Bipartisan Senators Say GL 135 Russian Diesel Imports Run Counter to 2022 Ban and Skipped Required Consultation; Letter Oct 13 Demands Rescission

Sequence only, with date kinds. Statement date 2026-10-11 (six senators: Collins, Murkowski, Tillis, Curtis, Shaheen, Blumenthal per AP syndication); letter date 2026-10-13 (12 senators, six Republicans and six Democrats, asking rescission of GL 135, per Kyiv Post summary, not fetched). The legal hook is Pub. L. 117-109 (2022), not the September 2026 act: its sec. 3 termination route needs a 45-day prior consultation and report, a presidential certification and a 90-day wait with a joint-resolution-of-disapproval window. OFAC issued GL 135 with none of these on the public record; the GL text cites no statutory authority. Contested: Treasury says the license is lawful; TIME quotes Edward Swaine (GWU) that the administration could argue a license is a suspension, not a termination. As of Oct 15, 2026 no certification, report or joint resolution under either act was found.
