In order to maximize the benefits and to minimize the adverse

consequences of science and technology in the conduct of foreign

United States:

developments in ways beneficial to the United States and other

knowledgeable in international affairs.

(4) In recognition of the environmental and technological

factors that change relations among countries and in recognition

agreements should be negotiated to ensure that -

and reciprocal.

Sec. 2664a. Protection of Civil Service employees

-STATUTE-

(a) Findings

The Congress finds that -

(1) the effectiveness and efficiency of the Department of State

is dependent not only on the contribution of Foreign Service

employees but equally on the contribution of the 42 percent of

the Department's employees who are employed under the Civil

Service personnel system;

(2) the contribution of these Civil Service employees has been

overlooked in the management of the Department and greater

equality of promotion, training, and career enhancement

opportunities should be accorded to the Civil Service employees

of the Department; and

(3) a goal of the Foreign Service Act of 1980 [22 U.S.C. 3901

et seq.] was to strengthen the contribution made by Civil Service

employees of the Department of State by creating a cadre of

experienced specialists and managers in the Department to provide

essential continuity.

(b) Equitable reduction of budget

The Secretary of State shall take all appropriate steps to assure

that the burden of cuts in the budget for the Department is not

imposed disproportionately or inequitably upon its Civil Service

employees.

Employees

There is established in the Office of the Secretary of State the

position of Ombudsman for Civil Service Employees. The position of

Ombudsman for Civil Service Employees shall be a career reserved

position within the Senior Executive Service. The Ombudsman for

Civil Service Employees shall report directly to the Secretary of

State and shall have the right to participate in all Management

Council meetings to assure that the ability of the Civil Service

employees to contribute to the achievement of the Department's

mandated responsibilities and the career interests of those

employees are adequately represented. The position of Ombudsman for

Civil Service Employees shall be designated from one of the Senior

Executive Service positions (as defined in section 3132(a)(2) of

title 5) in existence on December 22, 1987.

(d) "Civil Service employees" defined

For purposes of this section, the term "Civil Service employees"

means employees of the Federal Government except for members of the

Foreign Service (as defined in section 103 of the Foreign Service

Act of 1980 [22 U.S.C. 3903]).

Sec. 2684. Capital fund for Department of State to centralize

reproduction, editorial, data processing, audiovisual and other

services; maximum amount; operation of fund

-STATUTE-

(a) Establishment of fund

There is hereby established a working capital fund for the

Department of State, which shall be available without fiscal year

limitation, for expenses (including those authorized by the Foreign

Service Act of 1980 [22 U.S.C. 3901 et seq.]) and equipment,

necessary for maintenance and operation in the city of Washington

and elsewhere of (1) central reproduction, editorial, data

processing, audiovisual, library and administrative support

services; (2) central services for supplies and equipment

(including repairs); (3) such other administrative services as the

Secretary, with the approval of the Office of Management and

Budget, determines may be performed more advantageously and more

economically as central services; and (4) medical and health care

services. Such fund shall also be available without fiscal year

limitation to carry out the purposes of title II of this Act [22

U.S.C. 4301 et seq.] (!1) The capital of the fund shall consist of

the amount of the fair and reasonable value of such supply

inventories, equipment, and other assets and inventories on order,

pertaining to the services to be carried on by the fund, as the

Secretary may transfer to the fund, less the related liabilities

and unpaid obligations, together with any appropriations made for

the purpose of providing capital. The fund shall be reimbursed, or

credited with advance payments, from applicable appropriations and

funds of the Department of State, other Federal agencies, and other

sources authorized by law, for supplies and services at rates which

will approximate the expense of operations, including accrual of

annual leave and depreciation of plant and equipment of the fund.

The fund shall also be credited with other receipts from sale or

exchange of property or in payment for loss or damage to property

held by the fund. There shall be transferred into the Treasury as

miscellaneous receipts, as of the close of each fiscal year,

earnings which the Secretary determines to be excess to the needs

of the fund.

(b) Charges to fund; credit to appropriations

The current value of supplies returned to the working capital

fund by a post, activity, or agency may be charged to the fund. The

proceeds thereof shall, if otherwise authorized, be credited to

current applicable appropriations and shall remain available for

expenditures for the same purposes for which those appropriations

are available. Credits may not be made to appropriations under this

subsection as the result of capitalization of inventories.

