"Additionally, he is working to craft a ‘crypto-forward’ 2027 National Defense Authorization Act." ... "Rep. Gooden: Lastly, I’ll ask you as we continue to craft the NDAA, what authorities and resources does INDOPACOM need to address in respect to the national security dimensions of digital assets?"

Official House release shows Gooden publicly pressing an Armed Services witness on digital assets in the NDAA process and explicitly saying he is working on a crypto-forward 2027 NDAA.

"Additionally, he is working to craft a ‘crypto-forward’ 2027 National Defense Authorization Act."

A later official House release repeats the same commitment after another Armed Services hearing, indicating the effort was ongoing in the lookback window but not yet completed.

Assessments

unresolved unknown A for effort

The promise concerns work to craft a crypto-forward FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act, and the available evidence from April 2026 shows Gooden actively pressing Armed Services witnesses on digital assets and stating he is working on NDAA language. However, the FY2027 NDAA process is not shown as completed or enacted in the provided record, so the promised outcome cannot yet be judged delivered. The documented hearing activity and stated drafting effort support an effort badge, but not final delivery.
