Caught our ear:

“I intend to,” Rounds says after Ask a Pol wonders if he plans to drop the UAPDA when Congress starts working on this year’s National Defense Authorization Act — or NDAA.

Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol’s exclusive interview with Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD), slightly edited for clarity.

TRANSCRIPT: Sen. Mike Rounds

SCENE: Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo approaches Sen. Mike Rounds as the senator and his aides are entering the US Capitol via an underground tunnel. They proceed to chat until Rounds and his mini-entourage hop an elevator up to the Senate floor, so he can vote…on another nomination.

Matt Laslo: “Hey, how are you?”

Mike Rounds: “You look like trouble today!”

Laslo smiles.

ML: “I’m always trouble.”

Rounds smiles.

ML: “Have you talked with anyone in the administration about your UP — your UAPDA?”

MR: “My what? My U…?”

ML: “UAPDA — your disclosure act with [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer.”

MR: “Oh, that one! No.”

ML: “Do you think that they’re going to be handling, um…”

MR: “Well…”

ML: “…because, like, he [President Trump] had the Executive Order on JFK.”

MR: “Yeah.”

ML: “Yeah?”

MR: “I mean, I’m hopeful that they would be more supportive to it, but, honestly, we’ve been more focused on the noms [nominees] and so forth. We haven’t really been focusing on much of our legislative agenda yet.”

ML: “Yeah?”

MR: “So…”

ML: “But you’d imagine once the NDAA picks up again, you guys will be offering it again?”

Elevator bell dings.

MR: “Yes.”

ML: “Yeah?”

MR: “At least I intend to.”

ML: “I’ll be watching.”
