## Summary

This resolution would require the President to transmit **complete, unredacted presidential communications** about a targeted October 2025 lapse in appropriations. It zeroes in on four categories of communications tied to an OMB directive, a HUD public message, Education out-of-office messages for furloughed employees, and interagency talks about possible legal violations. - House oversight staff would receive copies of documents and communications on those four topics and must get them within 14 days. - The request covers materials in the President's possession and explicitly lists meeting notes, audio recordings, telephone and electronic mail records, text messages, and other digital messages. It names OMB, HUD, the Department of Education, the Office of the President, the Office of the Vice President, the Office of Personnel Management, and the Office of Special Counsel where relevant.
