The Depot Data Transparency Act, co-led with Congressman Vicente Gonzalez, requires DoW’s depot maintenance to apply to all individual depots rather than being averaged across an agency, thus strengthening the visibility of where taxpayer dollars are going.

Cloud co-led the Depot Data Transparency Act to require depot maintenance data to be reported at the individual-depot level so Congress and the public can better track funding and workload shifts.

Evidence

GovInfo lists H.R. 10047, the Depot Data Transparency Act, introduced by Rep. Michael Cloud for himself and Rep. Vicente Gonzalez and referred to the House Committee on Armed Services. The full title is to modify the depot-level maintenance limitations report to include information on each facility, with last action listed August 6, 2026.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Cloud introduced a standalone bill matching the commitment, but the official record still shows it only introduced and referred. No newer official action was found in the August 20-22, 2026 lookback window.

The release says Cornyn, Fetterman, Cloud, and Gonzalez introduced the Depot Data Transparency Act to amend 10 U.S.C. 2466 reporting requirements and improve visibility at the individual depot level. It also says Cloud is leading companion legislation that passed the U.S. House as part of the FY2027 NDAA.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This supports partial progress: the proposal reportedly passed the House in NDAA form and was introduced bicamerally, but there is no evidence by August 22, 2026 that it has become an enacted reporting requirement.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. unknown A for effort

As of August 22, 2026, the promised reporting requirement had not become federal law or an implemented Department of War mandate. Cloud introduced H.R. 10047 and reportedly secured matching language in the House-passed FY2027 NDAA, which is a serious same-term legislative effort and materially matches the promise. But House passage and bill introduction do not themselves require the Department to break out depot maintenance reporting by individual depot, so the promised outcome was not delivered.
