  Of inquiry requesting the President and directing the Secretary of 
Health and Human Services to transmit, respectively, certain documents 
to the House of Representatives relating to the effect on taxpayer and 
     child privacy of the seizure by the so-called ``Department of 
  Government Efficiency'' of legally-protected identity and financial

                        Parent Locator Service.

    Resolved, That the President of the United States is requested, and 
the Secretary of Health and Human Services is directed, to transmit, to 
the extent that such documents are in the possession of the President 
or the Secretary, to the House of Representatives, not later than 14 
days after the date of adoption of this resolution, copies of any 
document, record, audio recording, memorandum, call log, correspondence 
(electronic or otherwise), activity logs, audit trails, audit logs,

communication, that refers or relates to the following:
            (1) Any request from the United States DOGE Service 
        (commonly referred to as the ``Department of Government 
        Efficiency'' or ``DOGE''), and any authorization provided to 
        DOGE, to access any information on any American worker which is 
        protected under section 453 of the Social Security Act or 
        section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and stored in 
        the National Database of New Hires (in this resolution referred

            (2) The location of, and data security protections applied 
        to, any copies of all or part of the data made by DOGE 
        employees.
            (3) Prior legal opinions or other internal communications 
        regarding requests to access NDNH data for purposes not 
        specified in such section 453 or without a negotiated 
        memorandum of understanding setting forth conditions of access, 
        limiting the number of individuals with access, or requiring 
        training, background checks, and other qualifications for those 
        individuals accessing the data.
            (4) Any request from DOGE for any confidential financial 
        information or personally identifiable information of more than 
        40,000,000 Americans, including over 19,000,000 which is stored 
        in the Federal Parent Locator Service (in this resolution 
        referred to as ``FPLS''), which is used to facilitate child 
        support payments to children from non-custodial parents.
            (5) Staff terminations, retirements, or resignations of 
        employees of the Department of Health and Human Services with 
        responsibilities related to the FPLS or the NDNH after the date 
        of the first request by DOGE for information stored in the 
        Federal Case Registry.
            (6) Any attempt by DOGE employees to access information
