June 27, 2025 Chair Comer, Speaker Johnson likely blocked UAP Caucus from SAPs, top HPSCI Dem says
Who?
Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) — Ranking Member, House Permanent Select Intelligence Committee (HPSCI)
Visit Ask a Pol ~ asking your lawmakers your questions at your US Capitol ~ what should we ask Congress next? Let us know!In our latest episode, Ask a Pol asks:
Do you know if Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has final say on security clearances for Oversight Committee members, especially when it comes to granting — or denying — access to Special Access Programs (aka SAPs)?
Key Himes:
“I think — but I'm not 100% sure — that the committee of jurisdiction can vote to make that happen,” Ranking Member Jim Himes exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “You’d have to confirm that.”*
BACKGROUND (ie rabbit trail…):
*The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence or SSCI — where Ask a Pol UAPs is historically best sourced — basically, told us they have no idea how House clearances work. They did acknowledge the process gets foggy-to-opaque quickly when dealing with SAPs.
SSCI then sent us to HPSCI...
“You mentioned SAPs specifically, those are mostly — we get some — but those are mostly HASC’s jurisdiction,” a helpful HPSCI aide told Ask a Pol on background. Full interview at AskaPolUAPs.com.

June 20, 2025 In wake of WSJ report, Sen. Rounds says UAPDA would give whistleblowers "a place where they could go"
Visit Ask a Pol ~ asking your lawmakers your questions at your US Capitol ~What should we ask Congress next? Let us know!Is it UAPDA season on Capitol Hill?
In our latest episode, Ask a Pol asks Sen. Mike Rounds:
So now we’re getting into NDAA — National Defense Authorization Act — season, are we going to see your and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s UAPDA — Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act — again this year?
“I'm open to it. Look, I just think we'd be better off if we made sure that individuals that may have information regarding, you know, their own knowledge of things that were simply unexplainable,” Rounds says.
“If they felt that there was a place where they could go to make the reports, but also for individuals who may have — because of their official capacity — information that could help us explain some of these phenomenon, that they knew that there was a place where they were expected to make that report to a central filing location.”
Even if this Wall Street Journal article is verified, if anything, UAPDA would help set the record straight?"
“I think so,” Rounds says.
