Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Senator Coons clearly introduced legislation (the Housing Tariff Exclusion Act) to exclude homebuilding materials from tariffs as promised. However, while he made a serious legislative attempt, including introducing an amendment to a broader housing package, the measure was not included in the final bill and did not become law. Therefore, the promise was never delivered but significant effort was made.
