22 U.S.C. § 4805 — Cooperation of other Federal agencies

(a) Assistance In order to facilitate fulfillment of the responsibilities described in section 4802(a) of this title , other Federal agencies must cooperate (through agreements) to the maximum extent possible with the Secretary of State. Such agencies can, with or without reimbursement, provide assistance to the Secretary, perform security inspections, provide logistical support relating to the differing missions and facilities of other Federal agencies, and perform other overseas security functions as can be authorized by the Secretary. Specifically, the Secretary can agree to delegate operational control of overseas security functions of other Federal agencies to the heads of such agencies, subject to the Secretary’s authority as set forth in section 4802(a) of this title . The agency head receiving such delegated authority is responsible to the Secretary in the exercise of the delegated operational control. (b) Other agencies Nothing contained in this chapter is construed to limit or impair the authority or responsibility of any other Federal, State, or local agency for law enforcement, domestic security operations, or intelligence activities as defined in Executive Order 12333. (c) Certain lease arrangements The Administrator of General Services is authorized to lease (to such extent or in such amounts as are provided in appropriation Acts) such amount of space in the United States as can be necessary for the Department of State to accommodate the personnel required to carry out this subchapter. The Department of State must pay for such space at the rate established by the Administrator of General Services for space and related services.
