Bill Summary
A BILL To require a report on the unfunded priorities of the Department of State.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of State to submit a detailed report to Congress within 10 days of the President's budget submission, focusing on the Department of State's unfunded priorities. An "unfunded priority" is defined as a program, activity, or mission requirement that is not included in the President's budget but is considered necessary for foreign policy or national security objectives, and would have been recommended for funding if additional resources were available or if the requirement emerged after the budget was initially created. The report must include a summary description of each unfunded priority, its objectives, recommended funding amount, and specific budget information such as the appropriation account and expenditure center. Additionally, the report must prioritize these unfunded priorities in order of overall urgency. The report must be submitted to key congressional committees, specifically the Foreign Affairs and Appropriations Committees in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The bill aims to provide greater transparency about the Department of State's unmet needs and potential additional resource requirements.
