# Plain Language Summary of H. RES. 1469

This is a request from Congress asking the Director of National Intelligence to hand over documents about what the intelligence community has been doing inside the United States that has nothing to do with foreign threats. Basically, Congress wants to see records about domestic activities—things happening within America—that the intelligence agencies have been involved in using their tools, staff, and authority.

The resolution is asking for all documents related to this, including emails, memos, letters, and other communications that the intelligence agencies have in their files. The Director of National Intelligence has 14 days to send these documents to the House of Representatives. This is a formal demand for information so Congress can review what's been happening.

Why does this matter to regular people? Intelligence agencies like the CIA, FBI, and NSA have powerful surveillance and investigative tools that are supposed to be used to protect Americans from foreign threats. This resolution is essentially Congress saying, "We want to see what you've been doing with these powerful tools when it's not about foreign intelligence." It's about oversight—making sure these agencies aren't using their authorities in ways that go beyond their intended purpose. If you're concerned about government surveillance or how intelligence agencies operate domestically, this is Congress trying to get transparency on those activities.

Of inquiry directing the Director of National Intelligence to transmit certain documents to the House of Representatives relating to the use of authorities, personnel, and capabilities of the intelligence community to conduct domestic activities unrelated to foreign intelligence.
