policy is made and with the recommendations that help shape it.

full responsibility for implementation of U.S. foreign policy by any and
all U.S. Government personnel within their country of assignment, except
those under military commands. Their responsibilities include
negotiating agreements between the United States and the host country,
explaining and disseminating official U.S. policy, and maintaining
cordial relations with that country's government and people.
