Enhancing Diversity in U.S. National Security Agencies
This act aims to increase diversity within U.S. national security agencies, such as the State Department and the military. The goal is for these agencies to better reflect the diversity of U.S. society, which is expected to improve their effectiveness. For citizens, this means that the agencies responsible for their security will benefit from broader perspectives and experiences, potentially leading to better decisions and policies.
