    The Honorable Shalanda Young


    Director
    United States Office of Management and Budget
    725 17th St, NW
    Washington, D.C. 20503

    Dear Director Young:

    The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is continuing oversight of Executive


    Order 14019 on Promoting Access to Voting, which President Biden signed on March 7, 2021.1
    On May 13, 2024, the Committee sent you a request for documents and communications
    regarding the drafting, implementation, and third-party organizations involved with the order.2
    That request set forth a deadline of May 28, 2024, to fulfill the request and produce the relevant
    documents and communications. The Committee received a short letter response from Office of
    Management and Budget (OMB) over one month past the deadline, in which none of the
    requested documents or communications were produced.3 Additionally, OMB has not provided a
    timeline for the production of responsive documents despite several requests by Committee staff
    to work with your agency on this matter to obtain the requested documents and communications.

    For your ready reference, the Committee previously requested the following documents
    and information:

    1. The constitutional or statutory authority the President relied on in the drafting of the
    executive order;

    2. All strategic plans received by the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy
    from agencies as required by the executive order;

    3. A list of all approved third-party organizations as designated in Section 3(a)(iii)(B) of


    the executive order;

    1
    Exec. Order No. 14019 (2021).
    2
    Letter from James Comer, Chair, H. Comm. On Oversight & Accountability, to Shalanda Young, Dir., U.S. Office
    of Management and Budget (May 13, 2024).
    3
    Letter from Wintta Woldemariam, Associate Dir. Of Legislative Affairs, U.S. Office of Management and Budget,
    to James Comer, Chair, H. Comm. On Oversight & Accountability (June 28, 2024).
    The Honorable Shalanda Young

    4. All documents pertaining to the criteria for approving a third-party organization under
    the executive order; and

    5. All White House and OMB documents and communications regarding the drafting of
    the executive order.

    The Committee reiterates its outstanding requests for the information outlined in its May
    13, 2024, letter. If OMB continues to fail to produce the requested documents by September 2,
    2024, the Committee will consider additional measures, including use of the compulsory process,
    to gain compliance and obtain this critical material.

    Attached are instructions for producing the documents and information to the Committee.
    If you have any questions, please contact the Committee on Oversight and Accountability
    Majority staff at 202-225-5074.

    The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of


    the U.S. House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any
    time” under House Rule X. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

    Sincerely,

    James Comer
    Chairman
    Committee on Oversight and Accountability
