Marco Rubio pushes amendments in bid to modify State Department operations

The legislation now moves to the Senate floor, where it was expected to be offered as an amendment to a defense bill under consideration.
The focus of the legislation is reforming operations of the State Department, as well as improving security at U.S. diplomatic posts around the world. Rubio used the vehicle to address several other concerns; according to his Senate office, seven out of nine amendments he offered were either added to the bill by committee leaders or passed by voice vote of members.
