HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, 

COMMITTEE ON HOUSE ADMINISTRATION, 

Washington, DC. 

The Committee met, pursuant to call, at 10:48 a.m., in Room 

1310, Longworth House Office Building, Hon. Candice S. Miller 

[chairman of the Committee] presiding. 

Present: Representatives Miller, Harper, Nugent, Davis, Comstock, Brady, Lofgren, and Vargas. 

Staff Present: Sean Moran, Staff Director; John Clocker, Deputy 

Staff Director; Katie Patru, Deputy Staff Director; Erin 

McCracken, Communications Director; Brad Walvort, Professional 

Staff Member; Cole Felder, Legal Counsel; C. Maggie Moore, Legislative Clerk; Tim Sullivan, Staff Assistant; Jamie Fleet, Minority 

Staff Director; Matt Pinkus, Minority Senior Policy Advisor; Khalil 

Abboud, Minority Deputy Staff Director/Director of Legislative Operations; Mike Harrison, Minority Chief Counsel. 

The CHAIRMAN. I call to order the Committee on House Administration for today’s Committee meeting. A quorum is present, so we 

can proceed here. 

The meeting record will remain open for 5 legislative days so 

that members might submit any material that they wish to be included therein. 

The CHAIRMAN. There are a numbers of items that we have on 

our docket today. Actually, I think we have eight different items. 

We are going to be talking about transferring the House Safe Program; updating Voucher Documentation Standards; updating the 

National Gallery of Art boundaries; the Gold Star Families Voices 

Act; reauthorizing the sound and recording film preservation programs of the Library of Congress, among other items; permitting 

the United States Capitol Police to accept certain property from 

other Federal agencies and to dispose of certain property in its possession; the Library Modernization Act; and amending the Federal 

Election Campaign Act of 1971. 

Our Committee is charged with oversight of the operations of the 

House, which includes the responsibility to ensure that the institution remains open and accountable to the American taxpayers. Additionally, of course, we strive to modernize the House where possible. This is not a static environment; it is quite dynamic actually, 

which requires us to constantly review and to revise our policies to 


smartinez on DSK3GLQ082PROD with HEARING
2 

best meet the unique needs of the legislative branch. As we say, 

the largest room is always the room for improvement. 

Over the past year, the Members of our Committee have worked 

in conjunction with the House Committee on Ethics, with House 

Leadership, and our support offices on a number of updates to 

strengthen and modernize the regulations governing official expenses. These rules, which are periodically updated in the Member 

Handbook, exist to ensure that Members operate within the framework of established House rules and guidelines. 

So our first resolution today transfers the management of the 

House Safe Program from the Chief Administrative Officer to the 

House Sergeant at Arms. Members, of course, can request a safe 

for their office and now the Sergeant at Arms will control the oversight of the combination access and inventory. 

The second Committee Resolution is to approve updates to the 

House’s Voucher Documentation Standards. These codified standards, which incorporate input from the House CAO, the House Inspector General, and the Member office financial points of contacts, 

were finalized after a complete review of existing Vouchers Standards and practices. They update existing regulations, they reflect 

current practice, and they remove outdated terminology. The objective here is to ensure that the required documentation is provided 

when spending taxpayers’ dollars. 

The next step is ensuring that all offices understand these updates. So after passage, all of the CAO’s financial personnel will receive training to guarantee that these newly implemented standards are followed. Additionally, we will be hosting educational 

briefings and trainings for the financial administrators in our 

Member offices, our committees, of course, and the House support 

offices. 

Next on our list of bills is legislation related to the National Gallery of Art. H.R. 5160 updates existing statute that defines the policing boundaries of the National Gallery of Art’s buildings and 

grounds. The updates include the former Corcoran Gallery of Art’s 

buildings, the Mellon Foundation, and any leased space the Gallery 

requires for their operations. This language mirrors the authority 

already provided for the Smithsonian police force. 

After that, we will take up legislation for the Gold Star Families 

Voices Act. This updates the Library of Congress Veterans’ Oral 

History Project that was created by Congress in 2000. The project’s 

mission is to collect, preserve, and make accessible American war 

veterans’ accounts of events. Currently, submissions are limited to 

firsthand veteran accounts. 

This piece of legislation was championed by Representative Chris 

Smith of New Jersey. This bill will allow the immediate family 

members of veterans who died as a result of their wartime service 

or were missing in action to provide stories on behalf of their relatives who gave their lives for their country. It has received the 

support of American Gold Star Mothers, Inc., which is a group of 

mothers who have lost a son or daughter in service of our great Nation. 

