The Foreign Service Lift, issued quarterly by the Department of State, is compiled primarily for use by the Department of State, the Foreign Service, and other United States Government Agencies to provide information on the assignments of Foreign Service personnel and other United States personnel assigned overseas. The information it contains has also been found useful by American business firms, various groups and individuals, and foreign governments.
The Lift includes: chiefs of mission; Foreign Service officers; Foreign Service Reserve officers; Foreign Service Staff officers of class nine and above; Foreign Service Staff officers of class ten and eleven with the title vice consul when assigned to a post having a complement of one, two or three officers; and consular agents. Special sections are also included On officers of the International Cooperation Administration, the United States Information Agency, the Foreign Agricultural Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, and the Departments of Army, Navy, and Air Force.
Personnel are listed in this publication at their respective posts, with their titles, category, and class. The date of assignment listed for ambassadors and ministers is the date of attestation and/or recess appointment; for all other officers at the post, the effective date of transfer is listed except in cases where a commission is involved for a consul general, consul, or vice consul. This information is taken from personnel action forms.
The listing of personnel at Embassy and Legation posts is by section and is alphabetical within the section with the exception of the chief of mission, the deputy chief of mission, and the section chief who are listed first under each section. At all other posts the listing is alphabetical except for the principal officer who appears first under each post.
