Congress believes the State Department should create an annual award for employees who advance democracy promotion. Congress also believes the Secretary should set up rules and any financial terms for choosing award winners.

It is the sense of Congress that: (1) the Secretary should strengthen the Department's ability to carry out results-based democracy promotion by creating an annual award — the "Outstanding Achievements in Advancing Democracy Award," also called the "ADVANCE Democracy Award" — to be given to Department officers or employees; and (2) the Secretary should set up procedures for choosing who receives this award, including any financial terms that come with it.
