Elis Briggs, 63, testifies to a Senate committee that many embassies worldwide could run with half or less of current staff. He notes loyal, capable workers but argues posts in comfortable climates attract too many personnel and that personnel should be reassigned or programs concluded to reduce total embassy headcount. He cites posts in Jakarta Indonesia and other locations as examples of overstaffing and slow turnover.
