Today, I proudly voted to strengthen the @StateDept's ability to serve Americans and advance U.S. interests around the world, carry out global anti-corruption activities, and bolster its own cybersecurity and training for diplomats and career civil servants.
This bill: [THREAD]
This bill: [THREAD]
Includes a provision I helped draft to strengthen long-term training opportunities for diplomatic personnel — for both foreign and career civil servants — so they can better advance U.S. interests and forge diplomatic solutions to challenging issues around the world,
Includes a list of State Department training institutions that should be considered as part of the strategy to expand training, including FASTC, right at home in #VA07, and
Includes my amendment to strengthen State’s efforts to prevent and address sexual harassment, sexual assault, and retaliation.
Investments in our diplomacy are investments in U.S. security and prosperity.
It has been nearly two decades since Congress passed a @StateDept authorization bill, and we owe it to the dedicated public servants at State to bolster their ability to conduct 21st century diplomacy.
