To ensure transparency on the authority you have granted Mr. Musk and the legal authority he has to direct DOGE, I request that you provide substantive documentation regarding his formal role.

The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is the principal oversight committee of the House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate 'any matter' at 'any time'.

I write to express my concern regarding your direct contradiction of a sworn statement by a White House official.

Elon Musk and DOGE can’t be allowed to creep on Americans’ most sensitive data as they operate in the shadows.

in direct contradiction to Mr. Fisher's sworn statement, at a press conference on the evening of February 19, 2025, you stated, 'I signed an order creating the Department of Government Efficiency and put a man named Elon Musk in charge.'

Elon Musk and DOGE can't be allowed to creep on Americans' most sensitive data as they operate in the shadows.

This is an important step, and inspectors general must be free to pursue their investigations without interference.

Who is this unelected billionaire that he can attempt to dismantle federal agencies, fire people, transfer them, offer them early retirement and have sweeping changes to federal agencies without having any congressional review?

I have to say I am persuaded in your tenure and in your testimony today that you are certainly committed to the Postal Service and in making it viable.

I want to make sure that I am on the record again that I support the conversion to electronic vehicles.

I believe, because of the carbon footprint that those vehicles alone are responsible for, that we have an obligation as a government to try to find a way to reduce emissions.

Could those budget counts conceivably have an impact on your ability to do the enumeration you are required to do by the Constitution?

The Census is to count every person in the United States.

This Project 2025 proposal is dangerous and threatens to hurt families across Ohio and the country.

Instead of cutting funding for the Bureau, as House Republicans have tried to do this year and years past, we need to make sure it has the resources it needs to conduct the planning and preparatory work that are essential to a truly…

It does not say 'American citizen.'

the assumption that, A, the Census was politically motivated, is based on nothing
