The promise was to support legislation, not necessarily secure enactment. During Fong's current House term, he was listed as an original cosponsor of H.R. 9838, the National Security Interstate Pipeline Act, which directly matches the promised policy by providing expedited approval for interstate oil and natural gas pipelines critical to U.S. national security. Because this was federal legislation and Fong materially supported it while in office, the promise counts as delivered in the same term even though the bill had not passed.
