(a) FINDINGS- The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Department of State has begun to address the long-standing neglect of
overseas real property management. In 1988, the Office of Foreign Buildings
Operations contracted with two engineering firms to develop a baseline of
information about facility conditions and to document necessary post repairs
at the 250 overseas posts. The Office of Foreign Buildings Operations also
established two maintenance assistance centers and is equipping each newly
constructed office building with an overall maintenance program.
(2) A September 1990 General Accounting Office report found that while
recent actions of the Office of Foreign Buildings Operations will improve
overseas real property management, serious additional problems will
remain. Of the fourteen posts that the General Accounting Office visited,
none had conducted annual surveys to systematically identify maintenance and
repair requirements; none were following all of the maintenance management
principles as outlined in the Buildings Maintenance Handbook; and the
vast majority of posts were not tracking maintenance expenditures. The
report concluded that the Office of Foreign Buildings Operations exercised
insufficient oversight of overseas maintenance activities.
(3) The neglect of maintenance oversight by the Office of Foreign Buildings
Operations has repeatedly resulted in the deferment of necessary maintenance
which has led to higher repair costs and shorter building life.
(b) MAINTENANCE OVERSIGHT- The Director of the Office of Foreign Buildings
Operations shall--
(1) direct overseas posts to make annual building condition assessments
of buildings and facilities used by the post;
(2) not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this
Act, revise the Foreign Affairs Manual to stipulate that the Buildings
and Maintenance Handbook shall be used by each post to identify their
maintenance needs, standardize their maintenance operations, and conduct
annual assessments as required by paragraph (1);
(3) direct the Office of Foreign Buildings Operations to provide proper
training and assistance to posts to ensure that annual surveys are
effectively completed; and
(4) direct overseas posts to ensure that all maintenance program fiscal
transactions are properly encoded in the Department of State accounting
system to enable compilation of actual expenditures on routine maintenance
and specific maintenance funded by the Office of Foreign Buildings
Operations.

and accuracy. Documentary texts shall not be altered and deletions shall

in selecting documents and other materials for possible inclusion in the
FRUS series;

individuals holding appropriate security clearances as have been designated
by the Historian as liaison to that department, agency, or entity, for
purposes of this title, and by members of the Advisory Committee; and

Except that, nothing in this section shall require the publication and
disclosure, or search and review, of operational files of the Central
Intelligence Agency, as determined in accordance with section 701 of the

that any such record is not declassifiable, then the originating agency
shall attempt to make such deletions in the text as will make the record
declassifiable.
`(2) If the Historian determines that the meaning of the records proposed for
inclusion in a volume of the FRUS series would be so altered or changed by

incomplete historical record, then the Advisory Committee shall so advise

under this subsection then a note to that effect shall be inserted at the
appropriate place in the FRUS volume.

that would be inconsistent with the law related to the classification
of information for national security reasons, or with agency procedures
implemented in accordance with law to control access to classified
information.

OF STATE.
(a) FINDINGS- The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In June 1988, the United States Merit Systems Protection Board
issued a report entitled `Sexual Harassment in the Federal Government: An
Update'. That report identified the State Department (including the United
States Information Agency and the United States Agency for International
Development) as having the highest rate of incidence of sexual harassment
of women of any agency in the Federal Government.
(2) To provide more detailed information on sexual harassment of women at
the Department of State and United States Information Agency, the Foreign
Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991 directed the two
agencies to contract out with private organizations with expertise in
personnel systems and problems no later than 90 days after enactment of
that Act to conduct detailed studies of sexual harassment problems at their
respective agencies. The private organizations were required to complete
their studies and to report to Congress within one year after enactment.
(3) The United States Information Agency entered in a contract with a
private organization to begin its study even before enactment of the Act, and
submitted a detailed report to Congress within the mandated deadline. That
report found that the incidence of sexual harassment of women at the United
States Information Agency was not significantly greater than the average
for other agencies of the Federal Government as identified by the United
States Merit Systems Protection Board. In response to the report, the
United States Information Agency has instituted programs to help prevent
incidents of sexual harassment and to respond to incidents that do occur,
and the Agency has planned period follow up studies to monitor improvement.
(4) The Department of State failed to enter into a contract with a private
organization to begin its study until 8 months after enactment of the
Act, which was 5 months after the deadline required by law. The delay
ensured that the private organization selected to conduct the study would
be unable to meet the legislatively mandated deadline for submission of
its report. This delay also ensured that the Congress would be unable to
consider for inclusion in the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal
Years 1992 and 1993 any recommendations for legislative changes that might
be contained in the report.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS- It is the sense of Congress that the Department
of State has been negligent in carrying out section 155 of the Foreign
Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991, `Study of Sexual
Harassment at the Department of State'.
(c) REPORT- Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of
this Act, the Inspector General of the Department of State shall report
to the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives and
the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate on the reasons for
the Department's negligence in adhering to deadlines required by law
in implementing section 155 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act,
Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991, and what steps, if any, the Department has
taken to prevent such a failure from recurring.

neighboring populations and property and are seeking to prevent unnecessary
risks by an industrial cooperation project to the surrounding environment,
including by consulting with community leaders regarding environmental
protection with respect to an industrial cooperation project;
