HHS Congressional Testimonies

The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Legislation (ASL) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) acts as the primary point of contact between HHS and Congress. It manages legislative communications, coordinates departmental responses to Congressional inquiries, and oversees the preparation of witnesses and testimony for Congressional hearings. ASL works with HHS agencies to ensure that testimony is accurate and consistent with departmental policies, and it helps prepare officials to effectively represent the department before Congress.
