limit their ability to threaten United States interests 
in Afghanistan’’. The report also stated that ‘‘Paki-
stan has not taken sufficient action against other ex-
ternally-focused groups such as Laskar-e-Tayyiba 
(LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), which contin-
ued to cooperate, train, organize, and fundraise in 
Pakistan’’. Moreover, since passage of Carl Levin 
and Howard P. ‘Buck’ McKeon National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 
113–291), the Secretary of Defense has been unable 
to certify that Pakistan has taken adequate action 
against the Haqqani Network in accordance with 
section 1222(f) of such Act. 
(7) Pakistan has not taken steps to dem-
onstrate its commitment to prevent the Haqqani 
Network from using North Waziristan as a safe 
haven, nor has it shown progress in arresting and 
prosecuting Haqqani Network senior leaders and 
mid-level operatives.
