The Office of Congressional Affairs also oversees all Congressional correspondence. When a Congressional letter or request for information is received by the USTR, it is entered into our tracking system, and tasked out to the appropriate staff for response. USTR's Correspondence Analyst follows up and works with USTR offices, as appropriate, to ensure items are responded to in a timely manner.
USTR's process provides high-level visibility of all Congressional correspondence. Our goal is to guarantee that all Senators, Congressmen, and Committee leadership have been afforded the benefit of written USTR responses before the Ambassador is scheduled to meet with them.
