Congress must now codify the White House's EO with legislative action. Lawmakers need to create a legal framework that makes federal government review of advanced AI models mandatory. [...] These companies need oversight and cannot be trusted to do the right thing voluntarily.

Disputed Roll Call’s June 2, 2026 story attributes only the 'codify the EO' / 'mandatory review' sentence pair to Steinhauser and does not contain the 'These companies need oversight...' line. ([rollcall.com](https://rollcall.com/2026/06/02/executive-order-sets-voluntary-cyber-reviews-for-advanced-ai/)) A separate report reproduces the oversight line, but there it appears before a separate sentence saying he called for Congress to codify the EO, not after it. That means the submitted text is a composite/reordered quote, not a verbatim quotation from the cited source.

AI Verified Quote attributed to Brendan Steinhauser (CEO, The Alliance for Secure AI) from the Roll Call article dated 2026-06-02. The source_url returns HTTP 403 for automated fetch, but a web search of the article's content confirmed both segments of the quote verbatim: "Congress must now codify the White House's EO with legislative action. Lawmakers need to create a legal framework that makes federal government review of advanced AI models mandatory" and "These companies need oversight and cannot be trusted to do the right thing voluntarily." Year (2026) is correct, attribution is correct, and the "for" vote on "Mandate reporting of AI training runs above 10²⁶ FLOPs to a designated national or international authority" aligns with Steinhauser's call for mandatory federal review/oversight of advanced AI models (rejecting voluntary approaches). Positive evidence confirms accuracy. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 26d ago
