LISTEN: Laslo & Burlison
Ask a Pol asks:
Do you know what happened with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s UAP Disclosure Act — or UAPDA — in this year’s National Defense Authorization Act or NDAA? It doesn’t seem like it was ever formally offered?
Key Burlison:
“I’m still trying to get it. There may be a last dying hope here,” Rep. Eric Burlison exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “But I have to move quickly. [HASC] Chairman [Mike] Rogers said if I can get the Four Corners* to agree to put it into the NDAA, then he’ll put it in.”
*Four Corners refers to the Chair and Ranking Members of both the House and Senate Armed Services and Intelligence Committees.
