The promised outcome was to support creating a pilot program to strengthen C-TPAT. The SAFE Port Act enacted on October 13, 2006 included a C-TPAT subtitle directing DHS/CBP to carry out a one-year voluntary third-party validation pilot. Cornyn was serving in the Senate during that term and voted yea on final Senate passage of H.R. 4954, so the substantive outcome was enacted with candidate support during the same federal term.
