Federal offices would gather their records about missing service members and certain civilians in one public collection. Most records would come out unless strong safety, privacy, or legal reasons support keeping them secret.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Latest action on S. 3226: Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. Ordered to be reported with an amendment in the nature of a substitute favorably.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects families seeking answers about missing loved ones who served in the military or supported military work. It also affects veterans, historians, and other members of the public who want to study these cases. Federal offices would take on the work of finding, reviewing, protecting, and sending decades of records to the National Archives.
Why this matters: Families may now face scattered files and different rules at each federal office. This bill could give them one place to look for answers. It could also reveal more about past wars and government efforts to find missing people. Yet some details could remain secret to protect national security, intelligence work, or personal privacy. The search and review could take major time, staff, and funding.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
