Embassy security.--The Committee recommendation provides $6,151,379,000 for embassy security, which is $379,851,000 above the enacted level and $43,000,000 above the fiscal year 2027 request.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official House Appropriations report submitted by Diaz-Balart says the FY2027 bill recommends $6.151 billion for embassy security, an increase over both enacted funding and the FY2027 request. This supports material progress, but the report itself is committee action rather than enacted appropriations.

Vote Question: On Passage; National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2027; Status: Passed; Diaz-Balart: Yea.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The official House roll call shows H.R. 8595 passed the House 217-209 on July 15, 2026, with Diaz-Balart voting yea. This is stronger progress than committee-level action, but it still does not show final enactment into law, so delivery remains partial.

Diaz-Balart materially advanced the promise during the same federal term: as appropriations subcommittee chair, he reported H.R. 8595 with committee language recommending $6.151 billion for embassy security, above both the enacted level and the FY2027 request, and he voted for House passage on July 15, 2026. However, the evidence shows House and committee action, not final enacted appropriations. Because embassy security funding is only increased once appropriations become law, this is substantial progress but not full delivery.

Diaz-Balart publicly said the FY27 subcommittee bill includes an increase for embassy security, which shows he materially advanced the promised outcome in the current term. But the evidence stops at committee-level/budget-hearing action and does not show final enacted funding, so this is partial credit rather than full delivery.
