Received a response from Raúl Grijalva (AZ) about Robert Garcia’s UAP Amendment.
“Dear XXXX,
Thank you for contacting me to express your views about transparency and disclosures regarding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) data as it relates to the National Defense Authorization Act. I appreciate hearing your thoughts on this issue.
I agree that transparency is an essential function of our government. I am proud to be an original cosponsor of the Audit the Pentagon Act. This Act holds the Pentagon, the only federal agency to ever fail an audit, responsible for managing billions of taxpayer dollars allocated each year. We have the right to know how the funds are being used and to reassure the public that Congress is working to ensure that the Pentagon is held to the same standard as all other federal agencies required by law to pass annual, independent, external audits.
I share your profound respect for science and the right of the American public to learn more about unexplained phenomena, and believe Congress has the responsibility to provide adequate resources to advance science and exploration. Recently, I joined the Congressional Planetary Science Caucus. The goal of the Caucus is to advance federal policies that:
-Support government agencies, commercial partners, academic institutions, and nonprofits in the research and exploration of space.
-Bolster efforts by space organizations to find, track, characterize, and mitigate the threat of potentially hazardous near-Earth objects.
-Facilitate the search for life in our Solar System and beyond, answering the fundamental question: are we alone in the Universe?
-Raise awareness of the economic benefits of federal investments in space science, technology development, and STEM education.
I am heartened by all the letters I have received from constituents like yourself and would like to thank you again for contacting me.
My staff and I will continue to monitor this issue closely to take the necessary steps to make sure your voice is heard on this issue in Congress. Democracy works best when we stay in touch, so I hope you will continue to contact me about the issues that matter most to you. Please visit [grijalva.house.gov](http://grijalva.house.gov), where you can sign-up for e-mail updates, send a message to me about current events or pending legislation, access my statements and press releases, and receive detailed information about the many services that I am privileged to provide for my constituents. I am honored to serve you, so please never hesitate to contact me in the future.
Sincerely,
Raúl M. Grijalva”
Comments: I didn’t mind this response, it was a lot better than the response I have received from Senator Mark Kelly in the past. He/his team also responded quite fast on this topic, and I wanted to share it with you all. Thank you!
