To provide for the International Security Affairs authorities of the Department of State.

This bill would create an Under Secretary for International Security Affairs at the State Department to oversee arms control, nonproliferation, counterterrorism, narcotics control, organized crime, emerging threats, and political-military affairs. It would set up an Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking, led by a Senate-confirmed Director with the rank of Ambassador-at-Large. It would also set up or authorize Assistant Secretaries and Bureaus for political-military affairs, international narcotics and law enforcement, arms control and nonproliferation, counterterrorism, and emerging threats such as artificial intelligence and engineered bioweapons. Funding for these offices would come from State Department funds for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, and references to older office titles in law would be treated as references to the new titles.
