The occurrence-specific commitment is an action promise to call on DHS OIG to open an independent investigation. The verified original commitment contains that demand, and verified evidence 58639 confirms Wyden and Merkley demanded action from the DHS Office of Inspector General. This fulfills the call-on action in the same term; verified evidence does not need to prove that DHS OIG actually opened the investigation because the judged claim is the call/demand itself.
