The Department of State advises the President in the formulation and
execution of foreign policy. As Chief Executive, the President has overallresponsibility for the foreign policy of the United States. The Departmentof State's primary objective in the conduct of foreign relations is topromote the long-range security and well-being of the United States. TheDepartment determines and analyzes the facts relating to American overseasinterests, makes recommendations on policy and future action, and takesthe necessary steps to carry out established policy. In so doing, theDepartment engages in continuous consultations with the American public,the Congress, other U.S. departments and agencies, and foreigngovernments; negotiates treaties and agreements w ith foreign nations;speaks for the United States in the United Nations and in more than 50major international organizations in which the United States participates;and represents the United States at more than 800 international
conferences annually.
The Department of State, the senior executive department of theU.S. Government, was established by act of July 27, 1789 (1 Stat. 28) asthe Department of Foreign Affairs and was renamed Department of State byact of September 15, 1789 (1 Stat. 68).
The Secretary of State is the principal official of theDepartment and performs duties enjoined or entrusted to the position bythe President in accordance with the Constitution, relative tocorrespondence, commissions, or instructions to or wit h public ministersor consuls from the United States, or to negotiations with publicministers from foreign states or princes, or to memorials or other

The act of September 15, 1789, provided that certain domesticduties, such as maintaining custody of The Great Seal of the United Statesand the publication of laws enacted by Congress, were entrusted to theDepartment. During the first few deca des of the Republic, a large numberof additional domestic functions were assigned to the Department, whichfor a time came to be the equivalent of the ``home department'' of the
