Four Globetrotters: My Letter to Congress Regarding Overseas Comparabi...

Four Globetrotters: My Letter to Congress Regarding Overseas Comparabi...: "Below is a letter sent to Senators Jim Webb and Mark Warner, and Congressman Gerry Connelly from another Foreign Service officer (FSO). I only post this to show you the complexities of serving in the FS abroad and the sacrifices that many of the FSO's and their families make to live and serve abroad. We too have been through some interesting situations that I would love to write about someday. But...I thought many of you might find her story interesting reading.

I did a speed read and it's clear our foreign service personnel make tremendous sacrifices. Locality pay sounds like an excellent idea, but in today's environment, I doubt the idea will go far. Unfortunately, the image of government workers has been heading downhill long before the current Wisconsin situation.
