Evidence

Section 1251 of Public Law 119-60 is titled "Extension of Pacific Deterrence Initiative" and amends the FY2021 NDAA PDI section, confirming Congress extended the initiative in the FY2026 NDAA enacted on Dec. 18, 2025.

Congress enacted the FY2026 NDAA with an explicit extension of the Pacific Deterrence Initiative, which satisfies the authorize-and-extend commitment.

Congress enacted the FY2026 NDAA on December 18, 2025, and Section 1251 explicitly extended the Pacific Deterrence Initiative by amending the original FY2021 authorization. That satisfies the promise outcome of authorizing and extending the initiative. Because the extension became law while Ernst was still serving in the Senate during the relevant term, this counts as same-term delivery.
