I am writing to request immediate congressional oversight of Oracle Corporation’s simultaneous control over critical infrastructure serving American media, government health systems, and defense networks. The pending Paramount–Warner Bros. Discovery merger, combined with recent federal contract awards, raises specific, legally recognized conflicts of interest that federal regulators have not addressed. This is not solely a media consolidation issue. It is the transaction that completes Oracle’s position as the dominant infrastructure layer beneath healthcare systems, intelligence workloads and, if approved, the largest media company in American history. Three recent events mark this moment. First, on Feb. 11, 2026, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services selected Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to host and modernize core systems serving more than 150 million Americans. Second, on the same day, Oracle secured an $88 million Air Force Cloud One contract with Impact Level 5 and 6 authorizations, adding to its Top Secret and TS/SCI cloud regions. Third, on Feb. 26, 2026, Warner Bros. Discovery declared Paramount Skydance’s $111 billion bid a superior proposal, with Larry Ellison personally guaranteeing $44.6 billion of the deal. Together, these developments accelerate a pattern already in place. Oracle has a long history of collecting sensitive data and an extensive footprint in American media and government infrastructure.  From this proposed merger, three conflicts emerge, each mapping to recognized categories under FAR Subpart 9.5 and the Preventing Organizational Conflicts of Interest in Federal Acquisition Act (2022): 1. The data position. Oracle would simultaneously process subscriber and viewing data for the merged media entity while hosting Medicare, Medicaid, VA and DoD health records. No unified data firewall or governance framework has been proposed across these domains. 2. The revolving door. The former CMS administrator now leads Oracle Health, which has secured expanded federal healthcare contracts, with no public record of a formal OCI review tied to those awards. 3. The financial loop. Federal contract revenue supports Oracle’s stock price, which secures Ellison’s personal guarantee backing the merger, while the merged entity is positioned to run on Oracle infrastructure. No single regulator is currently evaluating Oracle's aggregate position across healthcare, defense, social media, AI infrastructure, and entertainment. The conflicts described above fall through the gaps between current processes.   I urge you to initiate oversight hearings examining Oracle's expanding position and the adequacy of current regulatory review processes for transactions that consolidate infrastructure control across critical sectors. Do not let current news events detract from the serious attention this requires.  Please see the prepared dossier for further information and sources: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nXLkrlv1J1xgSa4i2RTlKnobXIWE1CEL/view]
