When referring to Foreign Service officers in its public and internal communications, the Department of State and other Departments and Agencies shall, in recognition of the status of such officers as commissioned officers of the United States Government, use the terminology found in the Foreign Service Act of 1980 ( Public Law 110–457 ) and refer to such individuals as Foreign Service officers rather than using other terms such as Foreign Service generalists . The term Foreign Service specialists may be used as appropriate to refer to personnel who fit that description.
