Program and Financing (in millions of dollars)

Summary of Budget Authority and Outlays (in millions of dollars)

The program described below is financed by this appropriation, by fees for services, and by reimbursements from other agencies that are provided with administrative services overseas by the Department of State. In 2011, two-year funding is requested for this account, except for funds requested for Worldwide Security Protection (WSP). As in previous years, WSP funding is to remain available until expended. The 2011 request for this account also includes full funding request for State Department operations in Iraq and Afghanistan that are supported by the Diplomatic and Consular Programs (D&CP) account. In all of these programs, responsibilities range from policy setting to planning and design, implementation, operations and maintenance.

The funds requested for this account are subdivided into the following categories:

Human Resources.—This activity supports all American salaries at overseas and domestic United States diplomatic missions, including Department of State employees carrying out security protection activities. The professional development and training activity is a continuous process by which the Department ensures that its professionals have the skills, experience and judgment to fulfill its functions at all levels. Training programs are designed to provide employees with the specific functional area and language skills needed for the conduct of foreign relations in the Department and abroad. This activity also supports the management, recruitment, and performance evaluation of Foreign and Civil Service employees (particularly the recruitment of qualified minorities, including Hispanics and African Americans) and Foreign Service National staff.

Overseas Programs.—This activity provides funding for the operational programs of all the regional bureaus of the Department of State, which are responsible for managing United States foreign policy through bilateral and multilateral relationships. Funds made available for 2011 will support 267 United States embassies, consulates, and other diplomatic posts worldwide. Resources for this activity are used to provide for: the political and economic reporting and analysis of interests to the United States; the representation of U.S. diplomatic and national interests to countries abroad; and the bilateral and multilateral negotiation of U.S. foreign policy objectives, including the hosting of and participation in various international conferences, meetings and other multilateral activities in the United States and abroad. These resources also fund the conduct of U.S. diplomatic policy through political and multilateral affairs, economic and social affairs, international budgetary and management affairs, and participation in and hosting of various international conferences. Resources in this appropriation support the conduct of international informational, educational, cultural and exchange programs of the United States and advising the President and National Security Council on these matters. The resources in this activity are used to define, explain and advocate U.S. policies abroad and to seek to increase knowledge and understanding among foreign audiences of U.S. society and its values. Department posts also administer exchange-of-persons programs and conduct informational and cultural activities. This activity also encompasses medical programs for the Department of State, the Foreign Service and other U.S. Government departments and agencies overseas. Services are provided in Washington, D.C. as well as at missions worldwide, covering more than 90,000 employees, dependents and local hires. Centralized funding for travel and transportation of effects associated with the assignment, transfer, home leave and separation of the Department's personnel and dependents is also included in this activity.

Diplomatic Policy and Support.—This activity supports the operational programs of the functional bureaus of the Department of State, which includes providing overall policy direction, coordination, and program management among United States missions abroad in pursuit of regional and global foreign policy objectives, including the hosting of various international conferences and meetings in the United States and abroad. Resources also fund the management of U.S. participation in arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament negotiations and other verification and compliance activities, in addition to funds otherwise available for such purposes. This also encompasses overseas and American citizen services; the issuance of passports to U.S. citizens both here and abroad; and implementation of a coordinated strategy to improve consular systems and processes in support of U.S. border security, including sharing data with the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, the Intelligence Community, the Treasury Department, and the law enforcement community. Visa services involve: the issuance, denial, and adjudication of immigrant and non-immigrant visas; refugee processing; and visa fraud detection and investigation. American citizen services include the issuance of passports, and emergency and other assistance to American citizens abroad. Passport services include the issuance of passports in the United States and U.S. missions abroad and passport fraud detection and investigation. The information management activity in D&CP identifies resources that are used for the effective and efficient creation, collection, processing, transmission, dissemination, use, storage, and disposition of information required for the formulation and execution of foreign policy and for the conduct of daily business. Its requirements are driven by the informational needs of the President, the Secretary of State, the Department and its 267 missions, and approximately fifty Government agencies. Components of the information management activity include: telecommunications; classified information handling; unclassified data and word processing; pouch, mail, and publishing services; administration of an electronic and archival records management program; document classification and declassification; information security; information technology capital planning; and provision of information management services, as appropriate, to all branches of the Government and to the public. The Department manages large computer and communications centers to provide administrative, consular, economic, and political information. The computer systems support worldwide consular applications, financial management systems, management of building programs, and intelligence research systems. Administration and staff activities are also included in this area. These activities include normal domestic and overseas administrative services directly related to Department programs, such as:
—The direction and control of administration and management operations, representing and negotiating U.S. Government administrative matters with foreign officials, and reviewing and setting resource levels and priorities for various programs and bureaus financed by this appropriation.

The salaries paid to Department employees who carry out the security protection function worldwide are included in the Human Resources program activity. This activity identifies resources that are used in meeting security and counterterrorism responsibilities, both foreign and domestic. Covered in this activity are: security operations; engineering services, which related to the technical defense of U.S. Government personnel and establishments against electronic and physical attack; homeland security related activities; protection of dignitaries; and physical security operations.

Program and Financing (in millions of dollars)

Under the direction of the Secretary of State, the overall mission of the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) is to provide U.S. Diplomatic and Consular Missions abroad with safe, secure, and functional facilities that support the foreign policy objectives of the United States. Specific program functions include: providing guidance to posts, the regional bureaus and other foreign affairs agencies on the renovation, construction and operations of facilities; providing expert space and facilities planning; managing and overseeing the design, construction, and renovation of mission facilities; incorporating security features into overseas and domestic facilities; and ensuring the security of facilities during construction or renovation. In addition, OBO is responsible for establishing standards and policies for overseas housing, developing, in conjunction with posts, effective maintenance programs for post facilities, and monitoring and reporting the inventory of maintenance and backlog requirements. OBO also ensures the safety of the building occupants through the development of fire/life safety and accessibility compliance programs.

In 2011, the Department will collect charges for the seventh year of the Capital Security Cost Sharing Program. The Capital Security Cost Sharing Program has two main goals: accelerating the construction of approximately 150 new safe, secure and functional embassy and consulate compounds over fourteen years (2005-2018), at a cost of approximately $17.5 billion, and providing an incentive for all United States Government agencies to right-size their presence overseas.

The objective of the Asset Management Program is to obtain the best use of diplomatic and consular properties overseas through sale of surplus or underutilized properties and reinvestment of the proceeds in properties that provide a greater return to the U.S. Government and/or improve the safety of mission personnel. In lieu of appropriated resources, OBO uses asset sales proceeds for long-term capital investment to minimize the growth of U.S. Government leasehold requirements (through property acquisition) or to address a high-priority need for new construction or fit-out of leased space.

This appropriation also provides for capital expenditures necessary to preserve, maintain, repair, and plan for buildings owned or leased by the Department of State overseas or in the United States, including the renovation of the Main State building where required.
