Though he won’t appear on any of the Sunday shows, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. will still be in the hot seat. He has already testified before the House Judiciary Committee on the controversy surrounding his department’s secret monitoring of journalists, but lawmakers in Congress continue to raise questions.

“Fox News Sunday” will feature interviews with Representative Robert W. Goodlatte, Republican of Virginia and chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and Representative Chris Van Hollen, Democrat of Maryland, about the committee’s recent request for the Justice Department to clarify Mr. Holder’s statements on the secret monitoring. Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, will be on the program as well, responding to a recent suggestion from former Senator Bob Dole to close the R.N.C. “for repairs.” Mr. Priebus will also be on Univision’s “Al Punto.”

The debate over national security and freedom of the media continues on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” with Representative Mike Rogers, Republican of Michigan and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, giving his take on the matter. He will also discuss the wave of Chinese hacking on United States military programs. Later, Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York, will be on hand to answer questions about the coming roll out of the new health care law.

Bloomberg’s “Political Capital” will also delve into the Affordable Care Act, with Dr. Ezekiel J. Emanuel giving his take on what the administration should do to effectively implement the changes.

The Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups remains a hot topic this week, with CNN’s “State of the Union” hosting Representative Darrell Issa, Republican of California and chairman of the House Oversight Committee. Mr. Issa’s colleagues are planning a new hearing, this time focused on how the I.R.S. spent money on conferences. Senator Debbie Stabenow and Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen will stop by to talk about Congress’s upcoming legislative agenda as lawmakers return to Washington this week.

Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, will be on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” recapping his recent trip to Syria and discussing whether the United States should intervene on the situation there. He will be joined by Senator Jack Reed, a Democrat of Rhode Island who took part in a closed hearing on the events in Syria earlier this month. Mr. Reed will also weigh in on sexual assault in the military.

ABC’s “This Week” will feature David Plouffe, former senior adviser to President Obama, and Karl Rove, former adviser in the George W. Bush White House, discussing the fallout from the I.R.S. case and its potential impact on Mr. Obama’s domestic agenda. Representative John Dingell, the Democrat of Michigan who will become the longest-serving member of Congress next week, will be featured in the “Sunday Spotlight.” He has had a 57-year congressional career.

Bloomberg’s “Capitol Gains” will feature Russ Girling, C.E.O. of TransCanada, who will discuss the criticism surrounding the Keystone XL pipeline.
