A bill to amend title 3, United States Code, to prescribe a process to authorize certain activities at the Executive Residence at the White House, and for other purposes.
This bill establishes a formal process requiring the President to report significant projects at the White House to two congressional committees. Specifically, any proposed activity costing over $1 million must be submitted for review, including all necessary information regardless of security classification. Once the committee chairmen confirm they have received and reviewed the details, the President receives authorization to proceed with the project. Additionally, the bill mandates that the President submit semiannual progress reports on these authorized activities to ensure ongoing oversight.
