Occurrences
Evidence
The homepage's featured news is dominated by June 16, June 11, and June 10 items about district funding, Kansas City World Cup work, and a homeland security funding bill; it does not show a recent FBI-relocation action.
Alford serves on the House Appropriations Committee and its Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies subcommittee, plus National Security, State, and Related Programs.
The FBI lists its headquarters contact as 935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20535-0001, and says headquarters personnel direct and coordinate FBI activities worldwide. Other headquarters functions are listed in Clarksburg, West Virginia; Quantico, Virginia; and other locations, not Kansas City.
The FBI Kansas City page lists the field office at 11180 NW Prairie View Road, Kansas City, Missouri 64153, with territory covering Kansas and Western Missouri and a Special Agent in Charge. It does not describe newly relocated Washington, D.C. agents or personnel.
Public Law 118-47 includes a GSA construction and acquisition item for the National Capital Region: Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Consolidation, $200,000,000. The GovInfo PDF has no matching text for Kansas City.
The Clerk records Roll Call 102 on concurrence in the Senate amendment to H.R. 2882 with an amendment as passed, 286-134. Representative Alford, Republican of Missouri, voted Nay.
The introduced House CJS bill provided FBI salaries and expenses and $30,000,000 for construction, with that amount for a second DNA laboratory. It also said prior FBI construction balances for a new headquarters may only sustain use of the J. Edgar Hoover headquarters building. The PDF has no matching text for Kansas City or relocation.
Alford's official committee page lists House Appropriations Committee service, including the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, plus other subcommittees. It does not list an FBI relocation action or Kansas City field office initiative.
Alford's press release index lists recent 2026 actions on B-21 expansion, appropriations bills, housing legislation, nuclear triad security, SBA in Kansas City, NextGen TV, agriculture, and World Cup security funding. The visible current page does not show an FBI relocation action.
The Guardian reported that FBI Director Kash Patel said the Hoover building would close and that some FBI workers would report to the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. The article also reported that Maryland sued after the administration scrapped a Maryland headquarters move.
Assessments
The available evidence shows only general committee jurisdiction and routine district priorities, not a concrete move to relocate FBI personnel from Washington, D.C. to the Kansas City field office. There is no documented delivered outcome or serious completed attempt in the record provided, so the promise remains unresolved.
