H.Res. 268 is a congressional resolution requesting information from the President and requiring the Secretary of Defense to provide documents to the House of Representatives within 14 days of passage. The resolution seeks all records related to U.S. military activities against the Houthis that occurred around March 15, 2025, as well as Defense Department policies and procedures governing the handling, sharing, and protection of classified and sensitive information since January 20, 2025. This resolution affects the executive branch, particularly the Department of Defense, which must comply with the information request. The resolution was introduced by Representative Smith of Washington and referred to the House Armed Services Committee. No specific funding or additional appropriations are mentioned in the resolution, as it is simply a directive for information gathering rather than authorizing new spending.
