Among the elements contained within the relevant portion of the bill are additions to the scope and authority of AARO, with Congress now directing the Office to report directly to Defense and Intelligence Community leadership. The bill also directs AARO to extend the scope of its inquiries further back into history to review potentially relevant government records dating as far back as 1945.

Significantly, Sec. 1673 of the FY 2023 NDAA also outlines protections for U.S. personnel that have signed any such agreements [NDA's--Non Disclosure Agreements], allowing them to come forward with any information and report their involvement with such programs to AARO, and to Congress.
Douglas Dean Johnson, an independent researcher who tracks legislation related to UAP and reports on related developments on his website, called the relevant portion of Sec. 1673 “a sweeping anti-reprisal clause, applicable both to government employees and contractors.”
“Sec. 1673(b)(1) provides that those bringing information forward into the new system are not thereby committing any violation of the laws,” Johnson wrote in early December, adding that provisions within the bill prevent those coming forward with information from being “impeded from that disclosure by any previously applicable non-disclosure agreement.”
Specifically, the language within Sec. 1673 outlines provisions for any Federal Government programs and their employees, as well as contractors within those programs, related to unidentified anomalous phenomena, “including with respect to material retrieval, material analysis, reverse engineering, research and development, detecting and tracking, developmental or operational testing, and security protections and enforcement.”
Language within the bill also states that the historical review and survey of non-disclosure agreements is to be completed by AARO within an eighteen-month period following the NDAA being signed into law.

IOW, the real target of this is US security.
AARO?
On July 15, 2022, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks, in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), amended her original direction to the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence & Security by renaming and expanding the scope of the Airborne Object Identification and Management Group (AOIMSG) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), due to the enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 2022, which included a provision to establish an office, in coordination with DNI, with responsibilities that were broader than those originally assigned to the AOIMSG.

Hey, “anonymous” is a pretty big word. Most first graders struggle with that one . . .
‘anonymous’ does not appear in the story nor in any comment so far. You of course mean ‘anomalous’, right?
I thought it should have been named UFOUAPOMG.

We have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it!
No one, in this case, is trying to get intel that would damage our national security. Nor does this bill include any provisions that would do so.
Considering the state of education in America lately, college graduates would struggle with that one.
Multi-syllable words are racist! Just like math.
Heavy Sigh.
The OmniCoupUs rolls on.
Alien buzzbombs are the worst. ;^)
“Alien buzzbomb” would be a great name for a mixed drink.
This money will be harder to track than invisible UFOs
There's no money to track.
The UAP/UFO provisions in the bill aren't about any money being spent. They are about liberating military, DOD, and military contractors/scientists (former and current) from unnecessary Non Disclosure Agreements (NDA's) that were preventing them from disclosing what they know about these craft (at a minimum, to Congressional intel committees).
The provisions in question include information regarding UFO/UAP "material retrieval, material analysis, reverse engineering, research and development, detecting and tracking, developmental or operational testing, and security protections and enforcement."
Did you see that bit? Material retrieval, analysis, reverse engineering, testing, etc. That's rather mind-blowing to think Congress is even suggesting that the government has retrieved and has been testing and reverse engineering stuff that isn't human-made.
Mainline your caffeine, it’s the only way to be sure.
I saw a bit recently on a youtube video about how humanity lived on beer and wine forever because water was often tainted with bacteria (the alcohol killed it). Even babies were fed wine and beer.
And then coffee and tea (the boiling water killing bacteria) were discovered and human productivity exploded.
Factual? Who knows?
But it sure "sounds" good.
Mmmmmm. Coffee.
