Sources: State, no. 230 (January 1981), p. 27, for figures through 1980; the 1984 figures are taken from the list of posts in Appendix B. U.S. missions to international organizations and the embassy offices in Geneva and Dubai have been excluded from the total of diplomatic posts to keep the 1984 figures consistent with those for earlier years.
