"The State Department in its current form is bloated, bureaucratic, and unable to perform its essential diplomatic mission in this new era of great power competition."

"But far from seeing a return on investment, taxpayers have seen less effective and efficient diplomacy."

"This approach will empower the Department from the ground up, from the bureaus to the embassies."

"Over the past 15 years, the department's footprint has had unprecedented growth and costs have soared."
