Evidence
Action: Mr. Hamadeh of Arizona (for himself and others) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services. Full title: "To authorize the conveyance by the Secretary of the Navy to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Commission in Huntsville, Alabama, of certain F–14D Tomcat aircraft, and for other purposes."
Congressman Abraham Hamadeh stated that he "proudly introduced the Maverick Act of 2026," described as "a bipartisan bill to preserve the last three F-14 Tomcats for public display and educational purposes," and said, "That is why I proudly introduced this legislation."
Assessments
The promise was specifically to introduce legislation preserving the last three F-14 Tomcats for public display and educational purposes. In the same federal House term, Hamadeh introduced H.R. 8331, the Maverick Act, matching that objective. Because the promised action was introduction of legislation rather than enactment, the introduction itself fulfills the promise.
