Seventh Floor
Shorthand for the most senior leadership of the U.S. State Department. It is where the offices of the Secretary of State and his most senior aides are located.
Short-Timer
A diplomat whose assignment at a foreign post is nearing its close. A phrase borrowed from the military.
Thanks!
The Seventh Floor is also what they call the executive offices of the CIA as any fan of Tom Clancy novels knows.
The executive offices of the State Department. Including the Secretary of State’s Office is referred to as Mahogany Row.
