The verified commitment was an action promise to urge Secretary Rubio to preserve SEHI, not to prove that SEHI was ultimately preserved. Verified evidence shows the letter made that request, and Jan Schakowsky was listed as a Member of Congress on the letter, establishing her material participation as a signatory during the same term.
