The specific commitment was to begin efforts immediately in support of permanently establishing the United States Space Academy in Southeast Louisiana, not to secure final site selection. Verified evidence shows Scalise led the Louisiana delegation in a joint letter supporting that permanent establishment, which is a material action fulfilling the promised effort during the same term.
