Examines why Foreign Service and the Administration are both requesting that Congress change the compensation system; reviews H.R. 3202 and S. 3426, both the Foreign Service Overseas Pay Equity Act of 2008, to adjust salary levels for many employees serving abroad to be more comparable to salaries staff in D.C.; and considers issues for Congress.
