AI-generated summary, report an errorThis House resolution states that FEMA, CISA, and TSA have important missions and that their career staff are essential to those missions. It expresses concern that cuts to staff and resources at these agencies since January 2025 have weakened the federal government's ability to meet its legal duties, and it states that the cuts were made without specific approval from Congress. It calls on the administration to stop further staff cuts at these agencies that Congress has not specifically authorized, to give Congress a detailed accounting of the cuts, and to nominate a permanent FEMA Administrator. As a resolution, it does not change law.
