The verified commitment was to oppose USDA's rescission proposal by urging the Department to withdraw it and maintain the 2001 Roadless Rule. Verified evidence shows Vindman joined a letter to Secretary Rollins opposing the proposal, and the letter specifically urged withdrawal and maintenance of the rule in its entirety. The broader regulatory outcome remaining in effect is not separately proven, but the occurrence-specific promised action was completed by Vindman in office.
