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.
