THE CONGRESSIONAL
COMMUNICATIONS REPORTING
SYSTEM
Naval personnel may communicate with a
member of Congress on any subject, at any time,
unless that communication violates a law or
security regulation. Federal law allows any
person of the armed forces to communicate with
a congressman without going through official
channels. No member of DON may interfere with,
or deny, a person’s right to communicate with a
member of Congress; however, supervisors should
advise their people of their access to the chain of
command to resolve problems. Experience has
shown that many situations can be rectified
through the chain of command, thereby saving
the time and cost involved in a congressional
inquiry.
For military personnel, such as supervisors
and/or managers, interference, before or after the
fact, is chargeable under the Uniform Code of
Military Justice (UCMJ), article 92(a). While
civilian personnel are not accountable under the
UCMJ, they are subject to appropriate
disciplinary or administrative action if they
interfere.
The address and phone number where your
congressman can be reached is as follows:
(Name of local congressman)
The Capitol
