To establish an office to combat the global rise of authoritarian socialism and communism at the Department of State, and for other purposes.

HR 6518 would establish a new office within the U.S. Department of State, led by a Special Envoy, to address the global rise of authoritarian socialism and communism. The bill amends the State Department Basic Authorities Act to create this position, specifying it as a permanent part of the Department's structure. This change directly affects the Department of State by adding a dedicated leadership role focused on monitoring and countering these political systems internationally. The bill does not detail specific actions or policies for the office, only its creation and leadership structure.
