Instead, we ask that you appoint, as soon as possible, a senior career State Department official whose sole and full-time responsibility is serving as Special Envoy for Holocaust Issues. That official should have the seniority, diplomatic experience, and specialized expertise necessary to negotiate complex restitution and compensation matters and to maintain the relationships that SEHI has built over decades.

Schakowsky joined a letter asking Secretary Rubio to appoint, as soon as possible, a senior career State Department official as the full-time Special Envoy for Holocaust Issues.

The verified commitment was an action promise to urge Secretary Rubio to appoint a full-time senior career Special Envoy for Holocaust Issues, not a promise that the appointment would occur. Verified evidence shows the Congressional Jewish Caucus letter did urge immediate appointment of a new Special Envoy, satisfying the promised action during the same term. The appointment outcome itself is not proven, but that is separate from this occurrence-specific action commitment.
