      Generally speaking, I agree with you; it’s usually vague. However, these two representatives have been the most vocal.

      I’m hopeful that we’ll at least gain more insight into whether they were granted approval to enter a SCIF with David Grusch, or what their plans are for more hearings, among other things.

    I’m intrigued to see whether we’ll garner any additional insights, given that Congress is currently in recess.

    It’s nice to see The Hill doing this. An event like this is bound to stir up more headlines, even if its topics already addressed. The longer it stays in the public spotlight, the more pressure is put on other politicians to address it.

    Edit: Looks like you can also list a question you’d like asked if you register for the event.

      Great catch! I didn’t notice that. Thanks for bringing it up.
