The account
In conference the House removed the independent review board, the eminent-domain power and the controlled-disclosure process. What survived required the National Archives to build a UAP records collection and agencies to review and transfer their records, and it barred spending on UAP-related programmes not disclosed to Congress. NARA issued guidance to agencies in February 2024.
The sceptical view
Schumer and Rounds publicly complained that the most important provisions were dropped; critics on both sides called the result watered down.
