in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Congressional committees can ask certain federal officials for their opinions and advice. This applies to officials in agencies mainly dealing with foreign countries or international organizations, like the State Department. The topic must fall within that committee's jurisdiction.

If a House or Senate committee, a joint committee of Congress, or a member of one of those committees asks, an officer or employee of the State Department, the Agency for International Development, or any other federal department, agency, or independent establishment mainly concerned with foreign countries or multilateral organizations may share their views, opinions, and any recommendations they think are appropriate. This only applies if the committee's or member's request is about a subject within that committee's jurisdiction.
