Great work again dude!!
Cheers!
Comer could appoint a UAP panel or task force within the Oversight Committee, but is seems that he's not interested in pursuing any UAP action under the Oversight Committee, and would prefer it were responsibility of the House Science Committee.
It will be interesting to see what demonstrable actions Burchett, Luna, Burlison and Moskowitz make on this issue within the Oversight Committee in the new year. And if Comer maintains his support for the UAP issue, but prefers it outside of his committee.
That's what Comer told us back in September - listen til the end part where he says he supports it but wants it under the Science Committee https://www.askapol.com/p/raw-audio-oversight-chair-comer-on?utm_source=%2Fsearch%2FComer%2520&utm_medium=reader2
Thanks Matt, I found that interview yesterday when I was combing through older posts! Creating a UAP panel within the Science committee makes sense to me if it's an investigation into UAPs themselves and their sightings. However, the UAP caucus is making the case that the withholding of information about possible UAP programs from Congress, and expending taxpayer money on these programs makes it an oversight matter. But (I think?) IC and DOD oversight would be the purview of the Intelligence and Armed Forces committees, a responsibility they would not be willing to give up to another committee. Add the fact that the Oversight committee is not entitled to security information from the IC and DOD, I foresee the UAP caucus getting caught in the middle with few options.
Hello, you may have seen a similar message to this already, but lll share it here in case you missed it.
It’s been said that the HPSCI is trying to remove the UAP legislation in the 2024 NDAA bill, which is led by Mike Turner. This bill hasn’t made it completely through the house yet. Mike has repeatedly squashed UAP transparency efforts either through stopping hearings, dismissing the topic overall, and attacking whistleblower David Grusch, who has done a great service to our country. Mike has stocks invested in multiple military, defense, aerospace companies, which may be a driver on why he is doing this.
Could you mention these concerns to some representatives or senate members, I guess so that they could mitigate this?
Thanks,
Dylan