-STATUTE-

(a) Agreements

Whenever the head of any Federal agency performing any foreign

affairs functions (including, but not limited to, the Department of

State, the Broadcasting Board of Governors, and the Agency for

International Development) determines that administrative services

performed in common by the Department of State and one or more

other such agencies may be performed more advantageously and more

economically on a consolidated basis, the Secretary of State and

the heads of the other agencies concerned may, subject to the

approval of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget,

conclude an agreement which provides for the transfer to and

consolidation within the Department or within one of the other

agencies concerned of so much of the functions, personnel,

property, records, and funds of the Department and of the other

agencies concerned as may be necessary to enable the performance of

those administrative services on a consolidated basis for the

benefit of all agencies concerned. Agreements for consolidation of

administrative services under this section shall provide for

reimbursement or advances of funds from the agency receiving the

service to the agency performing the service in amounts which will

approximate the expense of providing administrative services for

the serviced agency.

(b) Payment

(1) A Federal agency which obtains administrative services from

the Department of State pursuant to an agreement authorized under

subsection (a) of this section shall make full and prompt payment

for such services through advance of funds or reimbursement.

(2) The Secretary of State shall bill each Federal agency for

amounts due for services provided pursuant to subsection (a) of

this section. The Secretary shall notify a Federal agency which has

not made full payment for services within 90 days after billing

that services to the agency will be suspended or terminated if full

payment is not made within 180 days after the date of notification.

Except as provided under paragraph (3), the Secretary shall suspend

or terminate services to a Federal agency which has not made full

payment for services under this section 180 days after the date of

notification. Any costs associated with a suspension or termination

of services shall be the responsibility of, and shall be billed to,

the Federal agency.

(3) The Secretary of State may waive the requirement for

suspension or termination under paragraph (2) with respect to such

services as the Secretary determines are necessary to ensure the

protection of life and the safety of United States Government

property. A waiver may be issued for a period not to exceed one

year and may be renewed.

Sec. 2701. Educational facilities

-STATUTE-

Whenever the Secretary of State determines that educational

facilities are not available, or that existing educational

facilities are inadequate, to meet the needs of children of United

States citizens stationed outside the United States who are engaged

in carrying out Government activities, the Secretary may, in such

manner as he deems appropriate and under such regulations as he may

prescribe, establish, operate, and maintain primary schools, and

school dormitories and related educational facilities for primary

and secondary schools, outside the United States, make grants of

funds for such purposes, or otherwise provide for such educational

facilities. The authorities of the Foreign Service Buildings Act,

1926 [22 U.S.C. 292 et seq.], and of paragraphs (h) and (i) of

section 2670 of this title, may be utilized by the Secretary in

providing assistance for educational facilities. Such assistance

may include hiring, transporting, and payment of teachers and other

necessary personnel. Notwithstanding any other provision of law,

where the child of a United States citizen employee of an agency of

the United States Government who is stationed outside the United

States attends an educational facility assisted by the Secretary of

State under this section, the head of that agency is authorized to

reimburse, or credit with advance payment, the Department of State

for funds used in providing assistance to such educational

facilities, by grant or otherwise, under this section.

Sec. 2702. Malpractice protection

-STATUTE-

(a) Exclusiveness of designated remedies

The remedy -

(1) against the United States provided by sections 1346(b) and

2672 of title 28, or

(2) through proceedings for compensation or other benefits from

the United States as provided by any other law, where the

availability of such benefits precludes a remedy under such

sections,

for damages for personal injury, including death, allegedly arising

from malpractice or negligence of a physician, dentist, nurse,

pharmacist, or paramedical (including medical and dental assistants

and technicians, nursing assistants, and therapists) or other

supporting personnel of the Department of State in furnishing

medical care or related services, including the conducting of

clinical studies or investigations, while in the exercise of his or

her duties in or for the Department of State or any other Federal

department, agency, or instrumentality shall be exclusive of any

other civil action or proceeding by reason of the same subject

matter against such physician, dentist, nurse, pharmacist, or

paramedical or other supporting personnel (or his or her estate)

whose act or omission gave rise to such claim.

