The introduced text would authorize an Office of Export Controls and Border Security and describes purposes including strengthening partner capabilities, preventing diversion, improving border interdiction, and addressing proliferation-sensitive and dual-use technologies.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Bill text closely tracks the commitment’s policy substance, including strategic trade controls, border/security enforcement capacity, WMD-related proliferation risks, and dual-use technologies. Because it is only introduced text, it supports effort/partial progress rather than completed delivery.

Jackson introduced H.R. 8689 in the 119th Congress, and the bill text closely matched the promise by seeking to authorize a State Department export controls and border security office focused on diversion of WMD, advanced conventional weapons, and dual-use technologies. However, the verified legislative status remains introduction and referral to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, with no enactment or implemented federal outcome shown. That is a serious same-term legislative effort, but not fulfillment of the promised policy outcome.
