The UAPDA has apparently been ousted from the Senate ‘Manager’s Package’ by the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) chairman, Senator Rand Paul (though his office is denying this, and is now obfuscating attempts to clarify the matter). While this is a huge blow to disclosure efforts, I don’t think it necesarrily means that the UAPDA has no chance of ending up in the NDAA for fiscal year 2025.
Here is a guide explaining the process of passing the NDAA.
If my understanding is correct (and please help explain if I am wrong) there are still several opportunities for the UAPDA to make it into the NDAA. Now that it has been excluded from the Senate Manager’s Package it can be introduced as a standalone amendment on the Senate floor and be voted on independently. Additionally, it can be introduced in the House and included in their equivalent of the Manager’s Package, which will be reviewed by the House Armed Services Committee (HASC). The UAPDA also has an opportunity to be included in the House’s version of the NDAA by floor vote.
After all that floor voting and jostling by the Armed Services Committees the NDAA will go into conference where any discrepancies will be resolved. Again, please correct my understanding if I am mistaken, but there are at least three more votes that could include the UAPDA (HASC package amendment, and a floor vote in both the House and Senate).
In any case, please call/write your Senators and Representatives, and GO VOTE this fall.