(b) Defense of civil actions by United States; delivery of process;

furnishing of copies of pleadings

The United States Government shall defend any civil action or

proceeding brought in any court against any person referred to in

subsection (a) of this section (or his or her estate) for any such

damage or injury. Any such person against whom such civil action or

proceeding is brought shall deliver, within such time after date of

service or knowledge of service as may be determined by the

Attorney General, all process served upon him or her or an attested

true copy thereof to whomever was designated by the Secretary to

receive such papers. Such person shall promptly furnish copies of

the pleading and process therein to the United States attorney for

the district embracing the place wherein the proceeding is brought,

to the Attorney General, and to the Secretary.

limitations

Upon a certification by the Attorney General that the defendant

was acting within the scope of his or her employment in or for the

Department of State or any other Federal department, agency, or

instrumentality at the time of the incident out of which the suit

arose, any such civil action or proceeding commenced in a State

court shall be removed without bond at any time before trial by the

Attorney General to the district court of the United States of the

district and division embracing the place wherein it is pending and

the proceeding deemed a tort action brought against the United

States under the provisions of title 28, and all references

thereto. Should a United States district court determine on a

hearing on a motion to remand held before a trial on the merits

that the case so removed is one in which a remedy by suit within

the meaning of subsection (a) of this section is not available

against the United States, the case shall be remanded to the State

court except that where such remedy is precluded because of the

availability of a remedy through proceedings for compensation or

other benefits from the United States as provided by any other law,

the case shall be dismissed, but in that event, the running of any

limitation of time for commencing, or filing an application or

claim in, such proceedings for compensation or other benefits shall

be deemed to have been suspended during the pendency of the civil

action or proceeding under this section.

(d) Compromise or settlement of claims

The Attorney General may compromise or settle any claim asserted

in such civil action or proceeding in the manner provided in

section 2677 of title 28, and with the same effect.

(e) Inapplicability of section 2680(h) of title 28

For purposes of this section, the provisions of section 2680(h)

of title 28, shall not apply to any tort enumerated therein arising

out of negligence in the furnishing of medical care or related

services, including the conducting of clinical studies or

investigations.

(f) Holding harmless or providing for liability insurance

The Secretary may, to the extent he deems appropriate, hold

harmless or provide liability insurance for any person to whom the

immunity provisions of subsection (a) of this section apply, for

damages for personal injury, including death, negligently caused by

any such person while acting within the scope of his or her office

or employment and as a result of the furnishing of medical care or

related services, including the conducting of clinical studies or

investigations, if such person is assigned to a foreign area or

detailed for service with other than a Federal agency or

institution, or if the circumstances are such as are likely to

preclude the remedies of third persons against the United States

provided by sections 1346(b) and 2672 of title 28, for such damage

or injury.

(g) Medical care or related service within scope of employment

For purposes of this section, any medical care or related service

covered by this section and performed abroad by a covered person at

the direction or with the approval of the United States chief of

mission or other principal representative of the United States in

the area shall be deemed to be within the scope of employment of

the individual performing the service.

Sec. 2703. Services and facilities for employees at posts abroad

-STATUTE-

(a) Non-Government-operated services; applicability of other

provisions of law

The Secretary of State may authorize and assist in the

establishment, maintenance, and operation by civilian officers and

employees of the Government of non-Government-operated services and

facilities at posts abroad, including the furnishing of space,

utilities, and properties owned or leased by the Government for use

by its diplomatic, consular, and other missions and posts abroad.

The provisions of the Foreign Service Buildings Act, 1926 (22

U.S.C. 292-300) and section 2684 of this title may be utilized by

the Secretary in providing such assistance.

(b) Emergency commissary and mess services

The Secretary may establish and maintain emergency commissary or

mess services in places abroad where, in the judgment of the

Secretary, such services are necessary temporarily to insure the

effective and efficient performance of official duties and

responsibilities. Reimbursements incident to the maintenance and

operation of commissary or mess service under this subsection shall

be at not less than cost as determined by the Secretary and shall

be used as working funds, except that an amount equal to the amount

expended for such services shall be covered into the Treasury as

miscellaneous receipts.

Services and facilities established under this section shall be

made available, insofar as practicable, to officers and employees

of all agencies and their dependents who are stationed in the

locality abroad, and, where determined by the Secretary to be

appropriate due to exceptional circumstances, to United States

citizens hired outside of the host country to serve as teaching

staff for such dependents abroad. Such services and facilities

shall not be established in localities where another agency

operates similar services or facilities unless the Secretary

determines that additional services or facilities are necessary.

Other agencies shall to the extent practicable avoid duplicating

the facilities and services provided or assisted by the Secretary

under this section.

