Reorganization of the Department is announced by Christopher and Wharton

A reorganization of the Department that would enhance the authority of the under secretaries, reshuffle many of the bureaus and offices and reduce the number of deputy assistant secretaries and Seventh Floor staff members was announced on February 5. Department staffers first got word of the plan when Deputy Secretary Clifton R. Wharton Jr. addressed them from the Bureau of Public Affairs studio on “B- Net,” with employees gathering at the hallway TV monitors in Main State to hear him. At the same time. Secretary Christo¬ The Secretary, right, and the deputy Dean Acheson Auditorium. (State Depart- pher issued a written statement and an secretary as they address employees in the ment photo by Shawn Moore) implementation directive addressed to all employees. The announcement came as State’s PROPOSED ORGANIZATION two leaders moved swiftly to put their own stamp on the Department, less than two weeks after they appeared personally be¬ fore employees in the Dean Acheson Auditorium (see adjoining page). One feature of the proposed changes is that they would result in the devolution of at least some responsibilities from the Seventh Floor to career employees and even junior officers of the Foreign Service and Civil Service, reversing the pattern of previous years. Some of the proposed changes require legislation by Congress. Many of them are in accord with recommendations of the “State 2000” study which was initiated in the previous administration and conducted by a task force of Foreign Service and Civil Service officers (see Page 5).

GUIs are easy to learn, portable and compatible across different systems. Once a user becomes familiar with them, they can actually be lots of fun. (Maybe that is why some folks here are calling the popular WIN¬ DOWS program, a GUI application, “WINTENDO”—a word play on the popular game program “NINTENDO”). Mr. Littrel emphasized that decisions on which programs to acquire “won’t be made unilaterally.” He said: “We plan to coordinate all user software decisions with the employees themselves.

Established just 15 years ago, the office has an impressive record representing what the former Association of American Foreign Service Women president, Lesley Dorman, in her 1979 testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, called “the nonprofessional interest of the Foreign Service community in the policy-making coun¬ cils of management.” The Family Liaison Office opened its doors on March 1, 1978, with a ribbon-cutting presided over by then Secretary of State Cyrus Vance. Mr. Vance noted the 1977 findings of the Forum of the Association of American Foreign Service Women, which pointed out the growing concerns of Foreign Service spouses and families. Creating the Family Liaison Office, he said, was evidence of the Depart¬ ment’s recognition of the complex family issues which were impacting on the functioning of the Foreign Service. In remarks that I regard as true today as they were 15 years ago. Secretary Vance summed up the challenges facing the Foreign Service and the Family Liaison Office: “In recent years the Foreign Service family, even more than the American family in general, has been deeply affected by the changing roles and aspirations of women, by new and harsher economic realities, and other changes in our society. The modem American family, in which both husband and wife work and share in the responsibilities of the home and parent¬ hood, does not easily fit into the traditional world of diplomacy.
