Editing Inman Report (section)

{{More citations needed|date=February 2016}}
The '''Inman Report''', formally known as the '''Report of the Secretary of State's Advisory Panel on Overseas Security''', was a report released in 1985 in response to the [[Marine barracks bombing]] and the [[April 1983 US Embassy bombing]] in [[Beirut, Lebanon]]. The report is usually known by the name of its chairman, Admiral [[Bobby Ray Inman]], [[United States Navy|USN]] (Ret.)

The report recommended a range of security improvements, including increased [[Setback (land use)|setback]] between [[embassy|embassies]] and public streets. It also recommended a major building program to improve security in existing embassies, and build new embassies to replace those that could not meet security standards. A direct result from the Report was the creation of the [[Bureau of Diplomatic Security]] and the [[Diplomatic Security Service]] within the U.S. State Department.
