Route all OCFO budget communications through the Director of Legislative Affairs
Printed page 160 5. Department of Homeland Security
“To avoid "answer shopping" by congressional staff, particularly appropriations staff, all budget communications from the OCFO, including from the CFO him/herself, should first be provided to the Director of OLA to ensure consistency of information, messaging, and answers.”
What has happened
- Not started
Nothing found. No DHS directive, delegation or management instruction routing Office of the Chief Financial Officer budget communications through the Director of Legislative Affairs appears in the Federal Register, in DHS's own press index, or in the department's published issuances. An internal clearance rule of this kind is not normally published, and no allowlisted record of one exists.
No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.

Not started, on the one negative search we ran for the asks on DHS headquarters reporting lines and management practice. See #433 and #434, the two adjacent asks on p. 163 aimed at the same “answer shopping” problem, which are also unmoved.
