The legislation declares that all federal records related to UAP should be preserved, centralized, and disclosed with a presumption of immediate release to inform the public about the government's historical knowledge and involvement. It references credible evidence and testimony indicating that UAP records exist that have not been declassified, partly due to exemptions under the Atomic Energy Act. The bill would have granted eminent domain over any recovered non-human-origin craft or biologics held by private entities and required expeditious public transmission of records. While the full review board and strong disclosure presumptions were not enacted in the final NDAA, portions establishing a UAP records collection at NARA were incorporated. The document frames UAP as a matter of legitimate historical and scientific interest without endorsing specific claims of recoveries.[[4]](https://www.scribd.com/document/659122017/Schumer-UAP-Bill)
