Mike Rounds
U.S. Senator (R-SD); Senate Armed Services Committee; co-author of the Schumer–Rounds UAP Disclosure Act
On camera in The Age of Disclosure: Speaks on the UAP Disclosure Act, the political resistance it ran into, and the case for an independent records review board with eminent-domain authority.
Mike Rounds, a U.S. Senator from South Dakota since 2015[1], is a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee[2]. With then-Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Rounds co-authored the UAP Disclosure Act of 2023, an amendment to the FY2024 National Defense Authorization Act that proposed a Records Review Board with eminent-domain authority over recovered UAP-related materials[3].
While the most far-reaching provisions of the amendment were stripped from the final FY2024 NDAA[4], Rounds has continued to push for the underlying legislation in subsequent congresses.
