# House Committee Seeks Records Preservation

On November 9, 2026, House Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member Jared Huffman said he sent records-preservation letters to 36 federal agencies and private companies, asking them to retain records relevant to committee investigations for the 120th Congress. This is an oversight and records-management notice, not a solicitation or contract award. Recipients in government and industry should review the applicable instructions and ensure responsive records are not deleted or altered.

- Contractors and other recipients should assess which records fall within the letters’ scope and preserve them in accordance with the instructions they received.
- Federal agencies identified in the extracted entities include the Department of the Interior and its Bureau of Indian Affairs and Bureau of Land Management, as well as NOAA.
- The notice may affect records-management practices for companies doing business with or otherwise contacted by the committee; the signal does not identify a procurement opportunity, contract value, or response deadline.
