Shown Here: Introduced in House (09/11/2025). Department of State Policy Provisions Act. This bill sets policy for the Department of State in the areas of departmental management, political affairs, international security affairs, economic affairs, foreign assistance, and public diplomacy.

The official introduced text shows Mast’s broader State Department policy vehicle, including foreign assistance and international security affairs, but it is introduced bill text and not enacted statutory language requiring the Secretary of State report on FMF loans and loan guarantees.
