“Every effort should be made to locate all OGA staff in the same building for better oversight and communication.”
What has happened
- Not started
Whether HHS has moved Office of Global Affairs staff into one building has no public instrument at any point, and nothing on any allowlisted record records such a move. Cluster negative search D (Office of Global Affairs and HHS internal management) in the Chapter 14 log covers this item. The nearest dated in-window document is OGA's own About page, page-reviewed 2026-05-07 and read 2026-09-03: it describes attachés "posted in U.S Embassies in Brazil, China, India, Mexico, Kenya, South Africa, and Switzerland" and an HHS presence "spanning more than 60 countries", and says nothing about premises or consolidation. That is the page that would carry such a change and it does not — moved nearby, not delivery.

Research notes
- This is one of the minor asks that cannot be verified by their nature: an internal accommodation decision that would normally leave no published trace. Not started here records a logged negative search, not a finding that HHS has refused.
- Searched: Federal Register full text for “Office of Global Affairs” since 2025-01-20 (one document, an SES notice); all four in-window HHS Statements of Organization; Senate nominations, from congress.gov.
