Sue—
I've got no record of either Senator receiving a UAP specific briefing in the past two years, or attending a
briefing/hearing where the topic came up (it came up in our annual budget hearing to the SSCI earlier in 2020—the first
time that I can recall that the subject's come up in a generalized hearing-- but neither Senator was present).
V/R,
DK

Unfortunately, I am on telework this week (returning on Monday), and practically all of my UAP EXSUMS are on JWICS.
