Stand with Tibetans in their pursuit of self-determination and support continued U.S. engagement with the Tibetan people and their democratic leadership.

As I promised his Holiness when I visited Dharamshala, the United States will always with stand Tibetans in their pursuit of self-determination. I’m proud to support this important bill to permanently cement our commitment to the Tibetan people and guarantee unbreakable ties with their democratic leadership.

McCaul repeated a commitment that the United States would stand with Tibetans seeking self-determination and backed legislation to maintain ties with Tibetan democratic leadership after the Dalai Lama.

McCaul urged his colleagues to support his amendment, which makes undeniably clear that the U.S. government recognizes the Dalai Lama’s succession as a private spiritual matter governed entirely by his office — and the CCP has no role.

He urged support for an amendment recognizing Tibetan control over Dalai Lama succession and excluding CCP involvement.

The official House release says Reps. James P. McGovern and Michael McCaul introduced the Assuring the Future of Tibet Act of 2026 to continue U.S. engagement with the Central Tibetan Administration, support Tibetan self-determination, and maintain ties with democratic Tibetan leadership.

Recent official evidence shows McCaul took concrete legislative action aligned with the promise, but the bill was only introduced by the June 1, 2026 as-of date, so it is a partial delivery signal rather than completed enactment.

Sen. Young's official release says S. 138, the Promoting a Resolution to the Tibet-China Dispute Act, was signed into law and was led with Reps. Michael McCaul and Jim McGovern; it refreshes U.S. policy toward Tibet and pushes negotiations advancing freedom for Tibetans.

This is a completed federal law involving McCaul that directly advances U.S. support for Tibet and negotiations over Tibet's future, supporting a delivered assessment for the core commitment.

House bill text shows McGovern introduced the Assuring the Future of Tibet Act of 2026, which states U.S. policy is to maintain engagement with the Tibetan people and their democratically elected and religious leaders, recognizes the Central Tibetan Administration as the continuity of Tibetan governance, supports Tibetan self-determination, and directs U.S. advocacy for CTA observer status at the United Nations.

McCaul took concrete legislative action in the same Congress to codify continued U.S. engagement with Tibetan leadership and self-determination, but the measure was only introduced and referred, so it is a strong partial-delivery signal rather than enactment.

The Senate office release says the Tibet-China Dispute Act, led with Reps. Michael McCaul and Jim McGovern, was signed into law and updates U.S. policy on Tibet while supporting a peaceful resolution and negotiations that advance Tibetan freedom and engagement.

This official enactment notice is the strongest proof that McCaul’s Tibet commitment was delivered in federal law during his congressional service.
