How the Date Is Worked Out

1. Enacted Mar. 23, 2024 (Pub. L. 118-47).
2. The provision is a condition on funds or authority: the duty arises before the agency acts, so it has no calendar deadline.

Not publicly verifiable

Public Evidence

• No public document located that shows delivery.

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. 118-47 (0 found) (Oct. 17, 2026)
• Federal Register API: phrase “UNRWA”: 4 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.
