Of inquiry requesting the President to transmit certain information to the House of Representatives referring to the firings, dismissal, reduction in force, or withholding of pay for the period of the lapse in appropriations of furloughed employees of the United States Government.

Sponsored By: Representative Mfume, Kweisi [D-MD-7]

Introduced

Summary

Full transparency on plans to cut pay or jobs after the October 1, 2025 funding lapse. This resolution would require the President to transmit complete, unredacted documents and communications about any proposed reductions in force, legal advice about whether the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019 requires pay for furloughed employees, and related exchanges among the White House, Office of Management and Budget, Office of Personnel Management, Office of Special Counsel, and the Merit Systems Protection Board.

Show full summary
  • Federal employees and District of Columbia employees would gain access to records about any plans to withhold pay or to reduce staffing during the funding lapse. This could show whether officials considered denying pay to furloughed or excepted workers.
  • House lawmakers and oversight offices would receive those materials within 14 days of adoption, giving Congress documentary evidence to examine legal advice and coordination across agencies.
  • The request covers notes, emails, text messages, audio records, and other communications, but is limited to materials that are in the President's possession.
