Several Republican lawmakers pressed them on whether remote work is a cause of the backlogs, and all three said it is not. The officials also stressed not all federal employees are eligible to work from home. Rena Bitter, the assistant secretary of state for consular affairs, said the increase in demand for passports and other travel documents is the main reason for its backlog. She did reassure the subcommittee the agency is working as quickly as possible, and delays are expected to diminish as the year continues. Other topics at this hearing included modernization efforts, funding levels for each of the agencies, and staffing issues.
