What this bill does
H.Res. 1001 is a "resolution of inquiry," a procedural tool used to formally request that the executive branch turn over specific documents to Congress. It asks the President and directs the Secretary of State to send the House, within 14 days of the resolution's adoption, all records dating from January 20, 2025, forward related to the Administration's stance on Greenland. This includes plans or assessments about U.S. ownership of or "free association" with Greenland, policy statements on Danish sovereignty over Greenland, analysis of the 1951 U.S.-Denmark defense agreement, legal assessments about using force against a NATO ally, and records of communications between State Department officials and Danish, Greenlandic, or other NATO governments, as well as private U.S. individuals, on these topics. It also seeks records tied to specific events, such as presidential remarks, a March 2025 State of the Union reference to Greenland, a reported influence campaign, Danish intelligence assessments, and the appointment of a Special Envoy to Greenland.
The resolution primarily affects the President and Secretary of State, who would be required to produce the specified records if the resolution is adopted; it does not itself change any policy. It also affects House members' access to information about executive branch dealings involving Greenland and Denmark.
The bill was introduced by Rep. Dina Titus on January 14, 2026, with numerous cosponsors, and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. As a resolution of inquiry, it is entitled to expedited committee consideration under House rules. The next steps would be committee action, followed by a possible vote in the full House; if adopted, the document production deadline would begin running from that date.
