• On June 16th, US House lawmakers received a classified briefing on the upcoming Senate UAP/UFO report by officials from the FBI and the US Navy. The House members in attendance were from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation (C3).

• According to the New York Post, several lawmakers made comments to reporters as they left the secure room used for the briefing. Andre Carson (D-IN) said that while there are national security concerns to consider, “We’re looking forward to having a public hearing at some point.”

• The House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said, “It was an interesting briefing. I did learn things that were certainly new to me. But I think I’m going to leave it at that.”

• Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) said, “The stigma is gone. Now that’s as big a change in policy as I’ve witnessed about this issue in my lifetime. So the fact that they are taking this sort of thing seriously for the first time, I think, is important.” However, Rep. Quigley then said, “If I had to predict how the public will react to this, one word would be disappointing.”

• Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT) gave a pessimistic assessment saying, “I’m not on the edge of my seat.”

• Rep. Val Demings (D-FL) said she felt the briefing was important. “You know it’s always about our safety and security …and so that’s really the area where we really focused on this morning.”

• Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY) said, “We take the issue of unexplained aerial phenomena seriously to the extent that we’re dealing with the safety and security of US military personnel or the national security interests of the United States, so we want to know what we’re dealing with. …[A]nd we all know that there’s [a] proliferation of technologies out there,” Rep. Maloney added. “We need to understand the space a little bit better.”

Maloney added. “We need to understand the space a little bit better.”
