The Secretary of State can manage, maintain, and insure Foreign Service properties abroad, plus other properties bought under this law. The Secretary can also rent art, hire outside technical experts at standard local rates, and skip the usual "Buy American" purchasing rule for these purposes.

For the purposes of this chapter, the Secretary of State is authorized to supervise, preserve, maintain, and operate the Foreign Service properties in foreign countries and the other properties acquired under this chapter, and to insure them when the Secretary decides it's necessary. The Secretary can also rent and insure objects of art, and collect information and formulate plans. Without regard to civil service and classification laws, the Secretary can obtain architectural and other expert technical services as needed, and pay for them at the professional fee rates established by local authority, law, or custom. The Secretary can also make expenditures without regard to a separate section that normally requires purchasing articles manufactured in the United States.
