The provided evidence shows only that Rep. Scott holds a committee role related to workforce issues and that recent official communications do not show a concrete shipbuilder-safety action or outcome. There is no documented legislation, oversight result, executive action, or measurable safety improvement tied to him that would support full or partial delivery, but the record here is also too thin to conclude definitively that the promise was never pursued or failed after a serious attempt.
