Policy
The DHHS Office of the Secretary must be informed
of all visits to the NIH by members of Congress or their staffs,
of all requests to visit the NIH by members of Congress or
their staffs, and of all official visits to members of Congress
or their staffs by NIH employees. The NIH Office of Legislative
and Policy Analysis (OLPA) must be notified of requests for
congressional visits, and the NIH must inform the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Legislation in advance of any proposed
visit and the purpose of the visit.
Procedure
As soon as planning begins or a request
is received for a congressional visit, notify OLPA through
your IC legislative contact
(PDF file), first by telephone (496-3471), then with a written report
(send to OLPA, Building 1, Room 244). The written report may be a memorandum
or, if appropriate, may be submitted on a Report of
Congressional Call form.
