House Communications Are Now Available in Congress.gov!

As part of our latest Congress.gov enhancements, we are excited to provide access to House Communications transmitted from January 6, 2015-present (since the 114th Congress convened).

House Communications frequently consist of petitions by state and local officials, memorials, messages from the President, and reports submitted to the House by executive agencies that are sometimes required by federal legislation. Those reports that are associated with laws requiring the report can be tracked in Congress.gov by a requirement number that is assigned by the House Clerk. You will see the requirement number(s) on the right-hand side of the overview box on a communication. One law may require an agency to submit multiple reports to the House, so you may see the same requirement number associated with several different communications. Also, not all communications received by the House are related to a requirement. In those cases, no requirement will be displayed.
