Evidence Searched

  • GovInfo Congressionally Mandated Reports collection: 1,209 packages listed; titles searched for Middle East terms; 55 State, Defense, Treasury and executive-office summaries checked for citations to Pub. L. 115-272 (0 found) (Oct. 17, 2026)
  • Federal Register API: phrase “Hizballah International Financing Prevention Act”: 13 document titles searched (Oct. 17, 2026)
  • MEF hand review: evidence.json, items with a link and a note on what the document shows (Oct. 17, 2026)

A status of “Reported late by GAO, committee or agency” appears only with a linked GAO, committee or agency statement. Reports sent only to committees, or in classified form, leave no public trace; their absence here is not evidence of a missed deadline.

Review

  • Machine-extracted by rule from the public law text; awaiting named human review.
