My mistake here's the Bill as Signed, Again if serving a Life Sentence see if you can find anything on DPA Funding, AFRL, or IBAS. Good Luck. Pulled these out as at least tangentially germane.It's in there somewhere unless it's AF Dark Money. If you find it it likely won't cite hard dollars. Cross Section 4201 only categorizes General Topics. Could be Soldier Systems, Weapons and Munitions etc. We've come a long way from "Grab your Flintlock and meet on Concord Green".
