Support legislation that strengthens national security, holds China accountable, and advances U.S. leadership in technology and innovation.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congressman Jefferson Shreve and Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove introduced bipartisan legislation to strengthen national security by preventing adversaries, including China, from accessing sensitive American technologies. The bill authorizes the Commerce Department’s BIS to appoint 25 technical experts to help enforce export controls.
GovInfo identifies H.R. 7003 as introduced in the House on January 9, 2026, sponsored by Jefferson Shreve, and referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Shreve introduced the Securing Federal Devices from Chinese Applications Act to prohibit federal employees from downloading or using applications developed, owned, or controlled by China or the Chinese Communist Party on taxpayer-funded devices.
GovInfo records H.R. 7121 as introduced in the House by Jefferson Shreve and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
GovInfo’s related documents page shows Jefferson Shreve introduced H.R. 8288 on April 15, 2026, and that it was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Shreve was selected to serve on the House Committee on Appropriations and will sit on the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, among others.
Assessments
The promise was to support legislation strengthening national security, holding China accountable, and advancing U.S. technology and innovation. The evidence shows Shreve did make concrete legislative efforts in his current term by introducing multiple relevant bills, including H.R. 7003 on export-control enforcement and H.R. 7121 on restricting China-linked apps on federal devices, as well as later introducing H.R. 8288. These actions align directly with the promise and demonstrate serious effort. However, the record provided shows only introduction and committee referral, not passage, enactment, or another completed policy outcome. Committee assignment also supports capacity to work on the issue but is not itself fulfillment. Under the rule that serious attempts without successful delivery should be scored as never with effort credit, this is best judged as not yet delivered.
