[Chairwoman of the Subcommittee] presiding.

Ms. MACE. Good morning. This joint hearing of the Sub-
committee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Govern-
ment Innovation, and the Subcommittee on National Security, the
Border, and Foreign Affairs will come to order.
Good morning and welcome everyone.
Without objection, the Chair may declare a recess at any time,
and I recognize myself for the purpose of making an opening state-
ment right now.
Good morning and welcome to today’s historic hearing, which I
am co-chairing with Mr. Grothman whose subcommittee held an
important hearing on this topic last year.
I want to thank my colleagues and the Oversight Committee, in-
cluding Mr. Burchett, Mr. Burlison, Mrs. Luna, Mr. Moskowitz, Mr.
Garcia, for their relentless drive to get answers on UAPs. They
have been steadfast in demanding transparency on the sightings
reported by military pilots and armed forces. Their commitment to
digging for the truth is exactly what this country needs to cut
through the secrecy surrounding this issue.
And many high-ranking individuals in the military and intel-
ligence communities believe UAPs demand greater attention, and
thus the purpose for this hearing today.
