So in that case, the senators here are trying to make public the most classified of information because they want to believe in little green men?

Or do you mean that their “constituents” didn’t get access to this info so make it public?

It's not little green men. It's access to other countries crashed tech, and analysis of that crashed tech. Even if it's not for reverse engineering, the capability analysis is still a nice payday for a well connected enough company.

The big deal is where those connections would be required/maintained after such a bill (a special committee in congress, vs. three letter agency insiders).
