The Department of State created the position of Assistant Secretary of State for
Administration during a general reorganization in December 1944, after Congress
authorized an increase in the number of Assistant Secretaries in the Department from
four to six (Dec 8, 1944; P.L. 78-472; 58 Stat. 798). The reorganization was the
first to designate substantive designations for specific Assistant Secretary
positions. The title for this position has varied over the years. Assistant
Secretaries for Administration have supervised a variety of functions ranging from
budget and personnel matters to foreign buildings and record keeping. Several of
these functions, such as accounting and diplomatic security have become the
responsibility of newly created bureaus.

The Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs is the head of the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs within the United States Department of State . The assistant secretary guides operation of the U.S. diplomatic establishment in the countries of the Asia-Pacific region and advises the secretary of state and the Under Secretary for Political Affairs on matters relating to the area.

The Department of State established the position of Assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs in 1949, after the Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of Government recommended that certain offices be upgraded to bureau level and after Congress increased the number of Assistant Secretaries of State from six to ten. On November 1, 1966, the Department by administrative action changed the incumbent's designation to Assistant Secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs. The Division of Far Eastern Affairs, established in 1908, was the first geographical division to be established in the Department of State. [1]
