Former Members of Congress to Convene a Citizen Hearing On Disclosure

Former Congresswoman Carolyn Kilpatrick (Dem, MI), Congressman Merrill Cook (Rep, UT) and Senator Mike Gravel(Dem/Lib, AK) have agreed to sit in Committee for a Citizen Hearing at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, April 29 to May 3.  Additional Committee members will be announced later this month.

An unprecedented event with historical implications, the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure of an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race (CHD), will include forty researchers and military/agency witnesses who will testify for thirty hours over five days before former members of the United States Congress. The CHD will attempt to accomplish what the Congress has failed to do for forty-five years - seek out the facts surrounding the most important issue of this or any other time.

The International spokesperson for the CHD is Apollo 14 Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell (Capt. USN/NASA ret.).

Reflecting the global implications of the issue, the CHD will be live streamed worldwide in English, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese and Mandarin (archive only).  This represents approximately one half of the world's population.  The webcasts will also include side press conferences and witness interviews conducted by former CNN News Anchor Cheryll Jones.   Access to these webcasts is available via subscription at:  www.citizenhearing.org

The main ballroom of the NPC will be configured to resemble a Senate hearing room.  There will be press sections, an audience area, and witness and committee tables. The Hearing committee will include former members of Congress and two experts of counsel. To the extent possible all appropriate protocols will be followed as with Congressional hearings.   The entire Hearing will be filmed as the basis for a forthcoming documentary - Truth Embargo - to be produced by Just Cause Entertainment.

On November 4, 2011 the White House issued this statement: "The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race.  In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye."   From April 29 to May 3 the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure will bring forward en masse the evidence the White House says doesn't exist.

The Citizen Hearing on Disclosure at www.citizenhearing.org is a project of the Paradigm Research Group: www.paradigmresearchgroup.org
