AI Summary
This resolution requests the President to provide the House of Representatives with unredacted documents within 14 days, specifically seeking information about the administration's practices regarding electronic communications. The resolution focuses on four key areas of inquiry: (1) the administration's plan to preserve official communications in compliance with federal recordkeeping requirements, including those containing sensitive national security information sent via platforms like Signal, SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp, Teams, MatterMost, Slack, and Gmail; (2) the conduct of official business on federal government devices using these platforms; (3) the conduct of official business on personal devices using these platforms, potentially in violation of federal law; and (4) plans and procedures to prevent automatic deletion of communications that would violate federal recordkeeping requirements. The resolution aims to ensure transparency and accountability in the administration's communication practices, particularly concerning the handling of sensitive national security information across various electronic communication platforms.
