The hearing panel will be headlined by former congressman Merrill Cook (R – Utah) who was once famously banned from his own party’s offices after a profanity-laced tirade and was plagued during his few years in Congress by reports of erratic behavior leveled by his own staff. “Merrill has taken up permanent residence in whacko land,” Cook’s chief of staff Janet Jenson wrote in an inter-office e-mail in 2000. ”If he asks you to fax his underwear to the speaker’s office, please just do it."
Joining Cook will be former congressman Roscoe Bartlett (R – Maryland). The 86 year-old raised eyebrows in 2004 when he attended a Unification Church event to receive the “Ambassador of Peace medal” from cult leader Sun Myung Moon who, afterwards, declared himself the Messiah as Bartlett watched in delight.

If i understand what i am reading this is a bad thing, as much as i want for the UFO discussion to be moved forward having these people be associated with it is a step backwards and honestly that's probably why its happening. The crazier the person is presenting the information the crazier people who take this subject seriously seem to others who have little to no information on it.

Hi, There will be nothing notable happening during this meeting.
The meeting will be counter-productive at best. As I see, there are no fresh eyes attending to discuss the subject, just an out-casted Cg and an old man who will bring nothing to the table. Why? because neither two have anything to bring.
That's the deliberate agenda of the meeting, to solve nothing.
Isn't it great?
It's a "Press" Club... and the topic is UFO's. What's happening here,so you know, is a few specific non-credible individuals were selected 'on purpose' to solve nothing so that it can be put on record that the 'Subject Has Been Discussed."
These kinds of meetings happen all the time, it's just a front for show to temporarily ease complaints from the public (and others) harping on re-evaluation of said subject.
"let's have a meeting so we can temporarily stop a few phone calls and letters."
With that head up that end, and that over there up the other end, if you get my drift, my guess is nobody is going to see anything.
Happy day to you. There are other, more important things happening out there.

The 2007 event with Leslie Kean, James Fox, and Fife Symington, limited to very credible speakers, raised the bar for quality way out of reach of these guys. Yet what did it accomplish?
