In 2023, the Senate Intelligence Committee included an extraordinary provision in UAP-related legislation: an amnesty proposal for defense contractors who voluntarily disclosed possession of materials “originating from non-human intelligences or of unknown origin” obtained through UAP-related programs. Liberation Times’ Christopher Sharp reported the full details. The provision presupposes the existence of exactly what Grusch was simultaneously alleging.
What the Amnesty Provision Said
The Senate Intelligence Committee’s proposal used language directly acknowledging that contractors may possess “non-earth origin or exotic materials” acquired from UAP programs. It offered legal protection for voluntary disclosure. The provision recognized that contractors operating under SAP classification could not legally disclose what they held without risking criminal prosecution — the amnesty was designed to create a pathway out of that bind.
The Significance
This provision, written by Senate Intelligence Committee staff with full access to classified UAP briefings, explicitly acknowledges in legislative language the possibility that private defense contractors hold non-human materials. This is not a fringe claim. This is the Senate Intelligence Committee of the United States Congress writing formal legislation that takes as a baseline assumption the exact scenario David Grusch described under oath. The provision was ultimately weakened before passage but its existence is documented in the Senate record.
