under his leadership we have welcomed 827 foreign service employees, and we have set our foreign service and civil service target staffing levels at 454 employees aboth employee december 31st, 2017 on boarding staff levels specified in the congressional fiscal '18 appropriations. we've stepped up employee engagement and communication and taken steps to expand training and professional development, fill vacancies and reward the work being done by our employees. as director general of the foreign service and director of human resources i will focus my remarks on the $2.8 billion of that request for human resources and the department's global work force. our people, foreign service, civil service, family members, locally em employed staff are our greatest resource and they deserve our full support. these women and men work at home and abroad in service to the country. our american personnel swear an oath to protect and defend the constitution, often at great sacrifice to themselves and their families. our locally employed staff sometimes incur great risks working for the united states. will

it is true that foreign aid is a tiny, tiny, tiny amount of money, but when you consider that most foreign aid goes to dictators and not to benefit the people in their countries. william easterly, my colleague at nyu, and economist at the world bank, has demonstrated this aptly. we have to understand that it's a tremendous amount of money when it's going to a small group of people in each of the recipient countries that's being divided over a very small pool. i hope i'm remembering the statistic correctly. i believe it is the case -- it's one of my papers -- a 1% increase over average per capita foreign aid increases the survival prospects of an autocrat by 32% per year. that is they have a one-third better chance of being in office next year than they would have had without that small increment over average foreign aid. that's what foreign aid is buying, and they are giving us policies we want in exchange for that money. so it's not so easy to translate foreign aid into a democracy promotion tool when the sad reality is that if you ask the question -- four questions, who gives aid, how mu
