portion of the written examination will receive a bonus of 5 points to be added to the weighted average grade he receives on the first three parts of the written examination. If a candidate's weighted average grade on the first three parts of the written examination, with the addition of the aforementioned 5 bonus points (if he is entitled to them), is 70 or higher, he will be eligible to take the oral examination. Candidates eligible for the oral examination will be given an opportunity, and will be required, to take the oral examination within 9 months after the date of the written examination. If a candidate fails to present himself for the oral examination on an agreed date within the 9 month period, his candidacy will automatically terminate. Time spent on Government duty outside the United States will not be counted.

(c) The oral examination will be given by a panel of deputy examiners selected by the Board of Examiners from a roster of Foreign Service officers, officers from the Department of State and other Government agencies, and qualified private citizens who by prior service as members of selection boards or through other appropriate activities have demonstrated special qualifications for this work. The examination will be conducted in the light of all available information concerning the candidate and will be designed to determine his competence to perform the work of a Foreign Service officer at home and abroad, his potential for growth in the Service, and his suitability to serve as a representative of the United States abroad. Determinations of duly constituted panels of deputy examiners are final, unless modified by specific action of the Board of Examiners for the Foreign Service.

(d) Candidates appearing for the oral examination will be graded "recommended for class 8", "recommended for class 7", or "not recommended".

§ 11.4 Physical examination for appointment to class 8.

(a) A candidate graded "recommended" on the oral examination will be eligible for the physical examination.

(b) The physical examination will be designed to determine the candidate's physical fitness to perform the duties

of a Foreign Service officer and to determine the presence of any physical, nervous or mental disease or defect of such a nature as to make it unlikely that he would become a satisfactory officer. The Executive Director of the Board of Examiners for the Foreign Service, with the concurrence of the Director, Medical Division, may make such exceptions to these physical requirements as are in the interest of the Service. All such exceptions shall be reported to the Board of Examiners for the Foreign Service at its next meeting.

(c) The physical examination will be conducted either by medical officers of the Armed Services, the Public Health Service, the Department, or accredited colleges and universities, or, with the approval of the Board of Examiners, by private physicians.

(d) The Board of Examiners will determine on the basis of the report of the physician(s) who conducted the physical examination whether the candidate has met the standards set forth in paragraph (b) in this section.

[Dept. Reg. 108.476, 27 F.R. 469, Jan. 17, 1962] § 11.5 Certification for appointment to class 8.

No person will be certified as eligible for appointment as a Foreign Service officer of class 8 unless he is at least 21 years of age, has been a citizen of the United States for at least 10 years, and, if married, is married to a citizen of the United States. A person shall be certified as eligible for direct appointment to class 7 if in addition to meeting these specifications he is at least 25 years old and has a record of graduate training or employment which clearly demonstrates ability and special skills for which there is a need in the Foreign Service. Recommended candidates who meet these requirements, who pass their physical examinations, and who, on the basis of investigation are found to be loyal to the Government of the United States and personally suitable to represent it abroad, will have their names placed on the rank-order register for class 8 appointments or, if deemed appropriate by the Board of Examiners, in the light of their age and education or employment record, on the rank-order register for class 7 appointments and they will be certified for appointment, in accordance with the needs of the Service in the order of their standing on their respective registers.
