House Oversight Committee lawmakers are signaling they could subpoena Biden agencies for information on how many workers are not coming into the office.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer is threatening to force Biden administration agencies to hand over information on their remote work policies and data.
Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., along with Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Pete Sessions of Texas, who chairs the subcommittee on government operations and the, sent that warning to various Biden administration departments and agencies, pointing out that they had not responded to an earlier request for internal data.
The GOP lawmakers’ demand comes just days after reports surfaced of an internal White House memo urging Cabinet secretaries and officials to push more employees back into the office.White House chief of staff Jeff Zients called on federal agencies to make"increases in the amount of in-person work," according to the Washington Post."This is a priority of the President – and I am looking to each of you to aggressively execute this shift in September and October," he wrote.
The Republicans’ letter noted that the Office of Management and Budget directed agencies in April to develop plans to ramp up their volume of in-person work. They accused those agencies of deliberately withholding those plans now."In a recent briefing to Committee on Oversight and Accountability staff, OMB officials stated that nearly all Chief Financial Officers Act agencies have submitted plans for review," the letter said.
The GOP request comes days after chief of staff Jeff Zients reportedly sent a memo to Cabinet officials calling on them to"aggressively" push an in-office work environment.
