How the Date Is Worked Out

1. Enacted Dec. 18, 2025 (Pub. L. 119-60).
2. Text: “Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.” Dec. 18, 2025 + 90 days = Mar. 18, 2026.
3. Text limits the recurrence to 4 years after the first deadline: ends Mar. 18, 2030.
4. Recurs every 180 days, running from the first deadline: Mar. 18, 2026 + k × 180 days.
5. As of Nov. 11, 2026: next deadline Mar. 13, 2027 (122 days away); previous Sept. 14, 2026.

• 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.
