SUBJECT: Foreign Travel by U. S. Officials
Foreign travel by high level U. S. officials is essential to
the conduct of our nation's business. Such travel, however, is
in itself a part of our foreign policy.
Any such foreign travel should be for specific reasons which are
consistent with our overall national security policy and should
be conducted by a delegation as small as possible.
You have already reviewed your general travel policies and
practices as directed in my memorandum of December 16, 1981.
This directive establishes procedures for foreign travel by
senior officials of the Executive Branch.
Foreign. travel proposals of officials at or above the rank of
Assistant Secretary (or equivalent rank) of Executive Departments
and Agencies are to be submitted to the Assistant to the President
for National Security Affairs for my approval.
With as much advance notice as possible, the Assistant to the
President for National Security Affairs should be furnished the
following information:
? Objectives of the trip
? Names of senior participants
? Itinerary
? List of major events, meetings and
appearances
Upon the completion of such trips or, if appropriate, while they
are in progress, a report should be submitted to me through my
Assistant for National Security Affairs, noting the response of
host governments to U. S. proposals and other significant
information.
