House Republicans sent letters to 25 Biden administration agencies on May 18, calling for accountability on their “unacceptable” telework programs.

House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), Government Operations and Federal Workforce subcommittee chairman Pete Sessions (R-Texas), and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), requested information from the agencies about their current remote policies, and alerting them to the committee’s intention to conduct oversight into continued allowances for remote work past the end of the pandemic.
