HR 4297 United States House · 119th Congress

Protecting American Diplomats Act

HR 4297, the Protecting American Diplomats Act, requires the State Department to submit a report within 120 days of enactment evaluating counterintelligence (CI) training for personnel at high-risk overseas posts. The report must detail training content, regional threat adaptations, which staff (including Foreign Service Officers and locally employed staff) receive training, interagency coordination, and identified gaps in CI preparedness. This procedural bill affects State Department personnel deployed to high-risk locations and expires two years after enactment, with the report to be unclassified but allowing a classified annex.
