It's the primary interface between our government overseas and other countries to represent American interests.
One example: When the Soviet Union disintegrated, there were a number of nuclear reactors with uranium that were no longer policed. The State Department worked very closely with the authorities in those republics or countries to make sure it didn't exported to the wrong country.
State Department has significant value.
