Specifically, the resolution requests that the President submit to Congress any and all documents and communications related to

• any proposed reduction in force at a federal agency related to the lapse in appropriations,

• efforts or plans to withhold pay for the period of the lapse of appropriations for excepted or furloughed federal or District of Columbia employees.

The resolution also requests that the President submit to Congress any documents or communications between the President's office, the Vice President's office, the Office of Personnel Management, the Office of Management and Budget, the Office of Special Counsel, and the Merit System Protection Board regarding these topics.
