Burlison planning to "work with the White House on language" of updated UAPDA
from Ask a Pol uaps · host Matt Laslo
Who?Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) — Oversight Committee & Secrets Task ForceAsk a Pol asks:The annual NDAA — or National Defense Authorization Act — season’s coming soon. Do you think there might be more support for something like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Mike Rounds’ UAP Disclosure Act this time around?Key Burlison:“I do,” Rep. Eric Burlison exclusively tells Ask a Pol UAP. “The time that I spent [last year] talking to these Committee Chairs in both the House and Senate has at least loosened the soil. So I think that’ll give me an opportunity when I go back and have the conversation, it’s not going to be a fresh topic to them.”Ask a Pol’s on Venmo, PayPal, Cash App — or just buy us a beer! Caught our ear:Especially now with the White House on board?“Yes,” Burlison tells us. “What we’re trying to do right now is, I’m trying to work with the White House on the language and say, ‘Look, based on what you’re planning to do — does this* dovetail in with your goals for release?’ and ‘What kind of real mechanisms do we need to put in place to operationalize this disclosure?’”Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol‘s exclusive interview with Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO), slightly edited for clarity.TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Eric BurlisonSCENE: After casting his vote on the floor of the US House of Representatives, Rep.
