It is the sense of Congress that— the number of hard-to-fill vacancies at United States diplomatic missions are far too high and present a national security risk to the United States; and if the Department is unable to incentivize officers to accept hard-to-fill positions, the Department should consider directed assignments to more effectively advance the national interests of the United States. Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit a report to the appropriate congressional committees on efforts to develop new incentives for hard-to-fill positions at United States diplomatic missions.
The report shall include a description of the incentives developed to date and proposals to try to more effectively fill hard-to-fill posts.
