Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This bill requires the Secretary of State to implement recommendations from the Government Accountability Office's High Risk List, which identifies serious management weaknesses in federal agencies. Specifically, the State Department must address five areas: information technology acquisition and operations, human capital management, federal real property management, cybersecurity, and the government-wide personnel security clearance process. The Secretary of State must submit a progress report to Congress within 90 days of the bill's enactment detailing how the department is implementing these GAO recommendations. The bill does not authorize any new funding, but rather directs the State Department to act on existing GAO oversight recommendations that have previously been identified as high-priority issues.
