H.R. 9781 was introduced by Mr. Higgins of Louisiana and would amend 15 U.S.C. 714b(i) to set the CCC borrowing cap at $45,000,000,000 through September 30, 2031, then return it to $30,000,000,000 afterward.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): GovInfo bill text confirms Higgins introduced the exact CCC borrowing-authority increase described in the promise; the bill text shows introduction and referral, not enactment.

The promise was framed as supporting legislation, not guaranteeing enactment of the CCC borrowing-authority increase. In the same federal House term, Higgins introduced H.R. 9781, the Defend American Agriculture Act, which directly matches the promised policy by raising Commodity Credit Corporation borrowing authority from $30 billion to $45 billion through September 30, 2031. Because he sponsored the exact legislation, this satisfies the support-legislation commitment even though the bill is only introduced/referred and not enacted.