I think this is an important addition that will certainly only advance the Veterans’ History Project, which marked its 100,000th 

veteran account this year.

The next bill, introduced by Ranking Member Brady, reauthorizes the sound recording and film preservation boards and foundations of the Library of Congress. H.R. 4092 extends the sunset 

dates for the Library’s National Recording Preservation Board and 

the National Recording Preservation Foundation, as well as the 

National Film Preservation Board and National Film Preservation 

Foundation, through the year 2026. 

These sound recordings and films provide a tremendous amount 

of value when preserving our past, present, and future. These artistic works are snapshots of a generation’s culture, ideas, dreams, 

and innovations that make up our Nation’s heritage. 

Then, the next agenda item updates current U.S. Code to permit 

the U.S. Capitol Police to accept certain surplus property from 

other Federal agencies. Additionally, it allows them to dispose of 

certain property, such as unclaimed lost and found items, which 

have been left by visitors in the U.S. Capitol and congressional 

buildings. H.R. 4733, introduced, again, by Ranking Member 

Brady, will modify U.S. Code and model its program after the executive branch property regulations. 

Then we are going to move on to a bill introduced last week by 

myself and Ranking Member Brady, as well as our Committee’s 

vice chair, Gregg Harper. H.R. 5227, the Library of Congress Modernization Act of 2016, grants the National Library Service for the 

Blind, under the jurisdiction of the Library of Congress, the ability 

to provide greater access to braille resources, specifically digital 

braille readers and materials. Increasing this access is of significant importance and a creative and innovative use of today’s modern technology. 

Additionally, the bill authorizes the creation of the National Collection of Stewardship Fund intended to ease the challenges the Library faces with its collection and storage backlog of material and 

infrastructure needs. Existing appropriated funds can be allocated 

in order to assist with supplying sufficient resources for the Library’s needs. 

The last item—we sort of packed in a number of them here 

today—is H.R. 4734, a bill introduced, again, by Ranking Member 

Brady, to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 in regard to those who might distribute campaign funds for a candidate’s Federal election campaign. 

Under current Federal law, only the campaign treasurer is authorized to disburse campaign funds, and that includes disbursing 

these funds in the event the candidate should pass away. 

Should this bill become law, it would allow candidates running 

for Federal office the opportunity to designate an additional individual, separate from the campaign treasurer, who would be authorized to distribute campaign funds in the event of the death of 

the candidate. 

I certainly want to thank all the Members for being here today. 

A lot of different items on the agenda today, and so many of them, 

certainly in a bipartisan effort, are to ensure that the right policies 

are happening here and positively impact this House as an institution. 

At this time, I would like to recognize the Ranking Member, Mr. 

Brady from Pennsylvania, for his opening statement.

Mr. BRADY. Thank you, Madam Chairman. Just to say thank you 

for having this hearing and moving these bills forward. 

The CHAIRMAN. Any other Member wish to make an opening 

statement? 

Okay. I will now call before the Committee our first agenda item, 

the Committee Resolution 114 instructing the House Chief Administrative Officer to submit a plan for the transfer of the House Safe 

Program to be managed by the House Sergeant at Arms Security 

Office. 

Without objection, the first reading of the resolution is dispensed 

with, the resolution is considered read and open for amendment at 

any point.

The CHAIRMAN. This is, as I mentioned, a commonsense transfer 

of responsibility over the management of this specific office equipment. 

Any comment from Mr. Brady? 

Mr. BRADY. Yes, Madam Chair. I support the Committee’s resolution. It makes sense to move jurisdiction of the Safe Program to the 

Sergeant at Arms because they are expert in handling sensitive 

classified information. I am glad that we could work together to 

bring a commonsense measure that ensures the continued maintenance of the Safe Program. 

Thank you. 

The CHAIRMAN. I appreciate the gentleman’s comments. 

Any other Members wish to comment? 

If not, I move the Committee adopt the Committee Resolution. 

The question is on the motion to adopt the resolution. 

All Members who are in favor, signify by saying aye. 

Opposed, say nay. 

In the opinion of the Chair, the ayes have it, the ayes have it. 

The motion is agreed to. And without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. 

Item two. I now call before the Committee our next agenda item, 

the Committee Resolution updating the Voucher Documentation 

Standards. 

