Every arrival is captured, hashed, and counted in the Coverage Statement — the merge is presentation, not omission. Also observed this day, not listed above: 7 release(s) the agencies date on other days (feed backfill from newly activated sources). Excluded under AGENCYPR-EX-01; counted in the Coverage Statement; captures preserved. --- ## 7. Recorded Votes Roll-call votes the chambers themselves record on 2026-09-17, in vote-number order. Every recorded vote in the window is listed: selection is by existence, not by importance, and no rule here prefers one question over another. Tallies and member positions come from the chamber's own published vote record, captured and hashed like every other source. This is the chambers' vote record itself; section 1.3 lists the Congressional Record granules in which votes were printed. #### United States Senate - **[Vote 236 — S. 4668: On the Motion to Proceed](https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1192/vote_119_2_00236.xml)** — Motion to Proceed Agreed to (77-22). - Motion to Proceed to S. 4668; A bill to protect the name, image, and likeness rights of, and provide protections for, student athletes and to promote fair competition among intercollegiate athletics, and for other purposes. - Tally: Yea 77 · Nay 22 · Present 0 · Not Voting 1 - Included because: VOTES-SEL-01 — recorded vote of this day in a chamber's own roll-call record (every recorded vote is listed, in vote-number order; selection is by existence, not importance) - Source: the chamber's own roll-call record (linked above) - **[Vote 237 — PN999-4: On the Cloture Motion](https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1192/vote_119_2_00237.xml)** — Cloture Motion Agreed to (49-47). - Motion to Invoke Cloture: Kasdin Miller Mitchell to be U.S. District Judge for the Northern District of Texas - Tally: Yea 49 · Nay 47 · Present 0 · Not Voting 4 - Included because: VOTES-SEL-01 — recorded vote of this day in a chamber's own roll-call record (every recorded vote is listed, in vote-number order; selection is by existence, not importance) - Source: the chamber's own roll-call record (linked above) - **[Vote 238 — PN999-4: On the Nomination](https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1192/vote_119_2_00238.xml)** — Nomination Confirmed (49-45). - Confirmation: Kasdin Miller Mitchell, of Texas, to be U.S. District Judge for the Northern District of Texas - Tally: Yea 49 · Nay 45 · Present 0 · Not Voting 6 - Included because: VOTES-SEL-01 — recorded vote of this day in a chamber's own roll-call record (every recorded vote is listed, in vote-number order; selection is by existence, not importance) - Source: the chamber's own roll-call record (linked above) --- ## 8. Bill Actions What the chambers did with individual measures on 2026-09-17, as the Library of Congress's own bill-status record states it. Every action in the ingestion window is listed, in bill-designation order: selection is by existence, not by importance, and no rule here prefers one measure over another. Section 2 lists the text of bills published this day; this section lists what happened to them. Publication lag: the record dates an action by the day the chamber took it and publishes it the following morning, so this section fills in after the day it describes has ended — the same lag the judicial section carries, and it is restated under Known gaps. No bill actions dated this day were observed. --- ## 9. Presidential Actions Source: the Executive Office of the President, as published on whitehouse.gov and observed 2026-09-17. These are the President's own instruments — executive orders, proclamations, memoranda — carried here as the White House published them, days before the Federal Register compiles them into section 3. Register (GUIDE §2): titles are the publisher's words and appear verbatim; any prose of ours about them is attributed, exactly as it is for agency releases. This section states what the White House published, never whether it was significant. 2 action(s) below arrived through both whitehouse.gov feeds; each is listed once and marked corroborated, with every observation preserved. ### 9.1 Executive Orders - **[RESTORING AMERICAN SALTWATER ANGLING AND RECREATION](https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/09/restoring-american-saltwater-angling-and-recreation/)** — An executive order modernizes Federal recreational fishing management by directing agencies to develop new data collection infrastructure, including mobile applications for electronic reporting, and to establish procedures for replacing unreliable Marine Recreational Information Program data with state-collected data where appropriate.

