 
to read as follows:

``SEC. 603. UNITED STATES DIPLOMATIC FACILITY DEFINED.

    ``In this title, the terms `United States diplomatic facility' and 
`diplomatic facility' mean any chancery, consulate, or other office 
that--
            ``(1) is considered by the Secretary of State to be 
        diplomatic or consular premises, consistent with the Vienna 
        Convention on Diplomatic Relations, done at Vienna April 18, 
        1961, and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, done at 
        Vienna April 24, 1963, and was notified to the host government 
        as such; or
            ``(2) is otherwise subject to a publicly available 
        bilateral agreement with the host government (contained in the 
        records of the United States Department of State) that 
        recognizes the official status of the United States Government 
        personnel present at the facility.''.
    (e) Guidance and Requirements for Diplomatic Facilities.--
            (1) Guidance for closure of public diplomacy facilities.--
        Section 5606(a) of the Public Diplomacy Modernization Act of 
        2021 (Public Law 117-81; 22 U.S.C. 1475g note) is amended to 
        read as follows:
    ``(a) In General.--In order to preserve public diplomacy facilities 
that are accessible to the publics of foreign countries, not later than 
180 days after the date of the enactment of the Secure Embassy 
Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 2022, the Secretary of State 
shall adopt guidelines to collect and utilize information from each 
diplomatic post at which the construction of a new embassy compound or 
new consulate compound could result in the closure or co-location of an 
American Space that is owned and operated by the United States 
Government, generally known as an American Center, or any other public 
diplomacy facility under the Secure Embassy Construction and 
Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (22 U.S.C. 4865 et seq.).''.
            (2) Security requirements for united states diplomatic 
        facilities.--Section 606(a) of the Secure Embassy Construction 
        and Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (22 U.S.C. 4865(a)) is 
        amended--
                    (A) in paragraph (1)(A), by striking ``the threat'' 
                and inserting ``a range of threats, including that'';

                                the Secretary may identify'' after 
                                ``military commander''; and
                            (ii) in subparagraph (B)--
                                    (I) by amending clause (i) to read 
                                as follows:

                        appropriate, the head of each agency employing

                        Secretary in his or her discretion considers 
                        relevant, which may include security 
                        conditions.''; and
                                    (II) in clause (ii), by striking

SEC. 302. DIPLOMATIC SUPPORT AND SECURITY.

    (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Diplomatic 
Support and Security Act of 2022''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) A robust overseas diplomatic presence is part of an 
        effective foreign policy, particularly in volatile environments 
        where a flexible and timely diplomatic response can be decisive 
        in preventing and addressing conflict.
            (2) Diplomats routinely put themselves and their families 
        at great personal risk to serve their country overseas where 
        they face threats related to international terrorism, violent 
        conflict, and public health.
            (3) The Department has a remarkable record of protecting 
        personnel while enabling an enormous amount of global 
        diplomatic activity, often in unsecure and remote places and 
        facing a variety of evolving risks and threats. With support 
        from Congress, the Department of State has revised policy, 
        improved physical security through retrofitting and replacing 
        old facilities, deployed additional security personnel and 
        armored vehicles, and greatly enhanced training requirements 
        and training facilities, including the new Foreign Affairs 
        Security Training Center in Blackstone, Virginia.
            (4) Diplomatic missions rely on robust staffing and 
        ambitious external engagement to advance United States 
        interests as diverse as competing with China's malign influence 
        around the world, fighting terrorism and transnational 
        organized crime, preventing and addressing violent conflict and 
        humanitarian disasters, promoting United States businesses and 
        trade, protecting the rights of marginalized groups, addressing 
        climate change, and preventing pandemic disease.
            (5) Efforts to protect personnel overseas have often 
        resulted in inhibiting diplomatic activity and limiting 
        engagement between embassy personnel and local governments and 
        populations.
            (6) Given that Congress currently provides annual 
        appropriations in excess of $1,900,000,000 for embassy 
        security, construction, and maintenance, the Department should 
        be able ensure a robust overseas presence without inhibiting 
        the ability of diplomats to--
                    (A) meet outside United States secured facilities 
                with foreign leaders to explain, defend, and advance 
                United States priorities;
                    (B) understand and report on foreign political, 
                social, and economic conditions through meeting and 
                interacting with community officials outside of United 
                States facilities;
                    (C) provide United States citizen services; and
                    (D) collaborate and, at times, compete with other 
                diplomatic missions, particularly those, such as that 
                of the People's Republic of China, that do not have 
                restrictions on meeting locations.
            (7) Given these stakes, Congress has a responsibility to 
        empower, support, and hold the Department accountable for 
        implementing an aggressive strategy to ensure a robust overseas 
        presence that mitigates potential risks and adequately 
        considers the myriad direct and indirect consequences of a lack 
        of diplomatic presence.
    (c) Encouraging Expeditionary Diplomacy.--
            (1) Purpose.--Section 102(b) of the Diplomatic Security Act 
        of 1986 (22 U.S.C. 4801(b)) is amended--
                    (A) by amending paragraph (3) to read as follows:
            ``(3) to promote strengthened security measures, 
        institutionalize a culture of learning, and, in the case of 
        apparent gross negligence or breach of duty, recommend that the 
        Secretary investigate accountability for United States 
        Government personnel with security-related responsibilities;'';
                    (B) by redesignating paragraphs (4) and (5) as 
                paragraphs (5) and (6), respectively; and
                    (C) by inserting after paragraph (3) the following:
            ``(4) to support a culture of risk management, instead of 
        risk avoidance, that enables the Department of State to pursue 
        its vital goals with full knowledge that it is neither 
        desirable nor possible for the Department to avoid all 
        risks;''.
            (2) Briefings on embassy security.--Section 105(a)(1) of 
        the Diplomatic Security Act of 1986 (22 U.S.C. 4804(a)) is 
        amended--
                    (A) by striking ``any plans to open or reopen a 
                high risk, high threat post'' and inserting ``progress 
                towards opening or reopening a high risk, high threat 
                post, and the risk to national security of the 
                continued closure or any suspension of operations and