Without objection, the first reading of the resolution is dispensed 

with, and the resolution is considered read and open for amendment at any point.

The CHAIRMAN. These documentation standards have not been 

updated actually since 2010, and the updates included within the 

Committee Resolution codify these standards with the existing regulations, reflect current practice, and remove outdated terminology. 

Any comment from Mr. Brady? 

Mr. BRADY. Madam Chair, I support the long overdue strengthening of the Voucher Documentation Standards and urge the adoption of the resolution. 

The CHAIRMAN. Any other Member like to offer comments or an 

amendment to the resolution? 

Mr. Davis. 

Mr. DAVIS. Thank you, Madam Chairman. 

Thank you to Ranking Member Brady and this entire Committee. 

As somebody who used to actually file the vouchers as a member 

of the congressional staff for one of our colleagues, these updates 

I think are overdue, and I think they are going to go a long way 

in ensuring that the House processes more closely resemble documentation standards in the private sector. 

So thank you all for your assistance. I would like to especially 

thank Ms. Lofgren for helping us go through this process just a few 

short months ago. 

I yield back. 

The CHAIRMAN. I certainly want to thank both Mr. Davis and 

Ms. Lofgren for all of the work that they did on this. It was many, 

many hours, and I think the institution will be so much better for 

it. 

I recognize the gentlelady. 

Ms. LOFGREN. Just to add that it is good to see the follow-up 

from the work that we did on the task force. 

And I yield back. 

The CHAIRMAN. Any other Member? 

If not, I move the Committee adopt the Committee Resolution. 

The question is on the motion to adopt the resolution. 

All Members in favor, signify by saying aye. 

Opposed, say nay. 

In the opinion of the Chair, the ayes have it, the ayes have it. 

The motion is agreed to. Without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. 

We now call before the Committee our next agenda item, which 

is H.R. 5160, a bill to amend Title 40, United States Code, to include as part of the buildings and grounds of the National Gallery 

of Art any buildings and other areas within the boundaries of any 

real estate or other property interests acquired by the National 

Gallery of Art. 

Without objection, the first reading of the bill is dispensed with 

and the bill is considered read and open for amendment at any 

point.

The CHAIRMAN. The National Gallery of Art recently acquired 

new properties, and this measure updates the respective U.S. Code 

to include those properties within their policing boundaries. 

I recognize my Ranking Member, Mr. Brady, for any statement 

he may have. 

Mr. BRADY. Thank you, Madam Chairman. I concur with your 

statement on this legislation, and I urge members to vote in favor 

of the legislation. 

The CHAIRMAN. Any other Members have comments or amendments? 

If not, I move the Committee favorably report the bill to the 

House. The question is on the motion. 

All Members in favor, signify by saying aye.

The CHAIRMAN. Again, I believe the inclusion of these accounts 

from the loved ones of those that have given their lives in the service of our Nation will only enhance the Library’s Veterans’ History 

Project, which is a fantastic project, quite frankly. 

Just on a note here, on Sunday, actually, we had an event in my 

district where I was able to give a commemorative pin to over 300 

Vietnam veterans. Really, it was one of the best things I think I 

have ever been involved in since I have been a Member of Congress. 

But there are two of those individuals who were a part of my 

particular videotaping that we did for the Veterans’ History 

Project. One fellow in particular, who is now 82, 83 years old, I 

think he spent 51⁄2 years in the Hanoi Hilton. There are 123 of 

those guys, and John McCain, there are 123 of those guys. He is 

one of them, and he is part of my Veterans’ History Project. I think 

most of the Members have done these, and it is a fantastic way to 

archive this kind of history for future generations, so I think this 

is an important part of that. 

And I would ask Mr. Brady if he has any comments. 

Mr. BRADY. Yes, thank you, Madam Chair. 

One of our greatest national treasures is our veterans. I have 

over 28,000 veterans in my district, and each one of these veterans 

and their families have powerful stories that should be recorded for 

future generations. That is what this legislation is about, and that 

is why I am pleased to support it. 

In the 106th Congress, I was the original cosponsor of the Veterans’ Oral History Project. The Veterans’ Oral History Project allows for American veterans to submit their firsthand experiences 

of their service to our country through audio and video recordings. 

In addition, American veterans and the families of deceased veterans may still participate by submitting veteran memorabilia such 

as diaries or letters that the veterans may have written during 

wartime. 

