The promise was to urge the Administration, not to independently complete UNRWA dismantlement. Lawler directly fulfilled that oversight commitment in the same federal term by leading/signing the May 26, 2026 letter to President Trump urging dismantlement of UNRWA regional operations and transfer of functions to more credible, transparent partners. His later introduced bill further supports material follow-through, though enactment was not necessary for this claim as written.
