The administration showed its support for rightsizing in the President's Management Agenda by directing all agencies operating overseas to rightsize their presence.

In May 2002, we presented testimony on a framework for determining the appropriate number of staff to be assigned to a U.S. embassies. As you requested, this report presents the framework discussed in our testimony that outlines the key criteria for evaluating the U.S. overseas presence, along with examples of key questions that may be useful in making the right decisions.
