William R. Keating

NOPE Act of 2026

The proposal would give Congress more power to review and potentially block sanctions decisions made by the President against Russia, requiring additional congressional approval before certain sanctions actions can take effect. This would shift some control over Russia-related sanctions from the executive branch to lawmakers, affecting how the U.S. government responds to Russian actions through economic penalties. The change would impact businesses that trade with Russia, government officials who implement sanctions, and foreign policy decisions regarding U.S.-Russia relations.

Block the Use of Transatlantic Technology in Iranian Made Drones Act

Block the Use of Transatlantic Technology in Iranian Made Drones Act This bill requires the Departments of Commerce, State, and Defense to develop plans to prevent Iran from acquiring certain technologies related to unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), also known as drones. Specifically, the bill requires Commerce to develop a strategy to prevent the illegal export to Iran of certain technologies (including microcontrollers, voltage regulators, and microprocessors) that can be used in the development and operation of UAS. The State Department must develop a strategy to prevent the export of these technologies to Iran from the United States and allied and partner countries. Finally, the Department of Defense must develop a range of options that may be employed by the U.S. Armed Forces to counter or deny the ability of Iran to acquire these technologies and other technologies useful for UAS, such as computer-aided design (CAD) software and computer numerical control (CNC) machines.

To amend title 1, United States Code, to expand the scope of documents the Secretary of State is required to transmit to the Congress, and for other purposes.

The proposal would require the Secretary of State to send Congress a broader range of documents and information than currently required by law. This would give lawmakers more visibility into State Department activities and decisions, though the specific types of documents involved are not detailed in the available information. The measure is currently under review by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

To amend the Act of August 9, 1955 (commonly known as the “Long-Term Leasing Act”), to authorize leases of up to 99 years for land in the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Reservation and land held in trust for the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah), and for other purposes

This bill authorizes the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) to lease their land held in trust for a term of up to 99 years. Both tribes are located in Massachusetts.

Moldova Support Act of 2026

This bill would provide support and assistance to Moldova, likely including financial aid, military support, or diplomatic measures to strengthen the country's independence and security. The legislation has been referred to committees that handle foreign policy and legal matters, suggesting it may involve international agreements, funding mechanisms, or legal changes needed to implement the support. Moldova, a small Eastern European nation bordering Russia and Ukraine, would be the primary beneficiary of whatever assistance this bill authorizes.

The U.S.-European Nuclear Energy Cooperation Act of 2025

This bill would strengthen nuclear energy partnerships between the United States and European countries by making it easier to share nuclear technology, conduct joint research, and coordinate nuclear safety standards. The legislation aims to boost clean energy development and reduce dependence on fossil fuels while ensuring both regions can work together on nuclear innovation and security. The measure would affect nuclear power companies, energy researchers, and government agencies involved in international energy cooperation.

To establish a National and Nuclear Risk Reduction Center within the Department of State, and for other purposes.

The bill would create a new office within the State Department focused on reducing risks related to nuclear weapons and other major international threats between countries. This center would work to improve communication and coordination between the U.S. and other nations to prevent accidents, misunderstandings, or conflicts that could escalate into serious crises. The goal is to make the world safer by having better systems in place to manage tensions and prevent nuclear-related incidents.

No Funds for NATO Invasion Act

This bill would prohibit the U.S. government from spending money to support a NATO military invasion of any country without explicit congressional approval. The measure aims to ensure that Congress—rather than the President or NATO leadership alone—has the final say on whether American military funds can be used for major military operations involving the NATO alliance. It primarily affects how the Defense Department and State Department can allocate resources for international military actions.

Securing Global Telecommunications Act

Securing Global Telecommunications Act This bill requires the Department of State to develop and submit to Congress a strategy to promote the use of secure telecommunication infrastructure in countries other than the United States. The State Department must also report to Congress on (1) efforts by China and Russia to advance authoritarian interests or oppose fair, industry-led processes at the International Telecommunication Union, the U.N. agency involved with setting telecommunications standards and related regulatory activities; and (2) opportunities for greater collaboration with allies and partners to promote secure information and communications technology infrastructure in countries other than the United States.

Ukraine War Risk Insurance Act

The proposal would create an insurance program to protect American companies and investors from financial losses related to the war in Ukraine, covering risks like property damage, business interruption, and inability to collect debts. This would help U.S. businesses that operate in or do business with Ukraine continue their operations despite the ongoing conflict. The program would affect companies involved in trade, investment, and operations in Ukraine by reducing their financial risk.

Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2025

Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2025 This bill provides a streamlined process for certain Ukrainian nationals (including accompanying spouse and children) who are living in the United States to receive lawful permanent resident status. Specifically, the bill permits Ukrainian nationals who have been paroled into the United States after February 20, 2014, to apply for and receive lawful permanent resident status. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may waive grounds for inadmissibility (excluding certain crimes or security related grounds) for individuals who apply for status adjustment. DHS must establish vetting requirements (including an interview) for applicants that are equivalent to those under the United States Refugee Admissions Program. The bill also preserves eligibility for the status adjustment of certain battered spouses whose eligibility for such status stemmed from a marriage that has terminated. Finally, the bill requires DHS to issue guidance to implement these requirements and establishes a deadline for eligible individuals to apply for adjustment.

To prohibit the use of Federal funds to support or facilitate the participation of the Russian Federation in the Group of Seven, and for other purposes.

This bill prohibits using federal funds to support or facilitate (1) Russia's participation in a Group of Seven (G-7) proceeding, or (2) a reconstituted Group of Eight (G-8) that includes Russia. (The G-7 is an informal group consisting of seven of the world's largest advanced economies. In 2014, the G-8 became the G-7 when Russia 's membership was suspended following Russia's annexation of the Crimea region of Ukraine.)

Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance and Rehabilitation Act of 2025

Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance and Rehabilitation Act of 2025 This bill expands the John H. Prescott Marine Mammal Rescue and Response Grant Program to include separate grants to rescue sea turtles for the next seven years. The grants must be used for the recovery, care, or treatment of sick, injured, or entangled sea turtles; responses to rescue stranded sea turtles; the collection of data and samples from living or dead stranded sea turtles for scientific research or health assessments; facility operating costs that are directly related to activities to assist sea turtles; or development of stranding network capacity where facilities do not exist or are sparse. In addition, the bill establishes the Sea Turtle Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Rapid Response Fund.
