PRIA, Government Policy, Made Personal

Summary

Lets money for these programs be used to pay staff wages and travel, buy printing and supplies, pay for services and other operating costs (including spending abroad), and cover other administrative expenses. It lets the government hire Foreign Service members on limited appointments for the length of operations, move funds even without regard to section 3651 of the Revised Statutes (31 U.S.C. 543), and pay costs allowed by the Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C. 3901 et seq.) and the Act of August 1, 1956 (70 Stat. 890–892). The government may hire people abroad by contract; those contractors are generally not treated as U.S. employees for Office of Personnel Management rules, though the Secretary of State can decide if section 2(f) of the State Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956 (22 U.S.C. 2669(f)) or other Secretary‑administered laws apply. The President may approve any other necessary expenses. Unless this chapter says otherwise, rules, orders, contracts, agreements, and other actions made under laws repealed by this chapter stay in effect until they are changed or replaced under this chapter. People paid from these funds may give administrative help to the bureau staff that runs this chapter.
