Book excerpt: During the 1990s, the State Dept. (SD) lost more people than it hired. The resultant shortfalls in the number and skills of Foreign Serv. (FS) officers have endangered U.S. diplomatic readiness. Furthermore, recent studies have questioned whether SD's recruitment system identifies people with the appropriate skills and whether SD is assigning officers with specialized skills, such as the ability to speak a difficult language. This report reviews the SD's processes for determining the number and skills of junior officers the dep't. needs and to determine whether it is hiring and assigning officers with the general skills to carry out foreign policy overseas. Also examines the challenges the SD still needs to address, especially regarding officers' foreign language skills.

Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Proficiency in foreign languages is a key skill for U.S. diplomats to advance U.S. interests overseas. In 2006, it was recommended that the U.S. Dept. of State (State) evaluate the effectiveness of its efforts to improve the language proficiency of its staff. State responded by providing examples of activities it believed addressed the recommendation. This report: (1) examined the extent to which State is meeting its foreign language requirements and the potential impact of any shortfall; (2) assessed State's efforts to meet its foreign language requirements and described the challenges it faces in doing so; and (3) assessed the extent to which State has a comprehensive strategy to determine and meet these requirements.
