delivered same_term A for effort

Riley promised to support legislation allowing taxpayers to deduct taxes and state-mandated surcharges on gas and electric utility bills. In the same federal term, he introduced/co-introduced H.R. 8350, the No Taxes on Utility Bills Act, whose title and described purpose directly match the promised legislation. Because the promise was to support legislation, not necessarily enact it into law, introduction and sponsorship of the matching bill is sufficient for delivery.
