It is the sense of Congress that the Department should offer both the Foreign Service written examination and oral assessment in diverse locations throughout the United States, in addition to the District of Columbia and San Francisco. Doing so would ease the financial burden on potential candidates who do not currently reside in and must travel at their own expense to these two cities, particularly veterans and military members transitioning to civilian life. Subsection
(b)of section 301 of the Foreign Service Act of 1980 ( 22 U.S.C. 3941 ) is amended— by inserting
(1)before The Secretary ; and by adding at the end the following new paragraph: The Secretary shall ensure that the Board of Examiners for the Foreign Service shall offer the oral assessment examinations described in paragraph
(1)in at least three of the time zones in the United States in a calendar year to facilitate the participation and examination of a more diverse array of candidates. .
