A bill to amend title 3, United States Code, to prescribe a process to authorize certain activities at the Executive Residence at the White House, and for other purposes.

This bill would require the President to send two congressional committees, one in the Senate and one in the House, a description of any planned improvement or activity at the White House Executive Residence costing more than $1,000,000 from all funding sources, including changes to previously approved projects. The submission must include all information the two committee chairs consider necessary for review, regardless of classification. The President could carry out the project only after each chair publishes a statement in the Congressional Record saying the chair received the information and reviewed the project. The President would also have to send the chairs progress reports on approved projects by June 1 and December 1 each year.
