Today, Education and Labor Committee Republican Leader Virginia Foxx (R-NC) sent a letter to Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh demanding responses to four oversight letters that are now more than a month past due.
In the letter, Rep. Foxx writes: “Responses to each of these letters is important in order for Congress to fulfill its duty of overseeing the operations and decision-making of DOL. Responses to these letters are now more than a month past due. I am deeply disappointed and dissatisfied with DOL’s continued failure to provide timely, written responses to these inquiries.”
“Simply put: DOL is derelict in its duty,” Foxx continues. “This follows more than a year of inadequate responses from DOL that fail to provide specific answers to any of our requests for information and materials. The Biden administration and DOL have time and again demonstrated their lack of respect for Congressional oversight.”
“It is my duty to conduct oversight and I will continue to request written answers so that Members of Congress and the public can understand DOL’s operations and decision-making. DOL can expect more oversight inquiries from Committee Republicans this year, and it should be prepared to provide information within the timeframes requested,” Foxx concluded.
