What the document says
“Of the unobligated balance of funds available to the Department of Defense for the E-7 program under the heading "Aircraft Procurement, Air Force" in Public Law 119-4, $200,000,000 is hereby transferred to and merged with amounts available for the E-7 program under the heading "Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force"”
Section 129 of division A moves money the Air Force had for buying the E-7 into the account it uses for development, for continued rapid prototyping to hold the schedule and move to production. Section 122 allows a further $199,676,000 of continued research money to be apportioned for the same program despite the no-new-starts rules in sections 102 and 104.
What the document actually says
“Of the unobligated balance of funds available to the Department of Defense for the E-7 program under the heading "Aircraft Procurement, Air Force" in Public Law 119-4, $200,000,000 is hereby transferred to and merged with amounts available for the E-7 program under the heading "Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force"”
That sentence, in plain words
The Air Force had money to buy E-7 planes. That money now goes to work on the plane.
What this is about
The E-7 is a radar plane. The buying money was not being used. It now pays for building and testing early models.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
