Multiple pieces of evidence demonstrate that Senator Barrasso introduced bills specifically aimed at eliminating prohibitions at international financial institutions opposed to financing traditional energy projects such as coal, natural gas, oil, and civil nuclear energy. The introduction of such legislation fulfills the promise to 'introduce legislation,' regardless of subsequent passage, and all activity was performed during the same Senate term. Related legislative actions further support this effort.
