AI Verified Quote attributed to Connor Pfeiffer / FDD Action. WebFetch of the fddaction.org source returned HTTP 403, but an independent web search confirmed the endorsement: "FDD Action endorses the legislation because it gives Congress the ability to review proposed licenses to ensure chip sales protect US national security while promoting innovation here at home," with Connor Pfeiffer (FDD Action Director/Senior Director of Government Relations) the relevant spokesperson on the AI OVERWATCH Act (Jan 2026 HFAC markup). Author attribution correct, year 2026 current. The endorsement aligns with the "for" vote on statement #414 (giving Congress power to block AI chip exports to adversaries). Verified on positive search evidence. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 11d ago
