Promoting Diplomacy with Australia Act

HR 6123, the "Promoting Diplomacy with Australia Act," requires the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia and Pacific Affairs to submit a report within 30 days of enactment on the capacity of the U.S. diplomatic mission in Australia. The report must detail current staffing and operations, planned growth for 2025-2030, interagency expansion, necessary support systems, resource gaps affecting U.S. objectives (including the Australia-U.S. alliance and AUKUS partnership), and recommendations for additional facilities, staffing, and funding. This procedural bill mandates a comprehensive analysis to address potential shortfalls but does not enact new policy or funding.
