Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Introduced June 11, 2025 by Lloyd Alton Doggett · Last progress June 11, 2025
Directs the President and the Secretaries of the Treasury, Labor, and Health and Human Services to deliver any records they hold about a federal project with Palantir to build a centralized database of Americans’ personal information, the stated purpose and possible uses of that database, and services Palantir provided under non-competitive or IDIQ contracts. The requested materials must be provided to the House within 14 days after the resolution is adopted.
The President and the Secretaries of the Treasury, Labor, and Health and Human Services are requested/directed to transmit to the House of Representatives copies of any documents in their possession that refer or relate to the listed topics. This transmission must occur not later than 14 days after the date of adoption of the resolution.
Transmit copies of any document, record, audio recording, memorandum, call log, correspondence (electronic or otherwise), activity log, audit trail, audit log, written agreement, contract or contract solicitation, employment document, payment record, or other communication (or any portion of such) that relates to the development of a centralized database by the Federal Government and Palantir Technologies Inc. compiling American citizens’ personal information across Federal agencies and departments.
Transmit copies of any of the listed document types that relate to the purpose and potential uses of the centralized database, including whether it will be used for Federal tax audits and investigations, Federal criminal investigations, restricting or denying Social Security benefits, restricting or denying Medicare coverage, or selling/making available information for private purchase.
Transmit copies of any of the listed document types that relate to services provided by Palantir Technologies Inc. to the Social Security Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Labor, the Department of the Treasury, or the Department of Health and Human Services under any sole-source contract that lacked a competitive bidding process or under any indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract.
Who is affected and how:
Individuals/the public: The resolution seeks information about a proposed centralized database of Americans' personal information; disclosure could increase public knowledge of how personal data might be collected and used and could spur privacy-focused debate or reform.
Federal agencies named (Executive Branch): Those agencies must search for and produce records within a two-week window, creating administrative and legal tasks, and may need to review materials for sensitive content or legal privileges before release.
The contractor named (Palantir) and similar vendors: Public release of documents could increase scrutiny of their contract terms, procurement practices, and technical work on centralized data systems; this may affect reputation and future contracting.
Congress and oversight bodies: Receipt of records could provide evidence for hearings, further inquiries, or legislative proposals on privacy, data governance, or procurement rules.
Privacy and civil‑liberties groups: May use disclosed records to assess privacy risks, lobby for safeguards, or litigate if warranted.
Practical effects and risks:
The 14‑day deadline increases pressure on agencies to locate and process records quickly; this may lead to negotiations over scope or claims of exemption for classified or legally privileged materials.
Transparency could reveal program details that inform public debate, but release of operational or sensitive information could raise privacy or security concerns.
Because the resolution does not change law or funding, its main effect is to prompt disclosure and potential downstream oversight or policy responses.