The legislation before us would expand on that work by allowing 

the immediate family members of deceased veterans that died in 

conflict and were missing in action to submit audio-video recordings of their second or third hand accounts of their family member’s life as a veteran. 

I thank the Chair for considering this measure today. I hope that 

we continue to work with the Library of Congress to guarantee 

that we preserve as many of these important stories as possible, 

and I urge my colleagues to support this measure. 

The CHAIRMAN. I thank the gentleman. 

Any other Member want to offer comments or amendment? 

If not, I move the Committee favorably report the bill to the 

House. The question is on the motion. 

All Members in favor, signify by saying aye. 

Opposed, say nay. 

In the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it, the ayes have it. 

The motion is agreed to. Without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table.

The CHAIRMAN. This bill extends the sunset dates, which are currently set to expire at the end of the year, for the Library’s National Recording Preservation Board and the National Recording 

Preservation Foundation, as well as the National Film Preservation 

Board and National Film Preservation Foundation. The measure 

extends each of these authorities of the boards and the foundations 

through the year 2026. 

I will note again that these boards and foundations do a tremendous amount of work to preserve what is considered a significant 

portion of our Nation’s heritage. They seek to preserve these works 

for posterity, and I am pleased to see their continued function. 

I would now recognize the Ranking Member, Mr. Brady, for any 

statement he may have. 

Mr. BRADY. Thank you, Madam Chair. 

Since it is my bill, I am definitely for it. I was chairman when 

we did this last time, and I was for it then too. I support this program that will expire September 30. With minimal cost to taxpayers, the Library is working with interested private organizations, State and local governments, and others in every State to 

identify, preserve, and make accessible numerous significant films 

and sound recordings that will likely otherwise be lost forever. This 

is a simple reauthorization of an important program that is working. We should support it. 

I yield back. Thank you. 

The CHAIRMAN. I thank the gentleman. 

Any other Member wish to offer comments or an amendment? 

If not, I move the Committee favorably report this bill to the

The CHAIRMAN. This bill updates the current U.S. Code to allow 

the U.S. Capitol Police to accept certain surplus items, as well as 

to dispose of certain property, such as unclaimed lost-and-found 

items, which has been left by visitors either at the U.S. Capitol or 

congressional buildings, from the department’s possession. 

I would recognize our Ranking Member, Mr. Brady, if he has any 

statement. 

Mr. BRADY. Thank you, Madam Chairman. I appreciate your including this measure for consideration today. 

While the proposed legislation may not be the most serious problem confronting America today, it responds to a formal legislative 

request and the Committee owes the police its attention, and I support this bill. 

The CHAIRMAN. I thank the gentleman. 

Any other Member wish to offer an amendment or comment on 

the bill? 

Yes, the gentleman from California. 

Mr. VARGAS. The only comment I would make is to thank the 

Capitol Police. I have had such great service here. I really appreciate the work that they do, and I hope that you take that back 

to them. Thank you.

The CHAIRMAN. This bill provides updates to the Library’s authorization. One wonderful aspect of this bill is that it paves the 

way for the National Library Services for the Blind to provide 

greater access to braille resources, especially digital braille readers 

and materials. Increasing this access to the great works housed at 

the Library I think is of significant importance and it is an innovative use of today’s modern technology. 

The bill will also authorize the creation of a National Collection 

Stewardship Fund intended to ease the challenges the Library 

faces with its collection and storage backlog of material infrastructure needs. This fund should be able to be filled by transferring appropriated dollars from existing funds to assist in applying sufficient resources for Library needs. 

I recognize the Ranking Member, Mr. Brady, for any statement 

he may have. 

Mr. BRADY. Thank you, Madam Chair. I was pleased to cosponsor 

your bill. 

This bill includes three of the five provisions of my H.R. 4093 

that I introduced last year at the Library’s request, and I urge my 

colleagues to support it too. Since two provisions to H.R. 4093 did 

not make it into this bill, I have introduced a new bill carrying 

them and hope we will consider that bill at the next markup. One 

or both of these provisions to improve the Library’s gift authority 

and revolving funds have passed before but has not gone the distance. I believe you should take another look. 

In the meantime, I strongly support this bill. Thank you for 

bringing it forward. And I yield back. 

The CHAIRMAN. I thank the gentleman. And I certainly commit 

to working with him for the other provisions that he has just mentioned. 

Any other Member like to offer an amendment or comment? 

If not, I move the Committee favorably report this bill to the 

House. The question is on the motion. 

