Who they are
Chuck Schumer joined Mike Rounds in proposing a UAP records collection and independent review process in 2023. The senators presented their proposal as an amendment to the national-defense legislation. His role in this timeline is legislative: an effort to change how government records are reviewed and disclosed, separate from adjudicating the truth of particular UAP claims.
He connects public demands for transparency with a concrete proposed records-review mechanism.
