Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the President may make all appointments of secretaries in the Diplomatic Service, and of consuls generals and consuls to grades instead of to places, subject to the advice and consent of the Senate in each case. Sec. 2. That the Secretary of State is directed to report from time to time to the President, along with his recommendations for promotion, or for transfer between the department and the foreign service, the names of those secretaries in the Diplomatic Service and the names of those consular officers or departmental officers or employees who, by reason of efficient service, an accurate record of which shall be kept in the Department of State, have demonstrated special efficiency, and also the names of persons found upon examination to have fitness for appointment to the lower grades of the service. Sec. 3. That the secretaryships in the Diplomatic Service are hereby graded and classified as follows: Class one, three thousand dollars, secretaries of embassy; class two, two thousand six hundred and twenty-five dollars, secretaries of legation; class three, two thousand dollars, secretaries of legation and second secretaries of embassy; class four, one thousand eight hundred dollars, second secretaries of legation; class five, one thousand two hundred dollars, third secretaries of embassy or legation. Sec. 4. That the board of examiners for the Diplomatic Service shall be composed of an Assistant Secretary of State, the chief examiner of the Civil Service Commission or such other officer as that commission shall designate, a law officer of the Department of State, and one other officer to be designated by the Secretary of State. The board of examiners for the Consular Service shall be composed of the officer charged with the administration of the Consular Service, the Chief of the Consular Bureau, the Chief of the Bureau of Trade Relations, and the chief examiner of the Civil Service Commission or such other officer as that commission shall designate. Sec 5. That the scope and method of the examinations shall be determined by the boards of examiners, but the examinations shall include business experience and ability, the resources and commerce of the United States, with special reference to the development of export trade, international, commercial, and maritime law and history, American history, government, and institutions, and one language other than English. These examinations shall be held at least once annually, and shall be conducted with strict impartiality and without regard to the political or other affiliations of any candidate; and upon their conslusion the boards of examiners shall certify in writing to the Secretary of State the names of those persons whom they have found to be, in their judgment, thoroughly well qualified for the Diplomatic or Consular Services; and the report of the board shall be made public; and the Secretary of State shall at the same time make a public statement of the proportional representation of the different States and Territories in the foreign service.
