Revoke other agencies' authority to negotiate international agreements
What the document says“The Secretary of State must revoke most outstanding C-175 authorities that have been granted to other agencies during previous Administrations”

Only the State Department normally makes deals abroad. Other agencies were given that power too. The book says most of it should be taken back.
