Burlison's comments, as reported by Matt Laslo -
*“What it appears to be is somebody has discovered something—some advanced form of propulsion or technology—that may actually change all of our lives, maybe for the better.”*

As well, Burlison also made another interesting statement after the SCIF meeting. Matt Laslo asked Burchett and Burlison if Grusch's testimony was enhanced by what they learnt in the SCIF.
*ML - "Did this session bring any illumination to his testimony?"*
*EB - "It did for me. It did for me."*
*ML - "On a few points?"*
*EB - "Yeah."*
*ML - "That you can't talk about?"*
*EB - "I... I don't know that I can."*

The legislation referred to by Rennenkampff in this tweet, and in TheHill article today (https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/4277128-technology-surprise-ar…) -
*SEC. 1646. FUNDING LIMITATION ON CERTAIN UNREPORTED PROGRAMS*
*(a) LIMITATION ON AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS.—None of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act for fiscal year 2024 may be obligated or expended, directly or indirectly, in part or in whole, for, on, in relation to, or in support of activities involving unidentified anomalous phenomena protected under any form of special access or restricted access limitations that have not been formally, officially, explicitly, and specifically described, explained, and justified to the appropriate committees of Congress, congressional leadership, and the Director, including for any activities relating to the following:*
*...(5) The development of propulsion technology, or aerospace craft that uses propulsion technology, systems, or subsystems that is based on or derived from or inspired by inspection, analysis, or reverse engineering of recovered unidentified anomalous phenomena craft or materials.*
*(6) Any aerospace craft that uses propulsion technology other than chemical propellants, solar power, and electric ion thrust.*

The same legislation contains SEC. 9001, known as "The Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act"

And keep in mind, the DoDIG just completed a 2 year investigation of the DoD's activites involving UAP. Back in May 2021 the DoDIG wrote that, *"The objective of this evaluation is to determine the extent to which the DoD has taken actions regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP)."* The classified report was submitted on ~~13~~ 15 Aug 2023.
Did the findings of this report inform the UAP sections in the NDAA 2024?
