Policy is not proof
A hearing, reporting mandate, records collection, or bill can be historically important without establishing the explanation for any UAP. Political records show what government is asking, funding, requiring, or disclosing; they must be separated from scientific conclusions.
Follow the legislative record
Check bill versions, amendments, committee actions, enacted text, statutory deadlines, and agency implementation. A proposal may change substantially or never become law. Testimony records what a witness told Congress under a particular set of rules; it does not eliminate the need for corroboration.
