HR 6255 United States House · 118th Congress

To require the Secretary of State to report an assessment of the Conflict and Stabilization Operations Bureau, including whether the Bureau should be maintained, explanations of its function, and cost analysis of the Bureau.

This bill requires the Secretary of State to submit a report within 180 days assessing whether the Conflict and Stabilization Operations Bureau (CSOB) should be maintained. The report must explain the Bureau's unique function, analyze its costs (including potential savings from dissolution), and detail how its work would be handled by other State Department offices if disbanded. It directs the report to the House Foreign Affairs and Senate Foreign Relations Committees for review. The bill does not change the Bureau's operations but mandates a formal evaluation of its value and cost.
