This bill requires the Department of Defense (DOD) to report daily on the efforts to evacuate U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents from Afghanistan until the President certifies to Congress that all such individuals who sought evacuation have been evacuated. Until such certification is submitted, DOD may not use FY2021 funds for activity which would have the effect of reducing the total number of service members deployed to Afghanistan, except in specified circumstances.
To direct the Secretary of Defense to submit to Congress daily reports 
  on the evacuation of citizens and permanent residents of the United 
            States from Afghanistan, and for other purposes.
