The United States Government cannot mandate religious freedom around the world. but America can lead the world in spreading respect for religious beliefsjust as we used the power of our example and determination to spread liberty. democracy and economic freedom around the globe. This bill will focus U.S. Government attention on religious persecution. It will make religious freedom part of American diplomacy from the training of foreign service officers to the granting of visa requests to the use of our Embassy facilities. This bill also will shine the light of day on countries. or entities within countries. that engage in religious persecution. It will require annual reporting on the state of religious freedom in every country. as well as annual publication of all actions the United States Government is taking around the world to promote religious liberty.
