Revoke other agencies' authority to negotiate international agreements

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, chapter 6, p. 175. Written by Kiron K. Skinner.

Revoke other agencies' authority to negotiate international agreements

The document says “mustWho acts: Secretary of StateHow: internal managementp. 175 in the PDF
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”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 175

C-175 authority lets an agency other than the State Department negotiate an international agreement. The chapter says most such grants should be revoked, closely coordinated with the White House, but that Homeland Security should keep or regain its authority for negotiating bilateral and multilateral security agreements.

What the document actually says

“The Secretary of State must revoke most outstanding C-175 authorities that have been granted to other agencies during previous Administrations”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 175
That sentence, in plain words

Other agencies were given power to make deals abroad. The Secretary must take most of it back.

What this is about

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.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
