Letter to Tulsi Gabbard

Dear Director Gabbard:

As Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, I write to request records related to the Committee’s ongoing investigation into the origins of COVID-19 and risky life sciences research. The Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs has jurisdiction over government information and the duty of “studying the efficiency, economy, and effectiveness of all agencies and departments of the Government.”

1 Additionally, the Committee is authorized to investigate “the possible existence of fraud, misfeasance, malfeasance, collusion, mismanagement, incompetence, corruption or unethical practices, waste, extravagance, conflicts of interest, and the improper expenditure of Government funds in transactions, contracts, and activities of the Government or of Government officials and employees and any and all such improper practices between Government personnel and corporations, individuals, companies, or persons affiliated therewith, doing business with the Government, and the compliance or noncompliance of such corporations, companies, or individuals or other entities with the rules, regulations, and laws governing the various governmental agencies and the Government’s relationships with the public.”
