Public state: delivered As of 2026-10-08 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): delivered. same_term A for effort

The judged commitment is to support legislation directing the DNI to report to Congress on AI use with FISA Section 702 information, not to secure enactment or the completed report. The verified original commitment states Walkinshaw introduced the bipartisan bill, and verified evidence confirms the bill would require the DNI to submit that report. That is a material candidate contribution satisfying the support-legislation action in the same term, while enactment of the underlying reporting outcome is not established.
