Section 300111 of title 36, United States Code, is amended to read as follows: The Comptroller General of the United States is authorized to review the corporation’s involvement in any Federal program or activity the Government carries out under law, including any program or activity that the corporation carries out in connection with events for which the Government provides leadership or support under the national preparedness system established under section 644 of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2007 ( 6 U.S.C. 744 ), or any successor system.
For purposes of carrying out this section, the Comptroller General of the United States shall have access to and the right to examine and copy all records and other recorded information, electronic or otherwise, within the possession or control of the corporation that the Comptroller General determines relevant to a review authorized under subsection (a), including such records and other recorded information pertaining to the corporation’s financial transactions and internal governance.
The Comptroller General shall be provided access, and be permitted to interview, any employee or volunteer of the corporation who the Comptroller General believes to have knowledge relevant to such a review. The Comptroller General of the United States may subpoena a record of the American National Red Cross or subpoena an employee of the American National Red Cross to appear for an interview when the record or employee is not made available to the Comptroller General upon request under this section.
A subpoena shall identify the record or employee, and may be issued by the Comptroller General. The Comptroller General may have an individual serve a subpoena under this subsection by delivering a copy to the chief executive officer of the American National Red Cross or by mailing a copy of the subpoena by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to its principal place of business. Proof of service is shown by a verified return by the individual serving the subpoena that states how the subpoena was served or by the return receipt signed by the person served.
If the American National Red Cross does not comply with a subpoena issued under paragraph (1), the Comptroller General of the United States, acting through an attorney the Comptroller General designates in writing, may bring a civil action in the district court of the United States for the District of Columbia to require it to produce the record or employee that is the subject of such subpoena. The court shall have jurisdiction of such action and may punish a failure to obey an order of the court under this subsection as a contempt of court. .
