Biography

Co-author —with Republican Senator Mike Rounds— of the UAP Disclosure Act of 2023, modeled on the JFK Records Act: it proposed an independent Review Board to declassify records and a government 'eminent domain' mechanism over non-human-origin material and technology held by private parties. That the Senate Majority Leader put his political capital behind disclosure raised the issue's institutional status.

UAP Disclosure Act 2025 (S.Amdt.3111)· 2023–26

Senate amendment S.Amdt.3111 to NDAA S.2296 (FY 2026), reintroduced in 2025 as continuation of the UAP Disclosure Act that Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) had first introduced in 2023. Co-introduced by Senators Mike Rounds (R-SD) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), co-sponsored by Marco Rubio (R-FL), Todd Young (R-IN) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM). Modeled on the 1992 JFK Assassination Records Collection Act: establishes a 9-citizen presidentially appointed Records Review Board with mandate to identify, review and declassify UAP records in federal custody. Status as of June 2026: two key provisions were removed in legislative negotiation ('gutted'), including the eminent-domain language over UAP material in private hands. One of the three formal demands from the June 9, 2026 Capitol press conference [[capitol-press-conference-2026]] is passage of the full Act.