It accounts for every package observed on this digest day (GUIDE §3, observation-day filing); each package's own date may differ and is stated where it does. "Excluded" always names the mechanical rule; there are no unexplained omissions.* **Sync summary:** BILLS: completed 2026-09-18T04:02:39Z · CREC: completed 2026-09-18T04:02:39Z · FR: completed 2026-09-18T04:02:40Z · PLAW: completed 2026-09-18T04:20:14Z · USCOURTS: completed 2026-09-18T04:02:41Z; last watermarks as listed in the header. | Collection | Packages observed | Granules/documents | Summarized | Counted only | Excluded by rule | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | CREC | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | BILLS | 109 | — | 55 | 54 | 0 | | FR | 1 | 72 | 16 | 56 | 0 | | USCOURTS | 492 | 868 | 34 | 834 | 0 | | PLAW | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | AGENCYPR | 227 | 227 | 0 | 220 | 7 | | VOTES | 3 | 3 | 0 | 3 | 0 | | BILLACTIONS | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | PRESACT | 5 | 5 | 5 | 0 | 0 | **Exclusion rules applied today:** - FR-EX-01: notices counted, not individually summarized — 56 item(s) - USCOURTS-EX-01: district court opinions counted, not individually summarized — 827 item(s) - USCOURTS-EX-02: bankruptcy court opinions counted, not individually summarized — 7 item(s) - AGENCYPR-EX-01: release dated outside this day by the agency (feed backfill / newly activated source) — counted, not listed — 7 item(s) **Source graphics:** 26 graphic(s) flagged across today's documents: 26 content graphic(s) (equations, forms, maps, annex pages) and 0 boilerplate (signatures/seals, excluded by rule FR-GPH-01). Of the content graphics, 0 were analyzed via vision pass (vision pass not yet implemented) and 2 embedded above; the remainder are viewable in the cited source PDFs. **Known gaps:** 73 package(s) were not fetched and are not covered above; 4 fetched package(s) have no extracted records (extraction failed or pending); courts post opinions with delay; opinions filed on this date may appear in later syncs. *Verification: any item above can be checked against its source in one click via its govinfo link. Totals in this table are reproducible from the stored extraction records for 2026-09-17.* --- ## Methodology Selection rules, summarization prompts, and thresholds are versioned in this repository and identified by the pipeline version in the header (0cb798b). Editorial principles — primary sources only, opinion-agnostic prose, mechanical party-blind selection, full coverage accounting — are defined in [GUIDE.md](../GUIDE.md) §2. Ruleset in effect: prompt version 2; plain-language version 2. To reproduce this digest: re-run the report stage against the extracted records for 2026-09-17; no upstream re-fetch is required (GUIDE.md §5). *Inference (GUIDE §6 r15, standing): The pipeline finalizes every publication day with or without an inference provider. Model layers are additive. When no inference was available for a day, the digest states that fact in its own prose and nothing more; the cause is operational detail recorded in the day's provenance and operations report, not in the published digest. The Coverage Statement's arithmetic reconciles regardless. Items are listed with their citations whether or not they were summarized. A day finalized without model layers is frozen like any other day; prose is not backfilled into a frozen digest.* *Filing note (2026-08-06, standing): digests from 2026-08-06 file govinfo packages under their day of first observation — FAPD's three clocks are explained in the [FAQ](faq.html#fapds-three-clocks). The Federal Register files under its cover date, on which it is legally published. Digests before 2026-08-06 filed by each document's own date; the two Congressional Record issues observed 2026-08-04/05 (proceedings of 08-03/08-04) fell between the freeze and this change and appear in no digest — disclosed here, not backfilled.* *"In plain terms" lines are model-generated restatements of the stored summaries, derived only from the summary text shown beside them; items without one had no usable restatement. ALL-CAPS source headings are case-normalized for display; original casing is preserved at the source link. Term definitions above are static, repo-versioned prose.* License: this digest's compilation and prose are [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) (credit "FAPD — Free Agentic Publication Digester"); quoted official government text is public domain (17 U.S.C. § 105).