(d) Charges

Charges at any post abroad for a service or facility provided,

authorized or assisted under this section shall be at the same rate

for all civilian personnel of the Government serviced thereby, and

all charges for supplies furnished to such a service or facility

abroad by any agency shall be at the same rate as that charged by

the furnishing agency to its comparable civilian services and

facilities.

(e) Child care facilities

The Secretary of State may make grants to child care facilities,

to offset in part the cost of such care, in Moscow and at no more

than five other posts abroad where the Secretary determines that

due to extraordinary circumstances such facilities are necessary to

the efficient operation of the post. In making that determination,

the Secretary shall take into account factors such as -

(1) whether Foreign Service spouses are encouraged to work at

the post because -

(A) the number of members of the post is subject to a ceiling

imposed by the receiving country; and

(B) Foreign Service nationals are not employed at the post;

and

(2) whether local child care is available.

Section 501 of Pub. L. 99-399 provided that: "It is the sense of

the Congress that the Secretary of State should more vigorously

utilize the moneys available under section 36(a) of the State

Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956 (22 U.S.C. 2708(a);

relating to rewards for information on international terrorism) to

more effectively apprehend and prosecute international terrorists.

It is further the sense of the Congress that the Secretary of State

should consider widely publicizing the sizable rewards available

under present law so that major international terrorist figures may

be brought to justice."

incident to the disposition of the estate;

(F) upon the expiration of the one-year period beginning on

the date of death (or after such additional period as may be

required for final settlement of the estate), if no claimant

shall have appeared, after reasonable public notice and notice

to such next of kin as can be ascertained with reasonable

(1) Report to Congress

180 days after October 21, 1998, and annually thereafter, the

Secretary of State shall prepare and submit to the Congress, a

report concerning diplomatic immunity entitled "Report on Cases

Involving Diplomatic Immunity".

(2) Content of report

In addition to such other information as the Secretary of State

may consider appropriate, the report under paragraph (1) shall

include the following:

(A) The number of persons residing in the United States who

enjoy full immunity from the criminal jurisdiction of the

United States under laws extending diplomatic privileges and

immunities.

(B) Each case involving an alien described in subparagraph

(A) in which an appropriate authority of a State, a political

subdivision of a State, or the United States reported to the

Department of State that the authority had reasonable cause to

believe the alien committed a serious criminal offense within

the United States, and any additional information provided to

the Secretary relating to other serious criminal offenses that

any such authority had reasonable cause to believe the alien

committed before the period covered by the report. The

Secretary may omit from such report any matter the provision of

which the Secretary reasonably believes would compromise a

criminal investigation or prosecution or which would directly

compromise law enforcement or intelligence sources or methods.

Secretary of State has certified that a person enjoys full

immunity from the criminal jurisdiction of the United States

under laws extending diplomatic privileges and immunities.

(D) The number of United States citizens who are residing in

a receiving state and who enjoy full immunity from the criminal

jurisdiction of such state under laws extending diplomatic

privileges and immunities.

(E) Each case involving a United States citizen under

subparagraph (D) in which the United States has been requested

by the government of a receiving state to waive the immunity

from criminal jurisdiction of the United States citizen.

(F) Whether the Secretary has made the notifications referred

to in subsection (c) of this section during the period covered

by the report.

(3) Serious criminal offense defined

For the purposes of this section, the term "serious criminal

offense" means -

(A) any felony under Federal, State, or local law;

of imprisonment of more than 1 year;

16 of title 18; or

(D)(i) driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs;

(ii) reckless driving; or

(iii) driving while intoxicated.

(b) United States policy concerning reform of diplomatic immunity

It is the sense of the Congress that the Secretary of State

should explore, in appropriate fora, whether states should enter

into agreements and adopt legislation -

(1) to provide jurisdiction in the sending state to prosecute

crimes committed in the receiving state by persons entitled to

immunity from criminal jurisdiction under laws extending

diplomatic privileges and immunities; and

(2) to provide that where there is probable cause to believe

that an individual who is entitled to immunity from the criminal

jurisdiction of the receiving state under laws extending

diplomatic privileges and immunities committed a serious crime,

the sending state will waive such immunity or the sending state

will prosecute such individual.

The Secretary should periodically notify each foreign mission of

United States policies relating to criminal offenses committed by

individuals with immunity from the criminal jurisdiction of the

United States under laws extending diplomatic privileges and

immunities.
