Rep. Bill Keating's office states that Keating and Rep. Gregory Meeks wrote to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Secretary of State Marco Rubio opposing the delisting of Milorad Dodik, his family, and affiliates. The posted letter asked for answers by November 26, 2025, including why OFAC removed Dodik, Igor and Gorica Dodik, and affiliates from the SDN List, what behavior changed, and how the removals further U.S. and Bosnia and Herzegovina interests.

Keating materially carried out the promised federal oversight action in office by co-writing a congressional letter to the Treasury and State Departments demanding explanations for the Dodik family and affiliate SDN delistings, including the U.S. and Bosnia and Herzegovina interest rationale. The relevant Treasury delisting occurred on October 29, 2025, and Keating's letter followed on November 13, 2025, during the same congressional term. No evidence in the payload shows the agencies actually provided answers, but for this oversight claim the core promised act was the congressional demand for answers, which Keating performed.
