Department of State
- [Public Notice: 12937]
All information reported to the Office of the Chief of Protocol, including gift appraisal and donor information, is the responsibility of the employing agency, in accordance with applicable law and GSA regulations.
The Office of the Chief of Protocol, Department of State, submits the following comprehensive listing of the ( printed page 3950) statements which, as required by law, federal employees filed with their employing agencies during calendar year 2024 concerning gifts received from foreign government sources. The compilation includes reports of both tangible gifts and gifts of travel or travel expenses of more than minimal value, as defined in 5 U.S.C. 7432 and GSA regulations. For calendar year 2024 (January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024), minimal value is $480.00.
Consistent with Title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 3.4, the report includes all reported gifts given on a single occasion when the aggregate value of those gifts exceeds minimal value. Also included are one gift from 2017, one gift from 2021, three gifts from 2022, and nineteen gifts from 2023. These latter gifts are being reported in this year's report for calendar year 2024 because the Office of the Chief of Protocol, Department of State, did not receive the relevant information at the time of reporting to include them in earlier reports. Agencies not listed in this report either did not receive relevant gifts during the calendar year, did not transmit a listing to the Secretary of State of all statements filed during the preceding year by the employees of that agency pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 7432(f)(1), or did not respond to the State Department's Office of the Chief of Protocol's request for data. The U.S. Senate maintains an internal minimal value of $100; therefore, all gifts over the $100 limit are furnished in the U.S. Senate report.
Authority: Section 7342(f) of Title 5, United States Code, as added by Section 515(a)(1) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 1978 (Pub. L. 95-105, August 17, 1977, 91 Stat. 865).
Jason S. Evans,
Under Secretary for Management, U.S. Department of State.