All Members in favor of the motion, please signify by saying aye. 

Opposed, say nay. 

In the opinion of the Chair, the ayes have it, the ayes have it. 

The motion is agreed to. Without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. 

We now call before the Committee our next and our final agenda 

item for the markup before we go into our hearing, and this is H.R. 

4734, to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971. This 

bill will allow candidates running for Federal office the opportunity 

to designate an additional individual, separate from the campaign 

treasurer, who would be authorized to distribute campaign funds 

in the event of the death of the candidate. 

Without objection, the first reading of the bill is dispensed with, 

and the bill is considered read and open for amendment at any 

point.

The CHAIRMAN. I recognize the Ranking Member, Mr. Brady, for 

any statement that he wishes to give. 

Mr. BRADY. Madam Chair, first thank you for including H.R. 

4734 among the other bills for consideration today. This is a bill 

to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act. The bill allows a candidate for Federal office to designate someone to disburse their 

campaign funds in the event of his or her death. The Federal candidate would be able to designate this person by filing an appropriate form with the FEC and could change the designee at any 

time. 

Our friend from North Carolina, Walter Jones, has championed 

this proposal for many years. I was pleased that he worked with 

me this year to get the measure reintroduced. 

This bill is familiar to the Committee. Should we report this bill 

favorably, it would be the fourth time it has been sent to the floor 

where it passed on three previous occasions. Each time the Senate 

declined to act on it. What they did, because it was such a good 

bill, they kept on loading other things into it and we couldn’t get 

it passed. I hope the fourth time is a charm. 

This is a simple commonsense fix for a minor flaw in our campaign finance laws. It provides clear guidance to those charged 

with the financial responsibility over a candidate’s funds while preserving the intentions of the candidate in the event of his or her 

death. I am happy to support this bill, and I look forward to it finally becoming law. 

Madam Chair, I had my own experience with a treasurer when 

I first got elected. We all want to have the optics right and put in 

a lawyer—no disrespect to lawyers, but lawyers are lawyers—or an 

accountant—to look good. And then after about a year or so I found 

out that my treasurer was allocating funds to some other people 

that I didn’t want to have happen while I was still alive. Imagine 

what would happen if I wasn’t. 

So nobody wants to really put a spouse or a family member or 

a person with the same name as the treasurer, again, because of 

the optics. This allows us to do that, and that person has no say 

whatsoever on disbursing of funds on any way, shape, or form 

while we are still alive. But in the event, unfortunately, of our 

death—which nobody gets out of this business alive, you know, it 

can happen while we are in office, and that person that we designate would know what charities we want to give our money to, 

what candidates we want to support, or who we may want to give 

it back. 

So I do believe this is a time that we are going to push as hard 

as we can to have the Senate hear it and try to get this done that 

benefits all of us. And thank you again for bringing this up. 

And I yield back. 

The CHAIRMAN. I thank the gentleman very much, and I certainly concur in everything that he said. I mean, if you think about 

it, a lot of these Federal candidate accounts are worth a lot of 

money and you certainly want to make sure that if, God forbid, 

something happens, that you do have a treasurer who is going to 

be able to disburse the remaining funds in a way that the candidate would have wanted it to go to, like you say, the charities 

that you felt strongly about or officeholders, et cetera.

So I think it is a commonsense bill, although I am stunned to 

hear you say that the Senate actually loaded this thing up and it 

couldn’t move. Kidding. Anyway, I certainly support this as well. 

Is there any other Member that wishes to—yes, Mr. Harper. 

Mr. HARPER. Yes. I just wanted to remind everyone that lawyers 

are people too. 

Mr. BRADY. What kind of people? 

Ms. LOFGREN. You are surrounded by them. 

The CHAIRMAN. All right, gentlemen. 

Any other Member? 

Okay. If not, I move that the Committee favorably report the bill 

to the House. The question is on the motion. 

All the Members that are in favor of the motion, signify by saying aye. 

Opposed, say nay. 

In the opinion of the Chair, the ayes have it, the ayes have it. 

The motion is agreed to. Without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. 

I would ask unanimous consent that the staff be authorized to 

make technical and conforming changes to the measure the Committee just considered. 

Without objection, so ordered. 

And this concludes today’s markup. Without objection, this part 

of the meeting is adjourned, and we will have the Chief come in 

and start with our hearing. 

[Whereupon, at 11:12 a.m., the committee was adjourned.]
