- W55218419 abstract "The Army must capitalize on every opportunity to communicate its message to Congress. By proactively informing and educating Congress about our requirements, our relevance to nation's defense and our daily missions across spectrum of national and international activities, we obtain visibility Army deserves for myriad missions we perform. The US CONSTITUTION gives Congress alone the power...to provide for common defense...to raise and support Armies...to make rules for Government and Regulation of land and naval forces...to declare war...and to make laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying out foregoing powers.1 Congress organizes committees and subcommittees--such as House Armed Services Committee and Senate Appropriations Subcommittee for Defense--to carry out this charter.2 These committees maintain oversight of and responsibility for annual national defense authorization and appropriations acts. To better facilitate Congress getting information it needs, Army has established Office of Chief, Legislative Liaison (OCLL). The chief of legislative legislation, a two-star general officer, is directly responsible to secretary of Army (SECARMY) and is responsive to Army chief of staff (CSA). OCLL provides Army liaison services to entire Congress, with exception of Appropriations and Civil Works committees. Decades ago, Congress required services to establish seperate liaison offices to work with appropriations committees. In Army, that budget liaison office (SAFM-BUL) falls under assistant secretary of Army for Financial Management & Comptroller (FM&C). In addition to OCLL and SAFM-BUL, there are several other agencies that deal with congressional affairs for Army. The National Guard Bureau (NGB), US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Office of Chief, Army Reserve (OCAR) and several major commands (MACOMs), such as Army Materiel Command, also have combined policy and liaison offices for legislative functions. Figure 1 illustrates where OCLL fits in Headquarters, Department of Army (HQDA) organization. Organizations that have significant legislative affairs responsibilities are outlined in bold. By regulation, however, OCLL has responsibility for coordinating all congressional activities for Army.3 This article will focus on scope of activities that fall within OCLL purview. The following is a list of OCLL responsibilities as dictated by secretary of Army: * Formulating, coordinating and supervising policies and programs that impact upon Army's relations with Congress. * Providing liaison between Army and committees of Congress (excepting Appropriations, Civil Works and Printing). * Advising on status of congressional affairs that affect Army and on legislative aspects of Army policies, plans and programs. * Providing prompt, coordinated, consistent and factual information to inquiries received from members, or for congressional reports on legislative and investigative actions of interest to Army witnesses who are called to appear before legislative or investigative committees. * Administering US Army Congressional Fellowship Program, which is designed to provide congressional training to selected Army officers and civilians. Effectively telling Army story requires intense coordination and cooperation from throughout Army. OCLL works closely with staff sections across HQDA and MACOMs to carry a clear and concise Army message to Congress. It is truly a team effort. For example, Congressional Activities Division (CAD), within Army Staff (ARSTAF), is responsible for developing Army Posture Statement, which is Army's official position delivered to Congress each February. CAD uses a network of congressional activities contact officers throughout ARSTAF and Secretariat offices, in conjunction with OCLL, to make sure that Army's message portrays unified Army position. …" @default.
