[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Do you mean to suggest that U.S. bureaucrats do not speak and write like English public school twits trying (lamely) to imitate a U.S. bureaucrat? I mean they all read P. G. Wodehouse and the Guardian, don't they? I suspect John Le Carré is the source of this drivel.

Oddly enough, most U.S. bureaucrats can write quite well. Its their stock and trade. They may not do much else, but wordsmithing is a skill that frequently helps them convey the impression of progress and activity (even in the absence of same).
