Plain-language summary
Amends Executive Order 12293, which governs the Foreign Service of the United States, to reset the salary ranges for the Senior Foreign Service's three classes—Career Minister, Minister-Counselor, and Counselor—tying their pay ranges to specific percentages of senior-level federal pay rates and Executive Schedule levels II and III, as authorized under the Foreign Service Act of 1980. It also updates outdated references in Executive Order 12293 by removing mentions of the Director of the International Communication Agency and the Director of the United States International Development Cooperation Agency, replacing them with the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development. Additionally, it revokes a prior order, Executive Order 13325 of January 23, 2004. The order states it creates no enforceable legal rights for any party against the federal government.
