US House Chaplain Pat Conroy wears a face mask and face shield as he walks to the House floor on Monday, July 20, 2020Congress' operations were thrown into disarray by the pandemic, showing just how much the legislative branch needs to modernize.
The uncertainty of the pandemic has also thrown the operations of Congress into flux. The crisis has strained not only our economy and our health infrastructure, but the institutions that are integral to our democracy. Like the rest of America, Congress was — and still is — adapting to this uncertain environment and identifying ways to operate effectively in a crisis.
To prevent the kind of operational uncertainty caused by the pandemic in the future, we recommended that Congress create a continuity of operations plan , a framework with minimum safety requirements for each office to meet. Offices could customize this plan to fit the needs of their district and staff. Providing offices with much-needed guidance could help ensure the safety of staff and members, as well as continuity of office operations on behalf of constituents.
That is why we recommended that the House prioritize the approval of platforms that staff need for effective telework and allow each individual staff member to have licensed access to the technology. To help streamline casework requests and provide constituents better access to federal agencies and resources, the House should implement a secure document management system, and provide digital forms and templates for public access.
