Abstract:

Staff reductions will be bitterly opposed by the foreign service and its supporters in Congress and the media. The result, however, would give the State Department an information system suitable to its global responsibilities, while providing U.S. leaders the kind of information they need to make effective policy decisions at less cost and with smaller staff.
