“Much of this, as we have said, covers redundant offices and takes some of these cross -cutting functions and moves them to regional offices and our embassies abroad, to people who are closest to where diplomacy occurs, to empower them the resources and authorities they need to be able to conduct the foreign policy of the President.”

The spokesperson for the State Department, Tammy Bruce, warned Thursday that the agency would move quickly after the Supreme Court aroused the injunction of the lower court preventing the administration from implementing reductions of force at the general scale between federal agencies.
