How the Date Is Worked Out

  1. Enacted Dec. 18, 2025 (Pub. L. 119-60).
  2. Text: “Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.” Dec. 18, 2025 + 180 days = June 16, 2026.
  3. Recurs every 1 year, running from the first deadline: June 16, 2026 + k × 1 year.
  4. As of Nov. 11, 2026: next deadline June 16, 2027 (217 days away); previous June 16, 2026.

Delivery Status

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. 119-60 (0 found) (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.
