## Summary

**Expansion of the Abraham Accords framework.** This bill would direct the Presidential Special Envoy to promote normalization and integration in the Indo-Pacific, Central Asia, the Caucasus, and beyond. - It would change the Envoy's duties and staffing. The bill creates a Deputy Special Envoy role and asks for staff with relevant regional expertise. - It names the regions and countries to target. The Caucasus is defined as Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, and Central Asia is defined as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan; it notes Kazakhstan as the first Central Asian member. - It forces tighter interagency work and limits new spending. The Envoy must coordinate with departments like Defense, Commerce, and Energy and use existing authorities, and the text says no new funds are authorized to carry out those duties. *Would not authorize additional funding for the envoy's expanded duties, so the bill does not itself add new federal spending.*
