Thanks to @rleewatson and the @forge_institute for inviting me to speak at the Forge Summit in North Little Rock alongside fellow Arkansans @SenTomCotton and @RepRickCrawford. The IC needs innovation from America's heartland and from companies of all shapes and sizes.

I'd like to thank Professor Avi Loeb and the UAP Science Advisory Council, as well as the Disclosure Foundation and To The Stars representatives, for joining us recently at @ODNIgov in their capacity as advisors to the intelligence community's UAP Governance Board. Your insights and feedback into @POTUS's historic disclosure effort are appreciated and the American people are fortunate to have such expert counsel. We look forward to continued collaboration on PURSUE objectives. #UAP

The @DeptofWar and the Intelligence Community are working closely together to ensure historic @POTUS disclosure directives on #UAP are implemented with seriousness and at speed. This waiver process is a critical component of the strategy.

RELEASE: Department of War Issues Legal Waiver to Authorize UAP Disclosures to PURSUE

"This waiver establishes an authorized, legally protected disclosure mechanism for current and former personnel to provide UAP-related National Defense Information (NDI) to designated representatives of the PURSUE effort.

Under this directive, all current and former DOW service members, civilian personnel, and contractors holding or previously granted access to UAP-related National Defense Information (NDI) are authorized to disclose protected information directly to official PURSUE representatives.

The waiver supersedes civil and administrative enforcement provisions contained within Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and Special Access Program Indoctrination Agreements (SAPIAs) previously executed within the United States, strictly for communications directed to the PURSUE team."

Twenty-five years ago this morning, nineteen terrorists murdered nearly 3,000 people. They struck the Pentagon, forced the heroes of Flight 93 to decide how that day would end, and brought down the Twin Towers.

@ODNIgov was not built as a monument. It was built as a correction: to integrate, coordinate, and warn—so the President and the country can act before the next attack, not after it.

We honor the dead by doing the work they can no longer do. Remembrance without vigilance is just ceremony.

Thank you to everyone who still carries that duty. May we be worthy of the people we lost, and of the people who still depend on us.

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we honor the lives lost, the heroes who responded, and the resilience of our nation. The Intelligence Community remains vigilant against emerging threats.

Great to spend time with Arkansas State Senator Steve Crowell and Arkansas State Representative Bart Schultz for discussions regarding foreign threats to Arkansas. @DHSgov Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis Matt Kozma joined ODNI @NCSCStreet, @NCTC_Official and @FBI representatives for in-depth collaboration regarding counterintelligence and counterterrorism issues.
