Wyden fulfilled the promise because the requested action was to call on BLM to reject the proposed rescission and maintain the 2024 Waste Prevention Rule. The August 19, 2026 congressional letter directly did that, and Wyden was listed as a U.S. Senator signatory while serving in federal office. The separate Federal Register notice shows the BLM proposal was pending, but the claim did not require BLM to actually reject the rescission.
