The President must assign United States personnel to covered foreign economic-assistance programs based only on ability and relevant experience. Funds may not support assistance in a country that excludes such personnel based on listed personal characteristics.
(a) Assignment based on ability and experience. When assigning United States officers and employees to carry out economic-development assistance programs under this chapter in a foreign country, the President may not consider their race, religion, national origin, or sex. Assignments must be based only on ability and relevant experience.
(b) Prohibition on use of funds in a discriminatory country. Starting six months after December 20, 1975, or earlier if the President decides, no money made available under this chapter may provide economic-development assistance to a country that objects, because of an officer’s or employee’s race, religion, national origin, or sex, to that person being there to carry out a covered program.
(c) Rules and regulations. The Secretary of State must issue the rules and regulations the Secretary considers necessary to carry out this section.
The President shall not take into account, in assigning officers and employees of the United States to carry out any economic development assistance programs funded under this chapter in any foreign country, the race, religion, national origin, or sex of any such officer or employee. Such assignments shall be made solely on the basis of ability and relevant experience.
Effective six months after December 20, 1975, or on such earlier date as the President may determine, none of the funds made available under this chapter may be used to provide economic development assistance to any country which objects to the presence of any officer or employee of the United States who is present in such country for the purpose of carrying out any program of economic development assistance authorized by the provisions of this chapter on the basis of the race, religion, national origin, or sex of such officer or employee.
The Secretary of State shall promulgate such rules and regulations as he may deem necessary to carry out the provisions of this section.
