Evidence

Congress.gov lists S.4356 as introduced on May 16, 2024, sponsored by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand for herself and Sen. Josh Hawley, with latest action referral to Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. The bill would authorize USPS funds for high-security collection boxes and electronic arrow keys.

Relevant mail-theft-prevention legislation existed, but the official record shows only introduction/referral and does not show Hyde-Smith as sponsor or original cosponsor on the bill text page. No newer action appears in the last lookback window.

Congress.gov lists S.3356 as introduced on November 29, 2023, sponsored by Sen. Richard Durbin, with latest action referral to Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. The bill text would let USPS police protect the mail and on-duty postal employees beyond postal property where needed.

The Postal Police Reform Act was another relevant USPS/mail-security bill, but the official record remained at introduction/referral and did not establish Hyde-Smith sponsorship or enactment.

The official actions page for S.3356 shows one action: on November 29, 2023, it was read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

This confirms the relevant bill did not advance beyond referral in the official action record; no last-lookback-window action was found on this page.

Congress.gov identifies Cindy Hyde-Smith as a Republican senator from Mississippi, serving in the 115th through 119th Congresses, 2018 to present.

This confirms Hyde-Smith remains in later federal service during the relevant 119th Congress lookback period, so unresolved status remains current rather than final failure based only on term expiration.

Assessments

unresolved same_term

The cited evidence shows relevant federal mail-theft legislation was introduced in the 118th Congress, but it remained at referral and was not enacted. It also does not establish Cindy Hyde-Smith as a sponsor, cosponsor, or material driver of the listed bills. Because Hyde-Smith remains in the Senate and the promise concerns support for legislation rather than a completed statutory outcome, the claim is not yet a final failure, but there is also not enough evidence to mark it delivered or give an effort badge.
