The promise was framed as supporting legislation, not securing final enactment. During Tillis's current Senate term, he cosponsored the ARCH Act, S. 5375, which directly matches the promised policy by establishing a process to identify, verify, and preserve service records for at-risk Afghan allies who served alongside U.S. forces. The bill remained at introduction/referral status, but that does not defeat the promise because the committed action was legislative support.
