Section 8 – Travel Program

The Foreign Missions Act authorizes the Secretary of

State to designate the terms and conditions under which
benefits may be granted to foreign missions. Since 1983 the
Secretary determined that travel in the United States beyond a
certain boundary by personnel and their dependents from
specified foreign missions could be undertaken only with the
prior approval of, or after notification to, the Department’s
Office of Foreign Missions. Those foreign missions which are
subject to travel restrictions have been notified of the specific
requirements for travel.
