This is pretty monumental legislation being introduced by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, some highlights of the proposed amendment

All Federal Government records concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena should carry a presumption of immediate disclosure and all records should be eventually disclosed to enable the public to become fully informed about the history of the Federal Government’s knowledge and involvement surrounding unidentified anomalous phenomena.

(4) Legislation is necessary because credible evidence and testimony indicates that Federal Government unidentified anomalous phenomena records exist that have not been declassified or subject to mandatory declassification review as set forth in Executive Order 13526 (50 U.S.C. 3161 note; relating to classified national security information) due in part to exemptions under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.), as well as an over-broad interpretation of "transclassified foreign nuclear information", which is also exempt from mandatory declassification, thereby preventing public disclosure under existing provisions of law.

There has been a lot of talk lately due to testimony given before Congress from a former Pentagon employee with the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office who claimed (second hand) that the USA had intact and partially intact alien vehicles

“We are not talking about prosaic origins or identities,” Grusch told the Debrief. “The material includes intact and partially intact vehicles.”

Grusch said analysis determined that this material was “of exotic origin” – meaning “non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin”.

Now, in my opinion, just because someone has impressive credentials doesn't mean that they're not a loon. On the other hand, I feel that the results of any tax funded research into such matters should be fully public.
