Since 1978, the Library of Congress may use its funds for overseas staff costs. This covers medical care through the State Department, hiring foreign staff, vehicles, and moving costs for staff families. It also funds certain travel benefits, subject to the Librarian's rules.

This section lets the Library of Congress spend its own funds on several costs tied to staff working overseas, starting October 1, 1978. The Library can pay the State Department back for medical services given to Library of Congress employees stationed abroad. The Library can also pay for hiring foreign national employees abroad, setting their pay under compensation plans like those used for the Foreign Service under Foreign Service Act of 1946 section 444 (22 U.S.C. § 889(a)). The Library's funds can cover buying or renting passenger motor vehicles. The funds can also pay employees' travel costs, plus storing and shipping their household goods, and travel and daily ("per diem") expenses for their families traveling to join them — but no more than 24 family members at a time. The Library can provide benefits like those given under Foreign Service Act of 1946 sections 911(9), 911(11), and 941 (22 U.S.C. §§ 1136(9), 1136(11), and 1156). The Library can also offer travel benefits similar to those the Agency for International Development gives its single employees — including single Foreign Service staff on A.I.D. projects — under 22 U.S.C. § 2396(b). All of this spending is subject to rules and regulations issued by the Librarian of Congress.
