McGovern personally sent an official letter to Secretary Rubio urging the Department of State to assess future atrocity risks in the Central Sahel and report to Congress on regional atrocity prevention under the Elie Wiesel Act. Because the promise was to urge the Department, not to secure the Department's final action, the documented letter fulfills the commitment during his current federal term.
