Background
The United States Congress filed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 on December 6, 2023, incorporating specific language addressing Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. The legislation includes Subtitle C covering Sections 1841 through 1850, which establish frameworks for UAP-related matters. Additionally, Section 1687 imposes limitations on funding for certain unreported programs, while Section 7343 addresses funding restrictions specifically related to anomalous phenomena.
The final version represents a compromise between House and Senate positions, as documented in the accompanying Joint Explanatory Statement. This non-binding document provides guidance for executive branch implementation. The UAP provisions underwent substantial modification from earlier proposed versions, though the specific nature of these changes requires comparison with previous legislative drafts.
The Black Vault obtained and published the relevant sections alongside the complete legislative text. The released documents include excerpts from the explanatory statement with highlighted sections for easier viewing, providing transparency regarding the legislative intent behind these UAP-related provisions.
