A bill to require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on security cooperation with Guyana.

# Summary of S 2271 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would require the U.S. Secretary of Defense to prepare and submit a report to Congress about U.S. security cooperation efforts with Guyana. The report would document current military and defense partnerships between the two countries. The bill doesn't authorize new programs or spending—it simply asks the Defense Department to provide information about existing or potential security relationships. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects the Department of Defense and Congress.

It may be of interest to people concerned with U.S. foreign policy in South America, military partnerships, and regional security issues. Guyana could also be affected depending on what security cooperation the report recommends. **Current Status** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Senator Michael F. Bennet (D-Colorado) but remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. Bills at this stage may eventually move forward, be modified, or stall without further action.
