The State Department has notified Congress of a reorganization plan to develop a “more agile” department, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Thursday.

“Since my first day as Secretary, I have said that this Department must move at the speed of relevancy and, in April announced a broad reorganization of the Department to better achieve that goal. Today, we took the next step in that process by notifying Congress of how we plan to do that,” Rubio said in a release.

“The reorganization plan will result in a more agile Department, better equipped to promote America’s interests and keep Americans safe across the world.”
