For your information, I work as senior foreign news journalist for the Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE), which is a national public service broadcaster, like a combo of PBS and NPR in the U.S. I have been following the UAP issue during the past couple of years, and I'm looking forward to reading AARO's UAP historical review, which I understand is due to be published any day now. As soon as the report is published, would it be possible for Director Phillips to spare me a few minutes for comments? Also, in the future, I would greatly appreciate an opportunity to join online any DOD press availability or briefing on the UAP issue, such as was held in December 2022 (https://www.defense.gov/News/Transcripts/Transcript/Article/3249303/usdis-ronald-moultrie-and-dr- sean-kirkpatrick-media-roundtable-on-the-all-domai/).
