It is the sense of Congress that— service in the Corps is noncareer service for the United States that is closely analogous to noncareer military service in the uniformed services; and extension to the members of the Corps of the rights and responsibilities of members of the uniformed services under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act ( 50 U.S.C. 3901 et seq. ) in connection with active service in the Corps would achieve the purposes set forth in section 2 of that Act in connection with the foreign affairs needs of the Nation, and is therefore in the national interest.
Section 101 of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act ( 50 U.S.C. 3911 ) is amended as follows: In paragraph (1), by striking means and all that follows and inserting means— a member of the uniformed services, as that term is defined in section 101(a)(5) of title 10, United States Code; and a member of the Diplomatic Reserve Corps under chapter 14 of title I of the Foreign Service Act of 1980. .
