### Support for UAP Legislation
Senator Rubio was the chief sponsor of the bill that mandated the [[Director of National Intelligence]] to produce an unclassified report on UAP, which led to the landmark June 2021 "Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena." He has been a vocal advocate for taking the UAP issue seriously, stating that "There is a lot we still don’t know about these UAP and that is a big problem. We’ve taken some important steps over the last few years to increase transparency and reduce stigmas, but more needs to be done."[^1]
On June 17, 2020 Rubio submitted, from the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the committee's report accompanying S. 3905, the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021. The report directs the [[Director of National Intelligence]], in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, to submit within 180 days a report on unidentified aerial phenomena, which the [[Office of the Director of National Intelligence]] issued on June 25, 2021 as its "Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena."[^2][^3] On December 21, 2020 Rubio had the joint explanatory statement for the act printed in the Congressional Record; the statement provides that it "incorporates by reference, and the Executive Branch shall comply with, all direction contained in" S. Rept. 116-233.[^4] Luis Elizondo described Rubio as the chief sponsor of the bill.[^1] He has been a vocal advocate for taking the UAP issue seriously, stating that "There is a lot we still don’t know about these UAP and that is a big problem. We’ve taken some important steps over the last few years to increase transparency and reduce stigmas, but more needs to be done."[^1]
He has worked closely with a bipartisan group of senators, including [[Kirsten Gillibrand]] and [[Chuck Schumer]], as well as with [[Christopher Mellon]] and [[Luis Elizondo]], to draft and pass legislation that has established a permanent UAP office ([[All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office|AARO]]) and created a secure process for whistleblowers to report UAP-related information to Congress. His leadership on this issue has been a critical factor in the recent progress of the UAP disclosure movement.[^1]
