There are 11,000 personnel listed as US Foreign Service in the State Department, the Agency for International Development, the Foreign Commercial Service, Foreign Agriculture Service, and the International Broadcasting Bureau.
And almost half of the US Foreign Service think Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is doing a “poor job”.
