How the Date Is Worked Out

  1. Enacted Dec. 18, 2025 (Pub. L. 119-60).
  2. Deadline runs from an event, not a calendar date: 30 days before the funds specified in paragraph (1) of subsections (b) and (c) for the respective system covered by the certification are provided to the G.
  3. No date can be set until the triggering event is publicly documented.

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.
